What are you talking about? I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but I've got a Creative Audigy 2 ZS, and I not only get flawless surround, but also the echos and sound occlusion you guys were wanting earlier, sooo...

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

I'm not fussed about environmental sounds as much as the fact that i can't hear people loading r0x that well. There's a known bug about people out of sight/detection can actually walk up behind you without being 'drawn' until you look around. This means that they make no noise as long as they don't pickup anything.
Ergo, you get shot without warning that should be there. One big thing i noticed from UT -> 2k3 was that i simply couldn't rely on audio as much as i used to. I used to do duels, tracking based solely on audio cues which is just not possible anymore. As a flagrunner i'd be listening for the clickover of the rockets loading, the charge of the goop, the sound of a sniper rifle being pulled out, the discharge of shock #2s from all around. If i can't 'register' people that i haven't 'seen' then i can't do that as well anymore.
And, what was said above. If it's not audigy then it's not particularly great.

I encountered that bug last night while trying to duel. In a situation where I would think I'd be able to hear the guy's footsteps, I couldn't hear anything. I also managed to peek about the corner and see, for a split second, the guy not being rendered, so it looked like he just popped out of the air. 
I also want to hear chattier bots. In UT99 the bots were more conversational than we are online, i like that. In the demo of UT2007, the bots talked a little bit more, but not enough for my likes (but maybe thats just cause they havent got to the taut game files yet?).
