Let me explain what this topic is all about. Now, I downloaded the HL2 mod Insurgency ( a mod for HL2 that takes place in the Iraq war) and have been havin tons of fun playing that. The one thing that I really noticed stands out in this mod is the weapon sounds. Not only are they great sounds when you fire the gun, making a strong crack, but they sound absolutley AWESOME in the distance, making loud echoes and such.

Has anyone else noticed that some of the weapon sounds for the guns in BF2 absolutley suck ass? I mean, take the .50 cal guns for the MEC and PLA. Or the FN F2000, the thing sounds like a freaking pea shooter! When you fire a gun in Insurgency, it really feels and sounds like you're firing a damn weapon that's going to kill someone. Now, some gun sounds are cool. For all those people that like the AK-101, one of the reasons it's so cool is because it sounds so fucking awesome firing it

This topic probably makes no sense, but I'm just wondering if anyone notices that any of the weapon sounds in BF2 are a little bit...lacking...

some guns in bf2 sound pretty flat, such as the f2000 and the saw, but it's way way too far in the game to even hope that stuff like that will be revamped.

PR has better weapon noises, if you're into that sort of thing.

They are, but it will never happen, it won't stop people playing the game and EA have finished with patches so no.

Thats not what hes asking, he just thinks it would be better to have good gun sounds, which I definitely agree with.

They should go to a range and just record the sound of as many of the guns possible. That would be amazing.

It obviously won't happen in BF2, so people are saying PR has better noises.

What more do you want us to say?

I want to keep the topic on BF2, not on mods. Simple

Probably.

OR I'd download weapon noises that swear. A different swear for each gun.

If you know what you are doing, you can edit the game sounds with your own gun sounds. Only you can hear them, but it's worth a try.

The weapon sounds in BF2 are the actual sounds the weapons make in real life. The AK's do make the loud popping sounds while the M-16 makes a cracking sound. My past experince, I am impressed with the realism put into BF2. If you want Hollywood sound effects keep praying for a Steven Segul computer game.

PR sounds > BF2 sounds.

Everything sounds like a beast. Especially the M16 and M4.

the man speaks the truth. A lot of the reason that you have shitty sounding ones like the F2000 is because they had to lower the decible level (if that's the word to use) to make it so you don't lose your hearing from playing BF2.

If they were to use the actual loud sounds that come from the guns, you would get 2 things

1. You'd get your cool gun sounds
2. Deaf in about 3 seconds, probably less (well, if you use headphones, if you use speakers, they might just blow up [your speakers ])

I think the sound in BF2 is bordering on spectacular -- it's amongst the best I've heard in any game. Yes, a few of the guns don't sound very meaty, but the majority sound good. Most importantly, BF2 has that massive war immersion factor -- you can hear bombs dropping from a long way off, you hear the pop of the M95, tanks firing etc. Nearly every sound you hear in BF2 is generated by other players & equipment. Most other games don't do this -- they just have canned environmental/gunfire sounds to build atmosphere.

Until you make a game that has sold millions of copy and been vastly successful, just shut up and stop complaining. If you want different gun sounds, play Project Reality! Stop whining about something that a load of players like, and have liked since its release day!

go back in time to the non-existant beta. Somebody might have listened then.

And yes, gun sounds are about as unsatisfying as it gets thesedays. Only in CS, when you fire an M3 or AWP.. BOOOM
