I think it's a gamechanger for immersion as well. I think it really adds another layer of tension, and I might go so far as to call it a Space Odyssey type feel were the action not so frantic. It just seemed so natural throughout the whole game it felt like I was playing it the way it was meant to be played. It only just occurred to me five minutes ago that I'd turned the music off: I'd forgotten. I thought I'd go into audio options to turn it down, but then I had a thought: Why not just shut it off? Well I'm in Hydroponics right now and I won't spoil anything but I have to say I think my decision really paid off.

I was enjoying it early on, but when I got to the science/medical deck I found I just couldn't stand the music. I thought I'd pick it up and see what all the fuss was about.

Done! You may wish to continue to the sections below to improve the appearance of the game.So I'm on my first playthrough ever of System Shock 2.

I suggest loading the Standard FPS control set and making any adjustments from there.

You can change one by selecting it and clicking Bind. Open Options>Customize Controls to set the control you are most comfortable with.The menu will have black bars on the sides on a widescreen monitor, but the gameplay fills the screen when it is set correctly. Start the game, open Options>Video>Resolution, and set a resolution that matches your monitor.It has a lot of smarts, and will sort out more stuff than you can imagine! Let it download and install all necessary patches.Run it, accept the default list of check boxes, and when prompted tell it where your folder with the copied stuff is.Download SS2Tool_v6.1.exe (or newer) from this thread at.This new folder will become the folder for the installed game, and should NOT be under Program Files. Instead of using the setup.exe on the CD or whatever you have, simply copy the contents of the SHOCK folder to a new folder on your computer.
