It's been said on here before, but this is hands down the best Star Wars mod ever made for any game. It has that authentic SW feel to it like every other title from Lucas Arts. Great job.

Whoa, Irc96...you're a hostile little gamer, aren't you?

So, you're saying that in a GAME based on a science fiction MOVIE, war is "just as terrible and as gritty as it is in real life".
So, do you think all of those stormtrooper actors really died filming the movie? Do you think those pixels in all of the Star Wars games will never come back to life? Now who has half a mind to think with?

I was offering what is called "constructive criticism". I love the song and love the mod, but I don't necessarily think the two go together. It was simply my opinion.

I have an opinion about you also, but I don't think it would be appropriate to share it here with everyone. Have a nice day.

Actually, Michael Andrews asked Gary Jules to record "Mad World" song for the soundtrack to Donnie Darko...Gary Jules didn't just record his version and then run around going "Look what I did!". If it weren't for the movie, this version would have never existed.

Sorry to chime in like this, but that music is SO wrong for a BF2142 Star Wars mod. It's depressing and makes you want to cry in your bed, not want to play a game. I'm an experienced sound designer that has worked on games, movies, etc., so I'm not just talking out of my ***. For a mod release, you need something explosive and exciting that energizes the people that are most likely to download it...and it doesn't matter if you changed scenes on the first measure of the song, it bears no relevance to the overall impact of the video. Just think if the new Indiana Jones movie came out with Radiohead's "No Surprises" playing in the commercial...epic fail.

To prove my point, the usage of the song was already an issue before I ever posted. Instead of people talking about the mod itself, there's a small controversy surrounding the song instead. That right there tells you that you made a mistake. It comes across as one the work of one of those kids on YouTube that like putting their favorite songs into gameplay videos that have no connection to the song itself. You want people ONLY talking about the mod, not your poor choice of background music. Don't get me wrong, the song is incredible and I loved it the first time I heard it in Donnie Darko...but it simply doesn't fit. I apologize if any of this offends you, but I'm speaking with 20 years of experience behind me and I'm just trying to offer some advice.

If you're interested, I'd be willing to write a track for the video if you ever entertain the idea of remaking it. Just let me know sometime and I can submit a few samples of different styles of music.

Other than that, the mod itself looks great. I can't wait to play it.
