Rules For Music
 

Just wondering if there are any rules for listening to music during CQB play, only one ear, so i can hear other things(REFS, Players).

Thinking of putting some Slayer, disturbed, motorhead, stuff like that on my old mini iPod, to "pump" me up i guess.

So is there some un-spoken rule about music?


I know when I ride in a motorcycle group, some are really aginst music in the ear, some are cool with it.

Thanks

Music is a huge distraction. You need 100% of your wits about you, not fumbling with your i-Pod and taking 80% of your concentration and listening skills away by listening to music.

I'm sure each venue will have their own rules about this, but at any rate, not a smart thing to do.

Cool!! You ride motorcycles too?
Damn it, I'm going to create a thread for bikers so we can ride around Spring.

Do whatever you want, just dont let it distract you or others around you.

Has Anyone Tryed it?

I remember one time there was music on during a game at TTAC for a CQB lights out skrimish, with music it masked the players footsteps so it was hard to tell whats going to happen next, it all depended on your reflexes and if you had a flashlight.

But other than that music in games is definitely a distraction you can try it at Defcon and you will notice right away that it can be quite distracting

seriously no, you need your hearing
unless you don't care getting owned.

I've never seen any rules about music. However, if it's loud enough to distract other people, it'll likely lead to the host intervening.

If you need music to psych you up, though, you're better off playing FPS. Try to remember that Iron Eagle was just a movie, and music doesn't make you a better fighter. ;)

Never Heard of iron eagle. but it would be just in MY ear, no one else would hear

I don't see a problem with it, although I think it'll be a real hindrance for you.

Sure do it... I also suggest a patch over one eye. and a hand tied behind your back.

HAhahaahha. oh man.

He might need a montage too....

That.

Look at movies, the soldiers with his iPod is always the first one to die:rolleyes:

Not to mention
 

that many hits can only be perceived by sound ... so you are setting yourself up to be labled a cheater because you will miss hits you should take.

that's when you switch to good 'ole full auto and ensure that they've "heard" you lol
