IMO music can add a lot to a game but even in short games good songs can end up seemng very repititive. In a game that will played potentially hundreds of hours almost everybody would get sick of songs even if they were great and didn't interfere with hearing important battle sounds.

Though it would be kind of funny to give the factions musical distinctions, maybe like;

TR=Industrial
NC=Punk, Grunge
VS=Trance

with some weird ambient soundscapes for Vanu ruins.

Music can ONLY create an involving atmosphere in single player. This is because the game can start and stop different music at certain and appropriate times, to get you scared etc.

I remember in Resident Evil (3?) whenever this big evil guy came, some scary music was played just before. Then later on the music played again, you were all ready to fight him, and he didn't turn up =]

But in multiplayer games, this kind of co-ordination can't happen. It's not feasible. I prefer to turn off all music when I play, because in real life there is no music in a war and like others have said, you can hear people's footsteps easier =]

There's also the fact that I'll be using a voice program in PS, so music might interfere with this.

I think there should be music in PS, but you should be able to disable it and/or replace the MP3's

I'm with Hamm & afex....


you NEED to hear those quiet sounds, back when i used to do LAN parties i'd OWN people playing music because they hear their Heavy metal, and dont hear my footsteps RUNNING up behind them, and shooting em through the back of the head with the rail gun...

In games like EQ/AO/DAoC it's fine, it keeps you more entertained from downtime.. but in a FPS... you hearing music = you not hearing the snipers last 3 failed sniper attacks

I'm going to have to go with hamma and afex with this also. Your attention goes down when listining to music, and you miss things like footsteps. Although music does get you pumped up and might get you into the game more, it hinders your actual playing ability.

Yeah, put me in the hamma category.

I'd prefer to be able to place/replace mp3's in game directories AND have an in-game ability to kill the music at my discretion.

Sniping, on foot, etc... need silence. Driving a quad across a continent? Turn up the Chemlab.

ya the people who play music when they play get slottered but thats only if they blast it and who says the music has to loud. it would be sweet if they had as many songs as GTA:vice city which is one if not the best game of all time!!!!!!!

then the music wouldnt be repeditive.

Most shooters don't have music in it. I think music would probably be added in shops or whatever areas where there'll be no fightingbut I haven't seen any FPS games with music while fighting. It would be distracting.

goldeneye set the standard and is still a sweet multiplayer game.

goldeneye is still better than some other FPS's out there.
