The XCOM 2 Soundtrack makes this game so much better. What music do you guys listen to?

[Geebung]

The one issue I've always had about this game is the soundtrack. Its just...nothing. Barely any melody, just a lot of synth and other...noise.

Just wanted to let some of you guys know that playing the XCOM 2 soundtrack sounds amazing when played over this game. I've got it on my Steam music library, but going onto Youtube and finding a playlist is just as good.

What other music do you guys listen to while playing Rainbow? Yeah, I know you should use your ears and stuff to listen for people, but still. Something needs to be there to fill in that lacking menu music and long wait times.

This is a sound-based game. Not really the best game to listen to music while playing.

That's what I mean. But I would prefer some better menu music. Ya know? Menus are a large part of this game.

Customizing weapons: menu
*Matchmaking*: menu
Team selection: menu

These all sound empty due to the lack of real music. I'd even say that the prep phase (ie droning) needs some form of quiet music.

Sound is important in this game, so why waste the opportunity in making music that caters to that importnace? CSGO is a sound based game too, and yet it manages to have pretty decent music.

I see what you mean now. I thought you meant to have it playing during rounds. I totally agree. Anthonypit1 uses some ambient music in some of his Siege videos and it fits extremely well and adds a lot of tension. Siege could absolutely benefit from a musical overhaul, and I dont just mean the intro melody that changes every season.

You're right on. The old R6 games had phenomenal scores.

In a similar way, overwatch does this too. There's music pre-round, then music during the last few seconds.

In a way, Rainbow does this in the last 10 seconds a match, and the ambient music that is played during overtime is absolutely perfect (really high intensity stuff). But there needs to be MORE.

I liked where they were going with velvet shell. Yeah it was your 'EDM/High Bass/Party' sorta stuff, but it was a twist on the 'Rainbow Six Siege' tune. But again, this is only one example, and it is not always throughout the game. This is what I'm dissapointed in Operation Health for: they got rid of the best menu music this game has had in its lifetime.

Another thought: R6 has a good idea of giving each map they make its own little theme, but its just...a bit bland. Too many drums, not enough actual melody. The only map that I know of that has some sort of a melody to it is House.

Another comparison to CSGO: in CS, there is a main menu theme, a theme for when the Counter Terrorists win, and one for when the Terrorists win. Why not use something similar for the defenders/attackers in R6?

It just feels like a bit of a missed opportunity from a musical perspective.
