music no, since all my music comes from my computer. Sometimes I will have the TV going and maybe paying half attention to it. Normally I am just playing the game.

I usually don't have anything playing or on in the background. I mean, when you suck like me, you need all the concentration you can get.

You need to be listening to the sounds of game not the TV.
There are so many sounds in the game that alert you to what’s going on.
Ladders, doors, someone priming a grenade or whatever.
I pity the fool who doesn’t take advantage of the sounds.

Gotta use sound. That's one of the biggest advantages of the game, hearing the enemy reloading their rifle, footsteps behind you, etc. Keeps ya on your toes.

The only time I ever have the TV on while im playing is if a game is on, that way i can occasionally keep tabs on the score, highlights, and the like.

I usually have a TV in the background. I can still hear everything, though...

I always put music in the background from Window Media Player but I put the sound at 15-20%.

I listen to the game, helps to know where to avoid rines when gorging... but I normally will be listening to music off of my laptop while I play, unless I am being really serious, cuz normally the sound is low anyways for my music. But definitely listen to music and play combat on a 50+lvl server (has extra upgrades) and 60 min timer... pure fun completely not serious nice break

whats this derek u spamming my spam post, ill beat u tomorrow when u get back from school, or ill just have shaun awp u more


as for that post about the sound like reloading and doors, yeah i know that they are useful but i really dont want to concentrate on a game that much unless i have to or if i need to get revenge on someone, i think the only times i have really had no background music or tv on is when vtec has hax me like 5 times in a row and i need to destroy him, that and all the nd practices
