Well I guess my question is: are we going for music to provide realism, or to set the mood?
In MY opinion, realism isnt too important when it comes to music. Maybe a drumset is taking it a bit far,but fitting to the mood of the game is more importans, in my opinion, than going for realism.
Take Guild Wars for example. You can have seige tutrles (Huge turtles with cannons on their back) on your team. Now This is COMPLETELY rediculus, but it really helps to make the game fun

Or take Battlefield 2142.
They have these "drop pods" that are a substitute for parachutes. Pretty unrealistic, but It really helps set the mood.

People dont want really soft, and hard to connect the sound to the game-type-music. Even if it is realistic. I think that truthfully, people wont play the game for the music. But the music helps set the mood, the feeling of the game, that will draw them back to play again.

Of course, there is always the option of having a jukebox that lets you decide what music to play, but thats for another place, and another time.

I think that some people are right about how the music just dosnt seem to fit the world we reside in.
for me, the most important thing in a game is it's mood. How well it sucks you in and makes you believe you live in this world. Music can very very deeply effect the mood.

Let's take(Dare I say it?) RuneScape for example. Pretty crappy game, but the music just completely kills any sign of a slightly good game in it. This is mainly because of its annoying melodies, and it's high pitched, fraud, instrumentals. Planeshift Is not nearly as horrific as the music of runescape, but it still kinda hurts the feel of the game.

Now Enough of my complaining. Here are some suggestions.

NEWGROUNDS
A place filled with wonderful musicians who would probably be willing to write and compose music for this game for free, seeing as how its just a hobby for most. Here are some people who I would suggest you listen to:

Madboss

WuSchell

and Evil-Dog

(He has some rock, but alot of good classical)

Hope I didnt make anyone mad, and that I have some good suggestions.

Thanks for reading.

After playing for two days, I totally agree that the RP community is fantastic. There are only a few problems that I need help with.
- When people RP with me, things in the chat menu come up like this sometimes:
Gerath smiles "Have a good one!"
-Some people RP in blue, is there a color command like there is in CoD?

Answers(or links to answers) would be appretiated.

Thanks!

Thanks man! I have to go on a family camping trip tomarrow...    but I'll be sure to download on Sunday! *exited*

The only thing I remember having a problem with was this vertical pipe in the sewers... I would try to jump over it, but to no avail, then I would see like 10 other people do it with ease... any advice?
