Music to Kill to

Post by **Surlethe** » 2005-08-20 09:09pm

When I'm playing HW2, I like the Bach cello suites; the solo cello seems to go well with the remote serenity of space, and it provides a wonderful contrast to the war action; it also tends to go with the slow pace of the game.

However, I've also found the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack appropriate, as well.

On most FPS', Wars "Why can't we be friends". I don't know why, but it makes me glad to kill.

America, Fuck Yeah! from Team America

Depends on the game...

"I Walk Alone" - Greenday: This is very good for games where I'm playing sniper or lone gunman.

"Come on Feel the Noise" - Quiet Riot: Good for pretty much any situation. It's nonspecific.

"The Imperial March" is good for raids involving basically... 20 or more people.

Whenever I play Star Wars Battlefront I put "Charging Fort Wagner" on repeat. Makes the game seem 100% more kickass.

"Klethendu Drop" for Rome: Total War and X-Com.

"More Human Than A Human" for Mario Kart

When im playing BF2 I just turn on my favourite rock station and start killing.
When its BF Vietnam, Ride of the Valkyries, Fortunate Son, or the best song for that game is Run through the jungle by ccr.

"Eva 00" and "The Beast" from Evangelion work well for particularly intense fights IMO.

Random tracks by DJ Adolf.

I find I quite enjoy Starcraft's in-game music, especially as Protoss. Maybe it's just me, though.

Turanic Raider and Taiidan theme Music from the Homeworld soundtrack.

I like to play some older Mortiis, back when they did Rennie music. Also, VNV Nation gets the blood going, and now, OCRemix - The Dark Side of Phobos has been thrown in the mix.

White Haven · Post by **White Haven** » 2005-08-24 11:28am

Heh. Not quite the same, but invariably when we drop a Molten Core boss or (especially) Onyxia, someone plays the Mortal Kombat theme over Vent. So perfect.

Curiously enough, I was watching Flash Gordon in the background whilst playing battle for middle earth. The pitched battle in the nebula cloud soundtrack would not seem like a natural thing to pair with a mumakil charge on a gondor city, but it worked fantastically and victory was assured. Not that BfME is that hard.

Right now, I am playing GTA:SA to the tune of Rub the Lantern by Melechesh. They are a little known Israeli black metal band whose music has a middle eastern flavor to it. Very Good.

Yeah that's what I mean. In my playlist it's listed as "I walk alone" for some reason, and I've gotten used to saying it.
