    Yeah, sounds were kinda neat for most stuff. I didn't quite like the death sounds, they had this radio like quality to them, which is weird when they are dying right next to you. I would like them for the commander though, it plays one of those sounds whenever one of your unit dies. One of them also had a bit of a delay I think, can't remember which one though.

    Vehicle mg sounds was kinda neat, but I don't think it should work for all of the mgs. It also kinda clipped here and there when firing in small bursts.

    Most everything else was working, except world sounds for the shotguns were messed up still.

    I like new canyon. Was disappointed about it not being covered in grass like in one of silks screenshots though.:(

    You can do it 2 ways.

    The mine way like lordz does it and then it slide over the ground with rpg faced downwards or you can do it the other way shoot almost perpendicular to the ground but like 1-5 degrees up and it'll fire at the ground some bug happens itll change direction about 45-50 degrees making it diagonal and go really slowly. If you really try and have a hill infront of you you can catch the rpg. Youzy was super pro at this shit.

    Oh I wanted to ask, where is the main menu music? The old one I mean, I can't find it. Also what why was it changed? And slightly unrelated, how come I never hear those really cool tracks in the music/loading folder?

    It looks like a golf course, except all the shaded bits of grass are burnt and all the grass in the sun is pristine green. And it's sunny.

    The main menu music was changed? That sucks, it was awesome.

    Those really cool tracks should play when you join a server.

    Music vol up? They play for about two minutes then stop. I actually take the main menu music out of the Empires folder and put it on a loop if I want to get really immersed. It really is a great theme.

    I kinda just preferred the old BF1942 music, it felt more atmospheric. At some point we can always have a few different tracks and have it random/cycle which one plays on start though.

    why is there no foilage on the ground - what happend to silks awesome? did canyon always look this bland? i dont really remember the pre-depressing version ...

    also the 2nd screenshot shows a either a graphics bug or misaligned displacements.

    That's what made it good. It's like you don't even care about melodrama.

    Not every fight is going to happen in perfect conditions zzzzzz

    The grass textures definitely look much much better though.

    Just checked with Candles, the code that activates that hasn't been pushed yet.
