Im not sure if this was posted previously, but iv noticed that the Merlin chopper sound is in like one spot all the time even though the chopper is really at the airport picking up troops. I figure its a glitch carried on from BF2, correct me if im wrong. If so, just ignore this, and dont beat me over it. Just kinda annoyign when i got 5.1 surround sound, and love hearing the distant craking sounds of gunfire and all u hear is the damn merlin everywhere.... its like its taunting me... its eerie.. frightning at least....

Try changing the way your sound is run. E.g. your running it on hardware then change it to software or vise-versa. I remember I made my sound run off hardware once and it sounded like everything was beside me.

maybe it has something to do with the long distance sounds now?

In 0.6 I used to get this ALL the time in Gulf of Oman with the Blackhawk sound, always in the exact same spot every match. To tell you the truth I have no idea what so ever what is causing it though.

+1 we all used to get the merlin sound sticking at certain points on the map in 0.61 BUT now in basrah in 0.7 it alllll the time, My squad of 5 kept hearing the merlin everytime it flew away, we'd chase it right down to the source and find nothing, real pain.

It seems like the sound sticks wherever the merlin goes out of view distance or something close.

Yup Merlin was destroyed in Al Basrah and I was still hearing his flying sound

Sometimes if you die and go to the spot where others can hear it you can no longer hear it. Just shoot it down that normally does the job.
