Make some and upload them! No doubt someone will use them in their maps if they're good enough. :)
YO guys anyone know where i could listen to some ns2 music? I'd like to know the direction they went with it.. so if i make a track its not completely different from what they have
Here's something I came up with for an NS2 Hive theme.. at the moment its not much.. but I have nothing to go on.. does anyone know if the mood fits?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Sounds nice! I like it, though I am not sure if it would tie in with NS2's darkish atmosphere.
I always envisioned NS2 with the music similar to Aliens when Ripley is driving the APC haha. Dramatic heavy and sudden DUN DUN dudud DUN.
Try for something a bit more dark and sinister >:D

I'm sorry no one actually replied to your question where you could listen to the music in NS2... I'm gonna go out on a limb here and upload the three tracks I got from extracting it from the game and make it available. If anyone have any objection on this just say and I'll remove it.

Music for NS2 made by <a href="http://david-john.com/" target="_blank">David John</a>.
Update: Added the missing and current menu-track. The previous one was the one given to us in a blog-post some time ago. "Untitled" track has yet to be given a name (can't see the name of the file in the program I use to extract the files).
So, in a sense your music is probably not industrial or gritty enough for the way NS2 is shaping up to sound like. It sounds tranquil, the beats are nice and in general it's a nice track, but NS2 material it ain't I'm afraid. I do encourage you to go for a darker mood, seems like you have talent so I think you should bolster up and try again with a bit more action-y sound next time :)

Yeah must have messed it up. I'll extract that track too. Updated the above reply with new links.
The music for NS2 is actually very good, I've been wondering who's made it because that person deserves a hand of applause. ;)
@VJTunes - That's actually quite good! I think it could fit well with NS2, it would just depend on the map/location I guess. Dark and gritty is fine for some (most) maps, but I think variation in maps and music is a good thing. Personally I wouldn't want to constantly listen to music that makes my heart pound. Perhaps there can be an elevator somewhere playing the song. :P

No prob thanks a bunch for the tracks gonna take a listen and see what I can come up with.

On the topic of ns2 music I'd just like to say that I love the latest main menu theme, it seems much more fitting than Tarnished. Maybe it's because of the main melody being a few simple notes and as such more instantly memorable, like I'm used to my videogame themes being.
I'm getting a lot of different vibes from the official tracks. I'm hearing Half-Life 2, Battlestar Galactica, Resident Evil... even a bit of Tenchu. Love it all!

Also I was wondering if NS 2 maybe had audio triggers? Like.. If a marine were to be bitten.. does it trigger some "horrific" music or something? Or if a marine starts approaching areas with Infestation on the walls does it trigger ambient *eary* music to turn on ?
<b>Marines:</b> General Ideas - During gameplay no music is played initially, but instead is triggered by the environment or other team. - 3 Levels of Music: Ambient(dependent on environment location, Triggered by attacking kharaa structures, or is triggered automatically if music has been Idle long enough.) Creepy(Triggered by Kharaa taunts, infestation on walls, entering a Hive location, or entering a location with 3 or more kharaa present.) Terror:(Triggered by being attacked by a kharaa;Skulk Parasite doesn't trigger music)
Once audio is triggered it plays and molds/fades down until nothing is played. If Terror music is triggered it molds down to creepy then dissipates..

I tried to keep it feeling organic/mysterious/powerful because to me everything about the kharaa shows those traits ....
