AT-4: i think irl the at4 has more of a BANG than base kinda like a mini explosion...

RPG-7: same as the AT-4 more bang but just a smidge of bass...

Realize that the sound in these videos is distorted by compression, and by the limits of the microphones recording them. Most handheld cameras, and even news cameras, are not great at capturing sound.

QFT you can't post a link from liveleak or youtube for sounds. You need to take a good microphone and recored some guns.

It's nice us semi-sound geeks can help out Jaymz once in a while. As he said, be weary of the vast majority of these kinds of recordings, they usually aren't a very good representation of the real thing.

No need for this QFT routine Spaz, it doesn't help anyone.

cheap video recorder mics pick up no bass. take out you camera, record a song, and see if you can hear the bass line.

Well, I appreciate it nonetheless.

Agree about the AT4/RPG sounds but yeah, what most posters said still applies.

Who should i thank for the new weapon sounds in 0.7?

I LOVE them

You can't have realistic sounds in a video game. Unless you don't mind getting sued by every player so hearing loss. There's a reason ear plugs are now part of your PCC/PCI check list.

Jaymz, you and Sofad are the daddies... awesome work guys, you are deserving of a number of beers each courtesy of me...
My contribution to the "must have" noise.. the Mortar Alarm, perhaps a feature of main base if there is any incoming stuff, like jdams, laser guided bombs etc.
Those mortar radars can pick things up pretty well, and it would give a good atmosphere.
Alternatively, replace the "10 tickets to go" noise with it if possible.

and another, a bit of swearing but lets face it, who wouldn't.

I can't wait to see Mortars one day in PR mod, the definitive infantry weapon of choice.

Yer but they can still sound right maybe just turned down a bit... I have a mate that mans our 50cal on our bushrangers and he has reduced hes hearing by about 50%

I really love the sound of that G3...it has so much *crack* to it. Imo the m16 and L85 could have something a little more on that line. Everything else is spectacular. I can't tell you how many times we've been defending and heard a big fight going on and said "Damn that sounds awesome...someone is getting into it down there."

First class sounds for sure!!
