Music in the vehicles?

Random Ping · 07-19-2005, 07:15 AM

Looking at the mods page reminded me of the music feature in BFV that allowed you to play your own music ingame in the vehicles. Now I never got that to actually work in BFV, but I wanted to know if this is also a feature in BF2 or did DICE just throw out the whole idea? No one has really talked about this in BF2 yet, so that is why I ask.

From the BFNation Preview:

Quote:

Fans of EA's previous release, Battlefield Vietnam, will remember that one of the many new features it introduced was the jukebox. Pre-loaded with 16 tunes from the Vietnam-era, it really added to the overall atmosphere of the game and provided some great songs to ride into battle to. So it was with some sadness that I discovered Battlefield 2 doesn't appear to contain this feature.

[...] In addition, there appeared to be no playlist or custom music function included in the version I played, another feature that was included in Battlefield Vietnam. That said, it's entirely possible that these will be built into a later version, or that modders will be able to create their own. Only time will tell.

It was one of those cool but dumb features, mainly because it became a n00b-alert tool. Pretty much everyone discovered within 10 minutes of starting that having music blaring from your vehicle made it pretty easy for the enemy to tell you were coming.

From not long after it came out I almost never heard the music playing unless you got a newbie on the server.

Haha, so true. If you got in a helicopter with another guy piloting, the second he started blasting ride of the valkyries it was obvious you were both gonna die.

The in-vehicle music was another item on the very long list of reasons BFV should have never been made.

I would still blast the music if it was a feature in game. Dun-dun de-dun dun.

Ah, feed your head.

You guys get too intense on the serious side of things, just light up, jump in a jeep, blast your music and shoot to kill. PLSD.

Wait...other people could hear it? Okay, that changes somethings.

NO!!!! i don't want some retard blasting britney spears's music next to me.

I think it's a cool feature, I can get some serious killin with the right music on the turntable for CSS, imagine what could happen in BF2..

It would be funny to blast that song from the video of the people using the (knife/revive) thing. But it would be all the more embarassing when you got killed with that music on.

The Deus Ex battery park combat music would sound just right when you are rushing to a base with your guns blazing in a humvee or in a helicopter as you circle a ground target while taking fire IMO.
