Battlefield 4: China Rising
Loading five times
As already mentioned in the review of the main game, there were various themed DLCs for Battlefield 4 that added new maps, weapons, vehicles, and game modes. I haven't played any of them, so my Google knowledge ends here. More importantly, the expansions also included some music.
In the case of the first two DLCs, China Rising and Second Assault, I could only find them as game rips with one track each. According to the fan wiki the music from the later expansions Naval Strike, Dragon’s Teeth and Final Stand was uploaded to the officia Battlefield-SoundCloud channel but has since been removed – too bad! Fortunately, the internet never forgets, which is why I can now begin my review.
The score
The first DLC revolves around the Far East, as you might guess from the name. After all, China Rising was released in 2013, at a time when the constant East-West divide still prevailed and people looked to the US as an example of a strong (albeit flawed) democracy. Well... fun times. The track Silk Road by Johan Skugge, which is part of the DLC, is primarily ear-splitting loading time filler with heavy beats in the style of the main game. Nice, but that's about it.
