I have to say I still listen to Jeehun Hwang's soundtracks from MW2. Love every single one of them.

Let's hear your opinions?

Best Mechwarrior music? That's an easy one :)

All of it, of course! :)

I also listen to all the mw2 sound tracks. would listen to the rest, but I lost them. :)

Jeehun Hwang, end of story. Dwayne Decker's stuff on the vengeance/bk tracks just encouraged people to turn it off and listen to ANYTHING else. You could tell he tried to emulate the same style but was in NO way gifted enough to pull off what Jeehun did. It ended up being an insulting let down. I fear all else but anything from Jeehun would result in the same. Nothing like 'Wolves on the Prowl' while rampaging in a medium or 'Pyre Light' while harrasing in a scout. For those looking for those old tracks:

MW2 http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/747
MW2 Ghost Bear Legacy http://gh.ffshrine.o...oundtracks/6464
MW2 Mercenaries http://gh.ffshrine.o...oundtracks/6465

Tracks from tons of old games on there, as well as many other genres. You can also download the MW4 stuff by Dwayne Decker. I'd advise it only for comparison purposes, as multiple listens bleed the ears.

To be honest, I liked it all. I think it's just being a Tech-head that makes me want anything BattleTech/MechWarrior.

Curses, I was going to put Arkham Bridge here, but then you beat me to it :) Although, these two are close seconds for me:

The whole mech2 sound tracks were just epic, and I dont think there has been any other game imo that has ever been close or done as well.

Got my MW2 disc sitting next to me for any time I want to listen to the soundtrack. Jeehun Hwang all the way, praying they bring him back for MWO his music really seals the deal when your playing Mechwarrior.

I never knew the name of this one... Wolf Trial 1 eh? I sort of acquired the tune as my Merc Unit's theme, named it "Pushing Forward" because I could never find a name for it. The original name is sort of fitting, though, hehe.

So can any admin types clue us in to who is doing the music or candidates for it? Bottom line, no Taylor Swift plz.

Why is it nobody refers to mechwarrior 3 when talking about good music. Sure it only had two tracks but they were much better than a lot of songs in mechwarrior 4.

He also did the music for Heavy Gear. Something of a forgotten classic IMO. It had a seamless blend of FPS and sci-fi sim combat themes.

Steel Tranquility. Combine it with the crunching sounds of a mech's foot into the earth, torso twisting to scan the battlefield...
