In Game Radio Stations!

Would be fantastic if there was a way to tune your mozzie/prowler radio into an in game station playing music like APB did.

Yeah that would be interesting

, especially if some of those radio stations could be run by different factions, each one doing its best at making one.

Most big MMO's get a radio station, anyone planning one for PS2?

I can see that hurting Terran Republic Membership. All soldiers are required to tune into Regimented Radio at all times. *Hey Listeners, we got another special request from our beloved leader. That's right, it's time once again for that hit single "You can Break my Heart Baby, but Deserters will be Shot".

Why not partner with Pandora or Tune-in and stream music straight through the in-vehicle radio? Would also be awesome if people in your vehicle could hear the music too.

Could also let people near the vehicle hear it too. Imagine pulling up to your local sunderer for a pit stop and hearing something playing over the radio. Now that would be awesome.

Yeah, propaganda would be hilarious. Forget Tokyo Rose, we've got Tokyo Terran. (No offense to the Japanese).

Yeah, I think a Tokyo Rose would add alot of color to the game.

Starship troopers music for TR in PS1 was the way to go for those big fights.

That's what I was thinking on the streams. Tr will of course have the best music.

My outfit plans to start one for the NC on our server once we can iron out everything that will be needed to make it work.

I can detect massive Lore-related arguments and drama being created by this.
Also, do you REALLY want to hear what some people play? I've heard way too much garbage just coming through people's headsets.

Waitill they pipe in hemmorhoid commercials.

With intermittent propaganda messages, like the commercials Fallout 3 had between songs.

Indeed.

I think Fallout's use of the radio was the best, although part of that was because it adapted to what you did as well. If you can get the game to talk about "outbreaks of fighting in [insert hex here]" or the "tragic loss of TR's base to terrorist scum" etc. in a way that actually represents player action... that would be awesome.

I also think it shouldn't be limited to vehicles. I mean, you've got a comm system in your helmet already...

EDIT: Also, the Radio could be an interesting way to announce special events by having the organizers cut into the regularly scheduled broadcasts with in-character announcements or something similar.

No, we'll just play the entire extended 2-CD soundtrack from Starship Troopers over and over and over again. :P Oh, and 'Klendathu Drop' during big Gal drops.
