I'll leave the details very vague in order to not get in trouble with the Alpha NDA, but some of you Alpha testers might remember a thread during alpha 2 about cockpit sounds. I'd like to start some brainstorming on ideas that might be usable for Hawken. However, I want to set a few ground rules so we avoid trouble down the road.
1. By sharing any ideas in this thread, you are effectively giving Adhesive Games and Meteor Entertainment unrestricted permission to use it in Hawken without any compensation or recognition to you. This is important. In order to avoid any legal problems, you should just assume that if you mention it here, Adhesive might use it and they have no obligation to pay you or credit you in the game for it.
I know at least a couple people in the test group are developers on other titles, and it's possible that some of you might go on to become game developers. Even if the forum/beta terms of service actually could be construed by lawyers to say otherwise, you should assume that any ideas being suggested in this thread are freely available to Adhesive automatically. If you have a really good idea and you might use it for your own game, keep it to yourself, it'll make everyone's life easier.
2. There are no bad ideas. There are only off-topic ones or people who aren't taking this seriously. Ignore them instead of starting trouble. Please keep your comments positive and constructive. If you don't like an idea, suggest your own instead.
3. The devs are not required to use any of this at all. I'm just trying to harness the power of the Hawken closed beta forum hivemind to find some really cool stuff that could make the game better.

Alternatively, there could be cosmetic sound packs for the cockpit ambiance, since visual cosmetics are already a Meteor points item planned for use.

I like the idea for the sound to break up once you've taken damage so long as it is clear what is being said still. As an effect and not a hindrance to the game play. I think it would be another great detail if implemented properly.

I suggest either the option for BGM or a (maybe unlockable) cockpit radio that lets me play "Ride of the Valkyries" while I charge guns blazing into battle.
Also, it makes sense that a damaged mech would have some of it's electronic disturbed so I like the idea of sound breaking up.

edit: oh, oh! and then when you use voice chat, people kinda hear what's playing in your cockpit, but not too much. That would be awsome for immersion.
