Country Track Pack v.2 Discussion Thread - Official Information added in first post

[RMB]

I'm sure a million people have asked this, and I know I'll get a lot of flak for mentioning it, but stores online are listing the game to be released on February 1, 2011. I was just wondering when we'd actually hear about this next track pack.

P.S. - Here's to hoping none of the tracks have already appeared, or are really good ones (cough) "Fancy" and "Lookin' for a Good Time" (cough)

Discussion in this thread has drifted a bit off topic, but I wanted to chime in to respond to some of the questions raised on the first page. Sorry for the delay in responding, info is moving slower with many of our partners out for the holiday.

Country Track Pack Vol 2 is based on the RB1 engine, same as all previously released track packs.

This track pack will be exportable, and as with all past track packs the current plan is to release these songs as DLC at some point down the road.

These songs should have harmonies and Pro drums available upon export (but not when played off the track pack, as it is based on the RB1 engine).

At this time we do not have any plans to release RB3 Versions or further Pro upgrades for these songs when they are released as DLC.

Hopefully that clears up some of the confusion and reassures you that the track pack is still a worth while addition of awesome country tracks to your RB library.

Because it's a logical response. Heck, I was going to type it myself.

Let's do this instead. How about we discuss what we'd like to see in this game? This could include features, songs, etc... I'd like to not get people only commenting, "because" or "when it happens" or stuff along those lines. Thank you. I'll have a list of potential songs that I would love to see released with new features, as well as songs that I think should be updated to have the new features.

Given it's a track pack it will have no new features and if you want to discuss tracks then you posted in the wrong section.

New Country Track Pack?!?!

OH YEEEAHHH!!

I would like to see a track list.

[nascarfan19]

Well, HMX has definitely referenced it. They had a banner at E3 advertising a future production. Only problem is there has been no info released.

I'm expecting all songs from Country Pack 04 to be on there, hopefully the two remaining Alt-Country songs and the Carrie Underwood single will get on too

[Herr_Bass]

I'm hoping 21 new Country Songs with RB3 features and honky-tonk keyboardin'
