It shouldn't be harsh at all. What we would have would be a single object that is invisible (imagine an invisible 1 x 1 centemeter cube) with a few lines of code saying, "play this, 'blah.ogg', every 20-30 minutes and randomize it". I don't know python but this sort of thing, no matter what language, will definitely be minuscule. The sounds also won't be taking up too much space like I mentioned in the original post.
Now I don't know who's hands this falls into, probably mappers, but once their made they could be easily placeable. The possibilities are endless.
It's the little things like this that count =]
PS: some more examples:
- Bullfrogs in swamps (CRAauu!, "The fck was that?")
- Distant, distant shelling. Something you can't mistake for in-game though.
- Cicadas.
- A REAL church bell in Silent Eagle!
- Cautionary talk in both English and Arabic from US bases telling people to clear the streets? Not sure if this happens irl.
- Offmap Foghorns and ship horn blasts.
- Crickets
