How many of you plan to have music switched on?

[barakas]

I never played RO1 with music on .

Immersion killing alone is enough for me to switch it on, but there's also a competitive advantage in MP to have it off.

Since Tripwire seem to have put more time and resources into music this time around, I'm wondering how many people are actually planning to have music on when they play?

Personally I'd rather them just spend the money on more animations or on sounds that actually represent in game things.

Though I guess if lots of people like having music on, its worth having the option there.

edit: I didn't make a poll in time, so just post your preference in the comments.

A poll would have been nice.

The mod never had music, the retail did but there wasn't very much and it wasn't very varied so it got a little boring after a while.

Given the work that has gone into it, and the fact it is dynamic and goes along with the game I will definitely be playing with it on...but possibly turned down a little so I can hear more around me.

If I do purchase RO2 I will probably turn off the music the first thing I do when I start the game. In more or less every game, interface music typically annoys me because it quickly gets repetetive, so for me to bother having leaving it on for even a short while, it would have to be something really good.

I'm usually so focused on the game that I don't even hear the music playing

The first thing I'll do is turn off the music.

Dude, that is not how it works.

After reading the forums for quite some time now, I think I have figured out how it works:

a) Always complain about stuff you haven't seen (heard) yet.
b) Make a poll: Feature X should be optional or removed.
c) Compare thing X to a niche++ game like Arma or even better: A random mod 12 people have played so far. Explain why it is so awesome. Comparing to COD or any other main stream game is optional but usually works well too.
d) Realism. Use the word. It is like magic. (Realism is trumped automatically by game play if your "side" has a
disadvantage, of course)

I always turn the music off for games - only music id like is if like someone won a round

 

[Forssen]

If the setting takes a very little time to change it will probably very. When I get tired of it I will probably return to http://keygenjukebox.com/ for my less focused playing sessions.

Would be nice if one of the F1-F12 buttons was used as turning it off and on by default.

I'll leave music on with an appropriate volume just to absorb the awesomeness that is Sam Hulick's music. :IS2:

 

[Tom Hanks]

Turning mine off.

 

[skittlesareyum47]

I'll prolly have it on. Btw you can edit in a poll.

 

[Mr_125]

I'm not loving the released samples, sorry to say. I'm more of a Bear McCreary guy for all my soundtrack needs.

That, and I usually turn off music for greater immersion when I'm playing stuff like Bad Company 2, Killing Floor/Ostfront. I'll listen to it the first time around, but if there are no hooks to it all, I'll have to just listen to the sounds of the battle.

 

[timur]

If the music plays the Soviet Anthem every time I cap a point, then I'm keeping it on

 

[mo0nbuggy1]

i turn music off on all games

 

[Flogger23m]

First thing I will do is turn off the music.

Not good for a multiplayer game, when sounds are important.

I don't like it for tactical/realistic games either as it kills the immersion.

 

[jalex3]

I will use music for singleplayer, I like music but I dont know if I will use it for multi since I want to hear the footsteps, But I will be testing it out before i just turn it off.

 

[Bobdog]

Now new and improved with a poll.

 

[Nordlander]

Sens ive played 846 hours on RO i must say i only play with music when am really tired to boost my awareness.

 

[Snuffeldjuret]

I will have music on in-game for a while until I get annoyed by it. Eventually I will also turn it off in the menus, although after a while I will turn it on there again. Then I will turn it on and off in and out of game every now and then so things feel less static =). For competitive play I will not have in-game music though ^^.

I miss "something in between" option in the poll .
