Description

Most modern 3D games engines implement directionality to some extent. Directionality refers to the explorations of sound design that intentionally take advantage of that or even tweak it in some way, to achieve some effect, for instance in terms of the Gameplay.

Beacon Locator is one kind of exploration that may resort to Directionality.

Examples

[Note: considering that this is still a candidate pattern, more examples then usually are presented, in order to provide a better support for the discussion.]

Papa Sangre: Practicing the skill of facing a particular direction (only through sound), which is crucial for the Gameplay.
Red Dead Redemption: Following the sound to find a point of interest, in the abscence of visual clues. Directionality has been specifically approached in this game<ref name="isaza-rdr" />.
Far Cry 2:
[show less examples...]
The Path: Template:Spolier
Killzone 2: In the final battle in Killzone [pending: not exactly "final" – search for its name] [SHOW SPOILER].
Metal Gear Solid 4: Being able to locate the moving bosses through their soundprint is instrumental to defeat major bosses in Metal Gear Solid 4 (BB Corps and Vamp, namelly) [pending: double check this one].
Half-Life 2:
Halo:
