I've been loving the NS2 Deluxe Edition soundtrack so far, but its always bugged me how UWE only uses the main menu theme and a 40 second snippet of Evolution in NS2 itself. Sure, hugh uses it extensively in his videos, but that's about it.
I think that we should all get to work on a soundtrack overhaul. Imagine hearing the bass-y part of the main menu theme while you're deep in alien territory, or hearing gorilla as you run into sub-sector just as the power go out. Or maybe the "heroic" part of Rush as you literally rush into a marine base. The coding is there - You hear a variant of Exosuit as you kill the hive. A mod that would add more instances - say 6 marines and 6 aliens in a single room would trigger a snippet of Main Menu - in my opinion wouldn't be that hard.
What do you think?
On a side note, I'm new to lua and have no NS2 modding experience.
