New Weapon Sounds in 2.85 - Good or Bad (I say bad...)

boxster · Mar 14, 2001

Yeah yeah, i know, first post i make about 2.85 is knocking it... but personally, I was shocked to hear the new sounds of 2.85. My reaction was - OMG, WHAT HAVE THEY DONE? - particularly with the Robar, PSG, M16, MP5, Beretta, and some other ones i can remember. They also seemed fuzzy, and lacked the "oomph" the old ones had.

I loved the old sounds, and I want them back...

BTW, the rest of the new stuff (ie interface, player models, Sig) rocks.

What do you guys think of the new sounds?

if you have ever shot a real gun, these sounds are right on the money. the only one that is a lil off is the Robar, just too much echo.

When I fired the first time the M16 I was really surprised. Now it sounds like a real gun and not like a little plastic thingy as before. The same happened when I heard the SIG.
The only sound that's kind of weak (in my ears) is from the beretta. I liked the old one better, but I never heard a real one so... I trust the team (and Neo) when it comes to weapon sounds.

Party's over ! *grin*

DarkBls · Mar 14, 2001

Yes, i trust NEO about sound with my closed eyes.

I don't blindly trust Neo (or anyone for that matter hehe) But if the sounds sucked I'd be the first whining about it. Truth be told the sounds right now are so real it is scary. Don't change a thing.

i wouldn't blindly trust anybody, unless they've gained my trust. so far, the inf team has when it comes to portraying firearms as acurately as they can. as i've stated before, i've fired a beretta. the old sound was the right sound, but it sounded kind of subdued, maybe a from a distance or a different room, not so much like _you_ were firing it. with 2.85, the first time i fired the m9 i about jumped, thinking "oh my god, it's PERFECT!"

INF_Neo · Mar 14, 2001

yep, the Beretta is the child I worry the most about.... I know it sucks.

For the Robar echo: guess what, I've thought something when I added this echo (yeeeeah

)
Where do you fire sniper rifles? large outdoor terrain....
now take a guess where these echos are always rather long....

10 points for you

Yeah the M9 sound was better before, but other that that they are a lot better.

M9 sound worse? What? To me the new sounds for the M9 (and a few others) make 2.80's sound like capguns...

Maybe I changed my audio settings or something (could the 3D sound checkbox affect this?), but all the sounds changed for 2.85 sound meaner and more fear-envoking to me... and the only sound that I would say is weak is the grenade explosion sound.

The problem with the sound is the decibel level relative to the other sounds in the game--they are just too quiet. There's a reason that you wear ear protection at a firing range. If you've ever heard a large caliber weapon being fired, even two rooms away--it is loud! I know for a fact that a shotgun blast is not just slightly louder than a footstep.

What they need to do is just turn up the sound on the gunfire relative to the other sounds.

Getta_1 · Mar 14, 2001

The m16 sounds much nicer in this version however I still like the old sound for the M9.

HoneyPlex · Mar 14, 2001

I loved the sound of the Desert Eagle but now its kinda lame.

Dobbs · Mar 14, 2001

I think the levels just need to be tweaked, footsteps and reloading are way too loud, (louder than screaming? I think not

)

dont do it HoneyPlex

You shouldn't do that because that way you can't play online any more because all your files should be the same as the server and others. If your going to change or replace files you won't be able to play online

what i think the sounds are relative to (the gun sounds that is) almost the real thing
or my big brothers farts

but Neo kinda made the pistols sound like long rifles (.22 cal) instead of pistols. Though its not the 'gun sound' it is the bullet sound, of the bullet being fired.

so, we all know that the shorter the barrel the louder the sound, and the bigger bullet is also louder

the m9 has a moderatly short barrel, and a kind of a small bullet, so its sound should be pumped up just a notch

the deagle has a moderatly big bullert, and a large barrel to keep bullet velocity, so its sound should be cut short, and just a *tad* bit louder

this much louder (in dots) <...>

i still think that the turret needs some work not only on the muzzle flash but sound also, it kinda sound like some one put a fire-work in long wooden tube rather than a gun being fired

robar is awsome
same with all the other guns

so all is well

Shading the way.....

JonnyBoy · Mar 14, 2001

if you used the desert eagle like all the COOL people you wouldn't have to worry about the m9!

Antedeluge · Mar 14, 2001

I like the new M9. It reminds me of firing my brother-in-law's Ruger P-Series 9mm at the firing range. I also like the new DE sound. The old one sounded like the bullet lurched from the barrel very roughly. The new one sounds more clean and sharp, which I hope is the case with a REAL DE.

If it's stupid, but works, it isn't stupid.

Misfire is on the money

Initially I thought the new sounds sucked, but they're growing on me. But the biggest problem is the gun sounds relative to other sounds in the game. On the smaller maps, if somebody fires even a pistol, you should be able to hear it almost throughout the level. Often in outdoor area Assault rifle battles the most dominant sound is the bullets striking the walls/ground. This probably shouldn't be the case.
