Can't see the poll, but it's rather jarring for the sounds to change so late, but that I could live with. The real thing is that none of the other sounds are re-dubbed, which makes it jarring, and the sounds sometimes were out of sync. The thing I really didn't like was the poison headcrab sound.

I really hate to bump/double post, but I'd like some comments/criticism if anyone has them.

I can't do more than two, because past my top two all the other games are just so close in quality and I love them for so many different reasons. 1. Bungie's Marathon. 2. Bungie's Halo. Do I sound like a fanboy? Maybe. They're both games I really enjoy nonetheless, and they're easily my two most-played games of all time.

If I had a PC version lying around, I'd send one your way, but I only have a Mac version (which I'm holding on to for myself >_>). Sorry.

He's overrated, but he's not bad. I like select pieces of his ("Why So Serious?" and the beginning of "Davy Jones") but he's extremely repetitive. I heard a piece in Modern Warfare 2 that sounded very much like a Pirates of the Caribbean piece, and in the Dark Knight's soundtrack, nearly every track is just a mashup of another. I can't quote song names, but I have four songs from the Dark Knight, and they all have something in common with one another.

WWII games, maybe, but Call of Duty is the biggest game on the Xbox right now; people love their pseudo-realistic games.

I feel that the franchise peaked at Call of Duty 4. Yeah, I know, I'll sound like a purist and a rose-tinted glasses-wearing snob, but I've been playing since Call of Duty 1 and I honestly think Call of Duty 4 was the best game in the series. Good story, good gameplay, new, addicting multiplayer. I liked the story because it seemed mildly plausible, and it was just cool. Then World at War came out, and I don't really acknowledge the Treyarch games. Not even zombies; I'd much rather play Halo's Firefight (and yes, I am a rabid Halo fanboy but I've played my share of Call of Duty as well). Whatever. Modern Warfare 2. ehggggggg It was buggy. It was unbalanced. There were perks and combinations in there that were flat-out idiotic. The only things that got patched were the outright exploits. That game had solid gameplay like Call of Duty 4, but it was just buried under dumb, terrible things (commando, one man army, Danger Close, etc.). The story was implausible and just dumb and I honestly think Hans Zimmer is overrated, so the music didn't really do anything for me either. Still, it had base addicting gameplay, so while I couldn't stop playing, I was raging the whole time. I've played Black Ops. I own it. Wager Matches are kind of fun, but the gameplay is just stale now. If they hadn't stuck to this two-developer game-per-year idea, maybe the games would've turned out better. I couldn't even finish the story; I just got bored. Short story: I love Call of Duty at its high points and hate it more than anything else at its low points. Edit: As for the attention it gets, it's just the "in game" as of now. It's dominating the market; it's finally wrested that title from Halo (as far as console games are concerned, obviously). While Call of Duty's decently fun, it's just not something I can see lasting as long as Halo. I have a feeling people are gonna get burned out much quicker than they were on Halo, because I feel Halo kept it simpler and better.

I have too much to rave about Halo to put here, so I'll just go yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Also: They can't expand the armory via DLC. Oh well; not that big of a deal to me.

Basically, every time Freeman gets ambushed by a group of Headcrabs. "ALRIGHT KIDS, CLASS IS IN SESSION! EVERYONE TAKE YOUR SEATS! TAKE YOUR SEATS! DAMN IT BILLY, THAT MEANS YOU, TOO!" Edit: D'awww, WiseGorm beat me.

Ares was a really fun arcade space RTS/action game for the Mac back in the late 90's/early 2000's. I've loved the game and its music since I first played it in the first grade, so to anyone interested, I'll be posting the originals and my remakes here. I've only done a song and two-thirds, but I'm hoping to do the entire soundtrack, eventually. Note: Each song was made in Garageband, and with the exception of the drums in "Targetron," were made completely by hand (meaning I played out each note/section of notes on my computer's keyboard and then edited it/them to my satisfaction). ---------------- My first remake: Targetron (ORIGINAL) (REMAKE) I'm really proud of Targetron. It was my first remake of a song from the Ares soundtrack, and the first version came together in about an hour. With a couple more hours of fine tuning, the song is something I'm fully satisfied with, hence "Final." ---------------- Second remake: Ares Theme (Doomtroopers, Unite!) INCOMPLETE (ORIGINAL) (REMAKE) Despite how proud I am of Targetron, I'm much more proud of Doomtroopers, and it's not even done yet. The insertion of the drums was easily the hardest part, taking up about half of the time I've spent on it. The arpeggiated chords that play under the melody were also extremely tedious to create, but I'm very proud of them. I'll probably be done with this song very soon.
