MP3 Player

[Cyrusdexter 0]

First off, I know there are a few threads similar to this one, but they aren't very well written and my ideas are more in-depth and different, so-

I think you should be able to find MP3 players in cities. They would have to be a fairly rare spawn, and only in bigger cities (finding an MP3 player in a barn in the middle of nowhere seems kind of dumb). It would need batteries if they are implemented, like the flashlight. What these would do would be to completely block out the actual games audio including VOIP and maybe even the chat, instead playing custom music you put in a folder somewhere (maybe you can designate this folder by pressing a key to interact with the MP3 player, the same way you do with a map). This would be a disadvantage, because you wouldn't be able to hear zombies or other players, but I still think it could be kind of fun :) . Perhaps when you put on the player, earbuds should appear in your ears so that other players using VOIP would know why you aren't answering them.

Anyway, that's my suggestion, feel free to rip it to shreds or commend or whatever.

No offence but that would be pretty near the bottom of my list of ways to improve the game.

None taken, this is fairly low on my list too, this should be something added maybe near the end of beta when the game is being polished off, with all the miscellaneous fun little things being added, but all of my other ideas have already been posted so I figured why not.

i think this idea has some good points, after heading in land there is a lot of running between towns and stuff and i keep thinking some jogging music would be awsome, like eye of the tiger or somthung lolz.

ii was thinking of 2 ways to look at it,

1, would be an mp3 player with headphones, not earplugs but big bulky ones on the players head.

2, Wind up equipment, there is a lot of equipment that can be charged by wind up, Radios, Torchs and even mobile phones, also you could ad pedal powered Transmitter to talk to other players, this type of equipment when used could make you use your energy up when powering and only last a certain amount of time.

Other than this, your ideas are good. My reasoning to have earbuds is just how unlikely it is to find one of these with headphones. Very few people use headphones with their ipods/zunes/what have you, because they come with earbuds and earbuds are much smaller and easier to move around.

When picturing how it would look in game, i keep thinking of that kid from the Freestyler video clip, Big bulky headphones with a playstation controller in one hand, except his walking around cherno,
