I'm glad to see that other people in the community agree that the UT music rocks! Sure, there are some ever so slightly dodgy tracks but to play the game with the music turned down is criminal! I can't believe that in PC Zone they said that UT had "truly terrible music". The music is great and for the most part fits in perfectly with the game. The tracks for Hyperblast, Liandri Mining Core and Morpheus stand out in particular as being very cool. Oh, and the tune in Stalwart(XL) is quite good. Anyone who puts the music down is an idiot. Next you'll be saying that Half-Life is the worst game ever and in no way adavanced the FPS genre.

The Q3A music is great, but very samey.
The UT music is also great, but more varied.

They both suit the kind of game they are...

(as for the Q2 music, it too is great - in context)

And...why hasn't anybody mentioned the great music from Half-life - which actually had a dynamic score?

Eh?

I like 90% of UT music. Alot of Unreal 1's music is really good too. Q2? That music sucks. The Q3 music is ok though.

Wow! Thanx for the response guys! I do have to agree that the best soundtrack for a game was Half Life. That music rocked! The music in Homeworld was great as well (the in-game music, not that terrible band Yes' efforts) if a little tame. Well it is classical.

I like Unreal music because it has the background feel and some cool hardrock like the underwater base. Quake 2 and 3 music, YUCK! I always turn it down because it has nothing to do with the game. Just my opinion.

OK SSSHAD, there could be a problem with your copy of HL. Here's when there's music in HL:

1. The train journey
2. Getting the HEV suit
3. Lot's of times in "We've Got Hostiles!"
4. Meeting the Gargantua in Power Up
5. Riding the flatbed train in On a Rail and launching the rocket in said level
6.Getting the Gauss gun in Questionable Ethics
7. Surface Tension (at the cliff when the jet fighter flies by, meeting the tentacle in the desert, practically everytime you meet soldiers)
8. have to go

More HL music for SSSHAD:
8. Not too sure about Forget about Freeman
9. Very start of Lambda Core
10. Very start of Xen.
11. Inside the floating island in Xen
12. Gonarch's Lair
13. Don't think there's any in Interloper
14. And finally, the end sequence.

Maybe I missed some out, I don't really know. Anyway, that's quite a biyt more than 2 tracks isn't it?

So the music appears only in those places? Then my Half-life music is fine. I just go a bit confused coz i thought that Half-life had continuous(damn, guess i spelled that wrongly /~unreal/ubb/html/smile.gif) music - like Quake or Unreal.

I love the HL soundtrack, especially the music in Gonarch's Lair and the beginning train sequence. The music fits very well with the game. But I still think the Quake 2 soundtrack is the best ever.

Hehe! I've never even heard the Q2 music. hardly ever notice the Q3 music cos even if I set it up at the highest volume I can still hardly hear it. The UT music just rocks though even at low volume!

OK - questions:

1) What do all mean by dynamic?

2) What is mod music?

3) Vampyr[me] how do you manage to get **** to appear without the asterisks blocking it out?
