That's the case for me exactly.Some music gives you adrenaline.
Some adrenaline helps you play better.
True that its very different for people, but I play better with music in my headset, its like I can just turn my brain off and work. It just has to be a song i'm in the mood for, because otherwise if I want to hear some rock and I end up getting a different genre (something too slow or too fast) or something, it sounds like I have a chalkboard right next to my ear that's getting raked by nails and I can't focus because i'm so annoyed >_<
As for sounds and cues, that's what my rumble feature is for. Besides, I rarely ever look at my character, isn't that what you're suppose to do anyway?
