Wilhelm anyone?

i know this should go into the suggestions section but seeing as it is closed for 2 weeks and this is (as far as i know) a new suggestion.

I've noticed that with all of the new shinies and gameplay changes things have become increasingly seriouser, sadly that can start to take the fun out of things. rather than suggest we tone down the realism, because thats why we're here right? i say we should add a little humour through the sounds as we have with the fisher price radios etc.

is anyone familiar with the Wilhelm scream? now for those of you who arent familiar with the awesomeness that is the wilhelm here's a little history lesson, in nineteen hrumfnfm.... a film was made with the character of the name mr wilhelm, during said film he gets an arrow fired into his leg at which point the scream was re-done repeatedly untill they got it right. this scream then went into achives and has been used ever since, ALOT.

Mr george lucas is responsible for alot of them but they have since poped up even in the latest kia advert. for those of you who still dont know what im on about (including me) heres a demonstration of what i mean:

YouTube - The Wilhelm Scream Compilation

Now what i sugestify is that we carry on the tradition of the wilhelm and use it for one of the "death" sounds, adding a little bit of humour but still something that wont feel out of place

feel free to flame me for the suggestion, im too tired to lift my eyes higher than the space bar atm

so discuss away my pretties!



PS: theres even a song -> YouTube - That Calls for a Wilhelm Scream!!!

It wouldn't, I mean it would if it replaced ALL death screams, but what this guy is proposing is we just throw it in with all the current death sounds. So it'll play as often as any of the others, so occasionally you'll notice an "Aiee!" lol. I personally think it'd be friggen hilarious, and would love to see it added.

Maybe it should be added for whenever insurgents get arrested...
