Poll: What sound effects would you like changed or fixed?

[SqnLdr]

Footsteps. Need to be fuller and have a bit more of a thud - they sound like a toddler running across a carpark.
The out of breath sounds just don't sound... right. Too much treble and not enough presense to make you feel like your character is breathing - more like your character is listening to breathing.


And also that echoing treble that planes make long before you see them.

TOW Missiles

TOW missiles mounted on HMMWVs and Bradleys have always bugged me a little. In PR .75, the TOW missile firing sounds sounded closer to some videos I've seen than the current one. I couldn't find any videos of the .75 TOW.

To really describe it, the real life TOW firing sound has two parts, the launch, and the sound of the missile flying away. The first three videos have the two parts of the sound clearly, while the others have it sorta blended. I tried to pick videos without music/wind/excess .50cal background fire

The current one in PR really just sounds like a louder version of PR's AT-4 sound, one loud thud. (Wasn't able to find any better example videos, but this one will do).

Just get rid of the annoying sound bug.Its absurd,you start hearing an 1-0 warm up from 3 kms away,then he flies over you only for once and you keep hearing that a-10 sound(or apache or cobra or apache cannon or tank or apc) untill he makes another pass.

This will be significantly improved in the next update. Bare with us, we're plugging realistic sound distances into a game engine that is having trouble handling it.

We've got all those in the ready, its all up to the Dev's whether or not they will be used and how

[MarineSeaknight]

Uhh. Sweet. Thanks.

Well, for some odd reason (it might be me though) the firing sound of the L85 is the only one which bugs me. It's a high quality sound, but it doesn't sound, well...(can't really describe it with words) not very clear. Most other weapons have some sort of 'plok' sound. While the L85 has 'plokggg' sound, to say it very basic. I never fired a L85, so I can't say whether the sound is realistic or not. It's just one thing that noticed me, and sometimes tends to annoy me. If you guys understand what I'm trying to say. I'm also having a bit the same thing with the British GPMG on the Landrover when compared to other MG's. Btw, am I the only one who get's a little bit annoyed by this, or are there other people with the same thing?

P.S. The Vanilla Minigun sound is horrible!

yup i agree, i hate it too.

[M_Striker]

Minigun sounds to something ALOT better. I made alot of threads on this.... never got dev feedback.

Helicopter sounds to be more of a RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Chammy]

It's being worked on, but I think there are only going to be a few minor sounds changed for this next update as you may have seen on the trailer.

[DankE_SPB]

personally, i love new BTR and BRDM engine sounds, had a chance to hear them irl 2 weeks ago, ingame sounds are VERY close to original, good work

[Tarantula]

I love the new 0.869 SA80 and Chinese rifle sounds, seven gates is soo much more bearable now. I also had the chance to fire and hear the SA80 be fired, bear in mind it was on a range and i have to say, it is very similar.

[DankE_SPB]

long story short:
can we expect new sound effects/sound tweaks in 0.9?

[Rudd]

I thnk CA has some nice cannon sounds iirc and a cool 'missile incoming' sound, but I'd also like to hear a new sound for some of the older vehicles ingame, such as teh WMIK, the only sounds I actually dislike are some of the voices, but I don't thats Chammy's thing.

[Redamare]

Ambient sounds... Ocean sounds for maps such as jabal al burj , Baracuda.
Fix overall sound on albasrah. in the city all you hear is this low rumbly sound like your in a factory ALL the time. give albasrah some of the korengal ambient sound effects.
fixed vehicle sounds. Small euro + technical too quiet.
Fixed Quinling Lake sounds. when flying over the lake you hear lake water its a little strange...
More realistic water sound logic.

The Korengal sound effects are terrible. I can barely hear my teammates on VOIP or mumble when that jet sound starts coming up.

What would greatly improve the feeling would be close range gunsounds, i think your own gunsounds are just great but if gunsounds which are coming from 1-40m range would be made even more kickass, it would bring loads more fearsome feeling to the game =) I mean if the gunsound is so kickass that it causes some real fear and adrenaline, then it would be perfect, would be so cool =)

CHAMMY, it looks like you already have loads of suggestions to your future months, so I will leave that to them and you So id just like to say that its very good to see that youve brought it up, Ive always thought that the sounds of a game has been overlooked. The BF2 sounds have never been GREAT, been just fine, so thanks and good luck with it.
