The topic title is confusing though. Shouldn't it be: [DL] Broodwar Soundpack for SC2

AWESOME!!

I was really really hoping somebody would make this! The SC1 sounds were unique and extremely helpful for conveying information in the game, and the SC2 sounds don't even come close. The old sounds not only sound better but they must be a competitive advantage..

Really nice job. But I think I will return to the sc2 sounds, not because I don't like the old ones.. I totally love them, but rather face that we have to not let nostalgia eat us alive.

I have to words to describe my gratitude.
Thanks so much, the original sounds are so immensely superior.

The siege tank actually sounds intimidating now. In SC2, a bunch of siege tanks can siege and I'll just think meh. In BW, when tanks siege, I go "OH SHIIII" and watch my expos get destroyed... lol

Thanks!!!!

New version: Major update includes many replaced death screams (however I cannot choose how it gets picked, and the game seems to randomly choose the generic explosion sounds often instead), as well as some other updates and removal of music that the new patch already added

OMG I love you so much. I just played 1 game with your old ClassicBW sounds and loved it, and here i come, refresh the page and a new version is out =D! Mad kudos to you, thanks!

Btw, i have 2 questions: When we go retail with the game, might I get banned for changing the sounds of the game to this? Same question but with changing hotkeys.

Just did my placements with this installed. 10/10, worked flawlessly.

If you add the oldschool "Somebody called for an exterminator" whenever i build a ghost. I will honestly consider getting out the credit card and ordering pizza delivered to your door.

Nice effort but this just sounded weird for me, I guess I have gotten used to the new sounds. Maybe I will take one or two though..

The marine death sound from SC1 sounds out of place after somewhat 50 games of SC2 sounds, I'm not saying the current SC2 death sounds are fine, but they definitely need to correlate with the rest of the "feel" that is SC2.

That said, the siege tank sound fits perfectly from SC1, along with some others, the zerg advisor and hydras and mutas.

Blizzard should either overhaul the entire sound system entirely, or at least buff the current sc2 sounds to match the impact of the SC1 sounds.

good stuff bro, keep it up
