I don't agree/like your sig, avatar or name but i do agree with your suggestion the SVD is a wonderful rifle :razz:

It sounds like a pellet gun.

It would seem that he's trying to wind people up. I don't see how it's any more or less acceptable then anyone showing pride in any other form of armed organisation, well I say organisation but one random, probably none existent guys probably can't be classified as an "organisation" I guess :-P .

The SVD sound is ok though, just seems like it needs the 'crack sound' accenting a little better which I'm sure a little EQing and EAX tampering could easily achieve (If their allowed to do that).

Comparing that google vid with the ingame sound i think its pretty damn close already. I think what makes it sound different on the vid to ingame is the environment echo or w/e the sound techies call it.

Its got the old model scope, the PSO-1, which is fairly realistic as its only going to be used by insurgents/maliita in the end, as the MEC will be getting the G3SG/1 as their DMR.

To me it sounds nothing like the video it sounds like an air rifle in game.

1.The current sound is the EA/DICE sound, we haven't changed it yet.

2.Online videos are usually poor references for weapon sounds. For example, in your video the SVD sounds one way

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkPiwChiblU[/youtube]

In that, it sounds completely different. Microphones on video cameras are not intended to record such high SPL sounds as gunshots and thus, they are a poor reflection of a weapons true sound.

3.I'll be overhauling loads of weapons sounds in 0.7 so I'll see what I can do.

4.That name/sig/avatar is going to piss off a lot of this community something fierce.

What's the sig say anyway? To be honest I still think there are equally offensive things if you take a none NATO slant on these kinda things.
