Sorry if this has been discussed a lot internally but here's a clear thought on it I had yesterday when I was listening to them being flat:


1) A different sound when someone dies (e.g. ding ding ding - dong (dead) )

2) A different sound on headshot (secondary)

3) perhaps different sounds for different parts it hits (secondary)

but 1) is the main.



ammendment:

4) Hitting and killing sounds on nades.

I think they should get rid of them entirely, they're just not necessary at all for this game.

You do know that you can turn them off right?

I totaly agree with 2) and 3) (3 makes 2 obsolete)
i wouldn't mind 1 either.

I did suggest it a while ago for 4.2 but there weren't a lot supporters.

I should point out my desire to have a 'you killed him' sound is affected a lot by the fact I have hitting and killing text messages removed from the screen since I find them distracting most of the time. But a 'you killed him' sound would be great.

Uh if you don't use the stupid hit sounds, it's very easy to tell what body part you hit and when you get a kill.

[mitsubishi]

how? I mean also for killing confirmation.

and because of unlagged it's easy to have no visual contact at all (+ distance).

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. etc. The only kills where you're really not going to be able to see the body fall are sniper shots around corners, and then you can watch the hit messages. You get 2 lines for an SR8 kill. Easy enough to see the difference between 1 new line and 2 new lines appearing in the corner of your eye. I'm always glancing at death messages anyway. Not sure why it's hard to tell where you've landed a hit or when you've killed someone.

no they're a lot here; e.g. waiting under the bridge (ts) in casa for snipers to pop their head, spamming some shots with my auto - bunnyhopping under the entrance to check there (cause if you stay you're dead), coming back etc. you hear some "ding ding" without seeing it (affected by unlagged a lot if you're more than 90ms) and you have to check the text to see if they died (in a mess of several players producing sounds) if it's disabled to be printing without bringing down the console.



and it might be nice knowing if your nade spam hit anything. e.g. spamming the incoming rush in turnpike and then leaving.

even if they don't die, that'd be nice.

there has been numer0us times when i'm facing multiple targets, put a 5 sh0t burst int0 the first guy hear 4 hit s0unds switch my f0cus t0 the next guy... 0nly t0 get pwnt by the dude with 7 percent health that I th0ught was dead. I must als0 menti0n this 0nly ever happens t0 me 0n maps where the enemy is blue and the map is blue, 0r 0range 0n 0range. s0 maybe just brighter skins

A death hit s0und seems like it w0uld add a little bit m0re efficiency th0ugh.
