I have an idea, and someone else must have though about it before now, but whatever. how bout...

-The warthogs should have radios. GTAIII style. After all, its earth we are on now. Surely ther'd be radio stations in the future.

-The speakers on the warthog should be loud enough to be heard from a good many yards away, Battlefield Vietnam style (in that game you can play oldschool rock over the loudspeakers, and other players hear it as you drive by or fly over)

-and if at all possible it would be a nice feature to be able to play music that you have on your xbox.

(just image rolling into battle listening to steppenwolf or German death metal..)




note: this i most definatley NOT a petition

i think theo nly way u could play ur own music is if before the game everyone loaded ur music data this would take forever unless it only let you choose 1 or 2 songs or if ur songs were not heard by other people i just hope halo 2 has an overall good multiplayer soundtrack like unreal 2004 that song is awesome sound track wise

Well, you might could stream the music, that might cause momentary lag, but like internet radio staitons, once the link is buffered, the music is continuos.

and besides, if they would make built-in stations,then everyone would already have the music.

This is only a good idea if CAN'T play music off your hard drive. It would be best if was music from the game for lag and sanity purposes ( I know i would go crazy if i had to listen to some crappy band while i was playing Halo 2).

A warthog made out of cheez wiz would make me s h i t myself! That stuff is gross!

"Help Help I'm being repressed! Come and see the Violence inherent in the system!"
"Bloody peasant!"
"Oh did you see that? you saw him repress me?"

Surely its easy to get it to play from your hard drive as Games like Counter Strike does. I want to be able to play my own music as i personnaly hate rock <people start screaming> coz my older bro has been keeping me awak for nearly 6 years every night with guitars! its my stand against rock, which in itself stands against "the Man"!

Why not have it so everyones music is different. when you get in a hog it plays what evers on your hard-drive (if you change your custom soundtrack settings in your profile). So theres no lag and not steaming. If you have no tracks just listen to some cool music by marty instead?

It's a good thought, but someone would end up turning volume up high on their TV because thier "song" is playing and it would go through the communicator, and other people playing would get screwed over by having to listen to something they don't want to listen to

Well actually I think you dont understand my original idea. have you ever heard of battlefied 1942? they made a sequal battlefield nam. I saw a review on X-Play, and it mentioned being able to play music over the loud speakers.

and that's what i am talking about. Actualy being able to hear someone listening to the radio that drives by.

yeah it would be neat to play your own music, and actually ash55, you had a good idea having a "private colelction" station that would play only to you for you local xbox songs.

It would be best to have it like Grand Theft Auto 3, where there's liek 10 stations or whatever, each one is a different kind of music.

personally Andz Jones, I wouldnt mind rolling around blaring out Mozart or some liek symphonic peice like you would hear in a movie. Rap would be interesting.. lol ruogh riders... or a halo music channel, where it plays the cinematic music fomr halo 1&2... that would go under the orchestra music secion i guess...

No-one would do that though....

Also theres something on live called player mute.

how about each person gets to pick one song from their arsenal of songs(pre-selected before the game) and everyone loads their own song into the game and the warthogs blare the music. there would be like 5+ halo preselected channels but there would be ONE big user channel where it cycles through the user songs one by one so everyone gets their song...and there would be limits on song length..nothing over 4 and a half mins or somehting..so everyone gets a chance..

Nah.. i'm really not beginning to like public music from the xbox hard drive. I think it'd be much safer and better on being able to blare it out privately.

I think we could trust Bungie to make some good music judgments.. or jsut get a bunch of unliscened music.. like no real songs.. no metallica.. no ice T.. (maybe some stuff that's public domain.. i.e. classical..) but nothing new from pop culture, but still nothing that is just crap...

an 80's music channel would be bad... lol

well on second thought MAYBE some new pop culture stuff... but i'm sure Bungie would have royalty issues.. who knows i just wanna be able to crank that sucker up loud.
