Hold on.

I hate to break it to you guys, but canonically, twangy country or bluegrass-type music is by far the most common music.

Fine then how about in cockpit radio so we can all have what we want!!!!

The game could benefit from an in-game custom music application. Give us the option to import whatever tunes we have on our hard drive, and let us handle selecting, pausing, or skipping tracks with a little screen built into the cockpit. This makes it more immersive, and we don't have to alt-tab each time we want to adjust something. It might be a bit late to request this, though.

I definitely wouldn't mind hearing something like the Terran music:



That is an excellent combination of country, rock, metal, and even synthetic sound. Truly a classic track.

First of all Orzom... Terran theme in SC 1 is 10 time superior to SC2.

Finally, PGI needs to be careful about the music they choose. A good soundtrack can greatly enhance a game (Ex.: Hotline Miami) while a bad one leaves a bad taste in your mouth (read: SC2 terran Theme ).

The first thing they need to do is to get rid of the generic soft/heavy track they use for their advertising...

[Dagnome]

This may not MW official music but its what I listen to when im playing... so I guess it counts right?

[MechZ1lla]

I must be odd. I don't listen to music while playing-I like to be able to HEAR that Jenner trying to sneak up on me...

[Dagnome]

I don't need to hear them I use my super awesome super secret founder special magic. Did you unlock it from the User.CFG file yet?

[MechZ1lla]

Oh yes. But my Nvidia Dawn "bobble" head nerfed it.

That's cause the Dawn is OP.

I really hope they take a queue from Hans Zimmer's work on Transformers or Ramin Djawadi and Zimmer's work with Iron Man. They nail the grand, orchestral, yet still robotic, heavy industrial feel that this game similarly requires. Add a bit more of an electronic flair to it, and it would be the perfect MW:O music in my opinion. For example, good starting points:

Spice it with some electronic, and you're golden

The music in MW2 and MW2 Mercs was CRAP! Seriously go listen to it now, electronic twinkly nonsense mixed in with some tribal rubbish for good artistic measure. If you're going to score a game or film with giant freaking robots in it, you better leave the moogs and tom-toms at home. You want a DECENT soundtrack to a game? Try the Descent 2 soundtrack. Utterly boss.

For everything else, there's ACDC.

[RedSail]

is there a file we can put music so it will play in-game?

Because a bunch of 2 minute electronic tribal twinkle tracks on repeat is totally awesome! Those synthesizers sure sound great! How many voices did they have back then? One? One and a half? I'm surprised there aren't helicopter or gunshot sounds featured all the way from sound bank 99! Here's a track from the Descent 2 soundtrack, listen to it and understand how to score an atmospheric game.



Here's another, observe how the track actually has, like, progression in it.

How About the Classic one, would suit great after a match when you check your Scores

[Mind Knives]

I took the time to make a playlist of old mechwarrior game songs that I listen to while playing mechwarrior online. 21 songs 2 hours.
