Title: In game music?
Post by: Saurdaukar on April 02, 2002, 06:20:24 PM

Was playing a game of Day of Defeat the other night, having a blast - (Search for "Mayberry" servers - best "Adult, non-cheating" servers out there) - when I noticed a little something that added a sence of immersion and "country pride" - the German/American music played when one side or the other wins a game.  Just a thought, but how many people would like to see some sort of "Bishop National Anthem" (or those "other" countries) when the war is won?  Im sure it would take a certain amount of expertise to write a song for each country with some patriotic flair to it, but it would only increase the idea of a "job well done" IMO.  Thoughts?

Bishop National Anthem- "Saturday Nights Alright for Fightin" or perhaps "We are the Champions".

Ditto Bishops: We are the Champions"
Knights: "Grandma got run over by a reindeer"
Rooks: "Achy Breaky Heart"

OR

Bishops: "Fanfare for the Common Man"
Knights: Sound of a face being hit with a wet fish
Rooks: A kind of runny diarrhea sound

Not quite the line of thought I figured the thread would take, but either way - I have my favorites as well  :-)

Bishits:  Another One Bites the Dust (Queen)
Kniggits:  Shot Down in Flames (AC/DC)
Pretty Boy Rooks:  Never win, so it doesnt matter.  :P

How about, while the server resets, along with some great patriotic music, you'd also get some sort of news reel type thing of the victorious army marching into the enemy capital and a tearing down of the defeated flag and the raiseing of the victorious countries flag.... Not to mention pictures of bish stealing off with the defeated sheep.

LOL.  That's only if the Knights and Rooks left any sheep behind. . .Scorched earth!  Deny the enemy their comfort!

Here's an Idea....when a country wins have all the winning country's names of the players scroll up and down the screen of the losers......for a few min til reset......

1) it would make Bish and Knights proud!

2) It would show me who to target for the next round seeing that I have never won a reset with Rooks.....LOL....

Hey I keep trying.....LOL
