...if you do?
 
For the greater portion of my Hawken career, I haven't been playing with any music in the background and, to be blunt, been doing better. But ever since I have been playing music, I've been enjoying playing more.
 
So, what songs do you listen to while playing Hawken?
 
I'm intrigued to hear what other people listen to while playing Hawken. Personally, I've got a large variety of songs that normally cycle through with me playing. Recently, I've been reduced to three song with my best being "The Nights" by Avicii:


 
It was a radio song that I liked and instantly got. :D I'm honestly really surprised I can hear anything mid-game whilst this is playing. xD
 
So what's yours?
 
 

Edit: Wow, it's amazing to see such a variety of music that people play the game!

(Also, I'm not sure if this should be put under the "Off-Topic" section because, technically, it's still about Hawken.)

In-game music only, and turned down low. Anything else is too distracting.

I don't listen to music. I think it would strain my bandwidth and cause lagging issues.
I'm not using that rich people high end gaming rigs.

But...if I were to listen to music...
THIS would be so...perfect for a fast mech. Like a scout. Or a raider. Or a Bezerker. In my opinion.

It's also good for making people confused.

I listen to the sounds of my enemies being crushed as I drive them before me, and the lamentations of their women.

 

IMO, I don't have music playing as it would drown out the sounds of a cloaked inf or pred trying to be sneaky. :tongue:

 

And yes, I have detected an enemy by the sound of their footsteps or a charging HEAT cannon. :smile:

This really should be me.

 

Hearing footsteps seems to be something that is used against me when I'm in my Predator - especially in duels. Unfortunately, I'm barely ever in these situations. It also doesn't help that I blast songs into my head when I should really be concentrating - like currently when I'm doing computer work. xD

I have a 27" monitor I game on. Beside it is a 21" TV I watch all day as I game. Computer goes on when I get up. TV goes on when I get up. Computer goes off when I sleep. TV goes off when I sleep. Easy to remember. :) I like to be visually entertained. :D Now volume wise, my computer has a Altec Lansing 3 piece sound system w/sub at about half volume. I like to hear what is happening and I don't hear most high frequency sound anyhow. TV has a Boston Acoustics 3 piece sound set w/sub at about 1/4 volume. So I can hear it but the computer is far louder. :) And yes I listen to music sometimes. I love any music that has talent. From Igor Stravinsky's Firebird Suite to Fall Out Boys Centuries to Rob Zombie House of a Thousand Corpses to Marilyn Manson Deep Six to Mettalica Nothing Matters. I have a huge range of music I like. I am not your typical 61 yr old dude. LOL :D

 

When my son was a little boy (about 7 or 8) his favorite album was Yngwie Malmsteen Fire & Ice. When he wouldn't go to sleep I'd drive him around in the car which had a huge sound system I installed in it and play it for him. Usually once around the block and he was asleep. I'd carry him in a put him to bed. :D

Jpop! Fast paced sugared music is perfect when releasing fire on the battlefield (and being stomped, also). Only my railgun, fripSide.

 

And Jrock when I become angrier. Rock, Scissors, Paper, One OK Rock.

 

Just cannot play without music (hum, that would explain my lowish mmr).

The sounds of scraping, twisting metal, thrusters, and explosions. AKA No music.

I listen for the sound of either my baby boy or wife to start yelling.  Sometimes TS.  On Saturday mornings WPR plays Classics by request so I'll listen to that.

Come on Crafty, you have been officially called out on your lies. Your online reputation is at stake here, this is just like an old school street race running for pink slips. Its run what you brung and hope its enough. Put up or shut the fuzzy bunny up.

If you have Spotify, there is a playlist called "Night Rider" that is my typical Go To when I play.

I listen to trance or drum and bass since it makes good background music that doesn't distract much. Always low volume though.

Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

So many to choose from! I have more than a few playlists, but I'll just share two songs because I'm lazy.

I used to listen to music a lot while playing, but after I joined my Planetside 2 outfit and got trained in much more tactical and competitive settings, I actually don't like having music on. There's so many little audio cues inside games that help me locate enemies who are attempting to sneak up on me. Hard to hear footsteps of a cloaked predator or the jets of a cloaked infiltrator with music blasting.

I dont listen to music very often when I'm playing hawken, usually only on Co-Op missions, but when I do its usually rock or dubstep.

I remember an old post like this on the old forums but I'll post the songs I listen to when I'm using the SS, usually Armored Core music.
