In Response To: Re: Where is the Music (Twelve Motion)

I read Bungie's explanation of this a long while back. In typical Bungie fashion, they responded that they couldn't think of a reason why Leela (or Durandal?) was broadcasting the music of Alexander Seropian over the Marathon's loudspeakers throughout the invasion. It's a joke that sheds some light on their motivations behind the lack of music. It's all about destroying the barrier between the player of the game and character this player plays. In Marathon, you, the real live human being sitting at a computer get to bob (Bob?) your head and tap your feet to the tunes, but do you really think that the Marine heard that music all the way through? Of course not. The lack of music in Marathon 2 and Infinity broke down a barrier between player and character. If you heard it through your speakers, you know that He heard it through his ears. Marathon broke a lot of ground in this way, not just in sound design, but that's another thread and another day.
