Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride
^ This title, I think, fits perfectly to battlemech warfare - the exchange of volleys and multiton walkers dashing about the fields of battle. Very recommendable for a start! Also, we all know that BattleTech loves the 80s.
Lately, I've been looking for more "faction-oriented" music, though. Since I intend to join the Draconis Combine, it'd have to be something that mixes traditional Japanese themes with contemporary "actiony" music. For starters, I dug up Red Alert 3:

Any other recommendations, possibly from other games or movie scores? What faction do you intend to join, and what are your personal music choices?

I think something like Disturbed Indestructable would be cool as a group soundtrack..... here's the lyrics.... sounds like a good message to me.
Another mission, the powers have called me away Another time to carry the colors again My motivation, an oath I’ve sworn to defend To win the honor of coming back home again
No explination will matter after we begin Unlock the dark destroyer that’s buried within My true vocation and now my unfortunate friend You will discover a war you’re unable to win
I’ll have you know That I’ve become
Indestructible determination that is incorruptible from the other saide, a terror to behold annihilation will be unavoidable
every broken enemy will know that their opponent had to be invincible take a look around while you’re alive I’m an indestructible master of war!
Another reason, another cause for me to fight Another fuse uncovered now for me to light My dedication to all that I’ve sworn to protect I carry out my orders without a regret
My declaration embedded deep under my skin A permanent reminder of how It began No hesitation when I am commanded to strike You need to know that you in for the fight of your life
You will be shown How I’ve become
Indestructible determination that is incorruptible from the other saide, a terror to behold annihilation will be unavoidable
every broken enemy will know that their opponent had to be invincible take a look around while you’re alive I’m an indestructible master of war!
every broken enemy will know that their opponent had to be invincible take a look around while you’re alive I am indestuctable
Indestructible Determination that is incorruptable Form the other side, a terror to behold Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know That their opponent had to be invincible Take a last look around while you’re alive I’m an indestructible master of war!

Something to think about is basic Classic Metal and Rock- Black Sabbath, Metallica, even things like Guns&Roses. Heinlein (I believe) actually suggested in Starship Troopers (the novel) that that sort of Pounding, primal, angry beat is perfect for things like Jump Troops, where you're not so much marching as bounding- I think the same concept applies to the much slower steps of some of the heavier mechs.

Anything can be a segue, it just comes to the technique of turning it into one.
Segue also being a musical technique, basically it's where you continue on without a pause. When you hear a song end and immediately flow into the next, that's a segue.
The best package is Elite which gives you about twice as much as you've spent, followed by Veteran, then Legendary gives the least amount for the money you spend.
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Because we're not in the beta, but if we were this is what we'd be listening to in our mechs while supposedly fighting other mechs which may or may not exist currently?

Is there a reason you spoilered Mississippi's unofficial state flag?
I'm so wrong for that...

The people at the no guts no galaxy podcast share our sentiment for people that are in the beta. i recommend that everyone should listen to them since they are quite up-to-date with the news and sometimes they have a a few staff members on there show. Better than listeming to this music on loop.

After playing MW4, I really don't like MWO anymore. I know its not final build yet, I'm just giving my personal opinion.
I wont say why, I'Ill keep it to myself.

Um ...
Sad to hear, though. But hey, other good games are on the horizon as well, maybe you'll find Planet Side 2 more to your liking? Or give Mount & Blade a try. It's Dakka approved.
With out saying too much, I think it's due to multiplayer only side of things on MWO. I really like the micromanage aspects of MW4 mercs.

Hmm, I'd argue that you can micromanage real people in a lance of human players, if you are so inclined. But I do see where you are coming from.
Everything has pro's and con's. I think MWO's community of human players has a lot to offer. Faction banter and roleplaying in the forums, fighting human opponents of varying quality and with unforeseeable tactics, coordinating your own team's assault, ...
And, of course, you can vie for control of planets on a strategic map, capturing them for your own Inner Sphere nation or mercenary band, although this has nothing to do with multiplayer versus singleplayer.
