ADD new lobby music

[UnKuT]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Add a new selection of lobby musics. EDIT: WITHOUT removing The Warrior Song.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Currently there is only one lobby song, The Warrior Song, and it has been the same for months and months, making it severely repetitive imo. Adding more that still fit the CM/Aliens theme would be a good idea.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): I recommend the following to be added as lobby musics (in the appropriate file format obv):

This one is kinda like The Warrior Song, fitting the whole "marine pride" theme, plus it's one of the most known Vietnam war era songs; the Aliens film was heavily influenced by Vietnam, so this would make sense. I know it's 2:21 minutes long and the lobby lasts three, but I think forty seconds of silence isn't that unbearable.

It's from the Aliens film, it's almost exactly three minutes long, and it fits the whole CM feel completely. There's also a new version from the Colonial Marines game if a faster and more modern version is prefered.

I know this differs from the whole "marine badassness" song, but it is simply so eerie, creepy and atmospheric that it definitely deserves a spot. The ambience it gives reflects the sheer threat never found before by the marines, but that they will surely have to face down on the planet. Also even though the video is 3:18 long, the song itself ends more or less at 3:01. Finally, it's from an Alien game too!

Same as above.

I also found this. It's 2:35, leaving 25 seconds of lobby silence. It's just an idea tbh, if you need an extra song to show the Predators some love as well.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): I've never done this before, but my guess is either download and turn these songs into .ogg files, or find .ogg files of them.

yeah.. something like this would be great... +1

Would also be nice for some change.

EDIT: I presume the music would have to be in .OGG or something like that.

[UnKuT]

I have no idea, I thought it was .midi xD, I'll edit it.

Apophis has replied to a same suggestion as this.

We are not changing the lobby music.

I like the current one just fine but if there are more added I think the first and last ones are the only good options, They are actiony and pump you up to play the other two are just ones that are tense and build suspence and thus dont fit the current idea of the lobby music. Just my 2 cents

Then keep it, what we want is just some variation every once in a while. Like if we could slap like 3 lobby songs into a rotation that'd be sweet, this way every time a round starts up it'll be a different song.

[coroneljones]

If we get a song rotation i would like to suggest some:
-We are one,by triarii
-Vode An

[HalfdeadKiller]

I would enjoy lobby music rotation

[Felkvir]

I would enjoy it too.



Also, who the fuck would deny something like this? "We're not changing the lobby music" yeah right, pfft. Another reasonable suggestion here, i see no reason why we shouldn't try it.

[Infernus]

^ Same here

[LordLoko]

We can have random music rotation. It's not changing the music, it's just adding new.

What's the problem? Copyrighting? Don't older music become free-use after some time?

[UnKuT]

I never said to remove the Warrior Song, I just thought we should add more and have music rotation.

[Surrealistik]

We should have been using the superior version of the Warrior Song since the transition to Alpha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y-m0wQ66bc

[apophis775]

Because that's the Marine song and I was in the Army. I own the server, so that would literally be heresy worthy of me being purged.

[UnKuT]

Well, adding more musics doesn't mean you need to remove the marine song.

[block1]

-1I think the song should remain forever, it fits the server perfectly. Also the Warrior song is for all of the Armed Forces, not just the marines.

It's not about removing it, it's about adding new ones.

You were saying?

[UnKuT]

Damn it people please read the suggestion before you give your two cents. I want The Warrior Song to stay as a lobby music, I just want more musics added for some variety.

Amen, I don't see a reason to deny this, It's just add some musics to the rotation, I don't see why not.

[RED119]

+1, I think a rotation of music would be great as you had suggested

[MrGabol100]

I'm so fucking tired of the marine song, +1, We need a damned rotation for the sake of our ears, we can have the 2 versions of the marine song floating on the song pool.

[Desolane900]

New lobby music!? Are you insayan!?
