C'mon, this song by Vader fits!


Vader - This Is The War!

It does till the guitars kick in and the pace speeds up.

I always liked Hitoshi Sakimoto's modern classical compositions.

My choices for a MWOnline intro music theme would be the following:

This above stuff always makes me think of the old Mechwarrior 2 days, the music was a bit symphonic, but also had a heavy feel to it.

That one

Carl Orff and AC/DC are my choices .

[Exploding Boy]

Or anything by these guys:

Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries OST. Every track. Every note. Every cockpit-smashing second.

If there was ANY WAY that they could secure the rights to use all of that music in the MWO that would be awesomeness. If not... well, I STILL HAVE every track in MP3 format ripped from the original box title cd from 1996. I also still have the original disk as well in *nearly* mint condition - so I'll just be playing that instead.

Dude I would kill to just hear the old MW 2 music for this game. Umber Wall.

You know, I think the whole 'rock' theme is overused lately.

And no, MW2 did not use rock. It used 'Orchestral' tracks and 'ambient' tracks. In some cases, it used orchestral to amazing effect, especially giving that 'going to war' feeling with their percussion.

What would I LIKE to see in MWO? Orchestral again. I want a music that can capture that feeling the MW2 gave me so long ago, a feeling that I can get time and time again simply by popping the disc into a CD player. I want tracks that can paint pictures in my mind NOT of Mechs and battle, but of the REASON we battle, the REASON fights rage.

MW2 used those tracks to such amazing effect, when you were in battle you KNEW you fought for the Clans, you KNEW what you had to do and why you were doing it.

I think that the typical 'rock' music silliness will detract from that feeling.

But hey, that's just the rambling of a Vet missing his orchestral pieces.

If I'm gonna rock out, it'll be to classical anthems about the Day of Judgment.

I dont know if anybody did this already but here you go.

[LordDeathStrike]

we shouldnt have music in battle unless someones running their own ipod, we should have in game voice coms, computer constantly telling us important things like incoming missiles, and the sounds of glorious brutal battle.

the in game voice comms should get staticy and cut out during ecm, or once you take dmg to your antenna arrays, should be no text comms, just the built in voice system.

this would ensure plenty of things to hear in game, without muzak. add a vote function if the team has to shut up the obvious xbox live call of duty reject that wont shut up with the spamming obviously.

[MrDred]

Something like that. But i like also the tune from the debut trailer.

[livingdead1318]

Just sayin it kinda fits.




Something a bit harder lol

Hey guys im new here and over the comming days/ weeks i'll be making more posts/replys to these topics...

As for the sound track, i'd go with strings or drumbs as apossed to the "tipical" rock sound track.

So i would suggest the film sunshine album composed mostly by John Murphy. Some tracks have already been use in other TV programs and adverts.

Here are a couple tracks i think would add depth.





But if u want some thing more up-beat, fast and in your face, then u cant go wrong with some dub-step IMO

This thread disappoints me with it's lack of Klendathu Drop and Prelude to War.

Thought about it some more, and realized that there's actually a right answer to this question. It is the following:
