95% of kills are close enough you can hear the death sound effect. Head shots make a splat, helmet shots a ding. Legs make a squishy sound.

I would need this feature (3)) for long-mid ranged fights mainly in order to figure out quickly (while shooting) how much life my opponent has left, and i can't read the lines and aim at the same time.

1) A different sound when someone dies (e.g. ding ding ding - dong (dead) )
good idea but what is with the bleed to death notification?

2) A different sound on headshot (secondary)
what don said. but implanted as hit sound so you can hear it from miles away.

3) perhaps different sounds for different parts it hits (secondary)
yes but for leg/arm shots we should stick to one sound.

No.

Isn't it obvious about bleed to death? Simply do the sound if you kill something not if you hit and kill something.

Its a great idea. If don etc dosent want to use it then they don't have to. I know someone who can't read text at all. There vision is to blurred, but there hand eye (ironically) coordination is amazing. This would help alot for somepeople.

Just saying I love hitsounds cuz when i use autos i spam.

ye and it's not only about spamming, there are some specific limitations of the game in providing information to the user; as I said because of unlagged, YOU HAVE to not have a visual indication - and often not a good audio indication - of what happened in a firing because you simply left the scene.



especially for nades, you've no idea what they've hit, especially if they hit(edit: killed) nothing.

a damage indication for the nades would be good ,too.

[MerkyMerc]

As long as players can choose which hit-sounds they want to hear (i.e. hear only current beep, hear only current beep and nade beep, hear only kill beep, and hear all beeps etc):
F1 for a slightly different hit-sound for kills, and another for nade hits.

F2 for hit-sounds for limbs.

concerning nades I suspect the initial thought of the coder might have been 'it'll spam them with damage messages since they hit multiple targets' but that's probably unrealistic (to think it's a problem); people would prefer that to nothing; besides if one is 'not a nerd' to need detailed msgs then why need msgs at all.

Great ideas, but instead of a different hit sound for body parts, the pitch should just be altered based on how much damage you do (similar to quake3). Since the body parts take different percentage damage from each other, you'd learn what sound means what, and while it's kind of nice to know if you shot someone in the legs or not, you should know that anyways based on where you aimed, and it's a lot more important to know how much damage you did than where you hit them (via sounds).
