BFV Soundeffects

Deinos · 06-24-2004, 06:26 PM

I was wondering whether there were people that actually like the quality of the sound effects in BFV. I was personally very disappointed by them. For instance, the muzzle blast of the tank cannons on some of the tanks sound like the cheap shot gun sound effect from N64s Goldeneye. I heard the sound first on Quang Tri and thought I was being shot at with a shot gun. Imagine my surprise when I saw it was actually a tank. The sound of bullet impacts on the ground sound like the arrow sound from every lousy jungle/western movie ever made. When I first played, I thought the impact sounds were from a bow and arrow-carrying enemy class that wasn't listed in the user's manual. Also the explosions have no umph to them. They don't even seem like explosions. I think EA/DICE could have done a much better job with the sound effects. Does anyone think differently?

i think that all the BF sfx are pretty weak.
take a listen at the MOH, Cod...even DC sounds....sooo much better.

don't understand with such a great game, and all the work that goes into a title, why the sfx sometimes are the weak link...it's half the illusion.

The sound that bugs me the most is the squelching, water in the wellies sounds the Americans make while moving. The enemy can hear you coming a mile away, especially if there's a few of you together :/

I think that's a bug, I've only noticed on Game Warden when I've followed someone after we've been wading and we've been making that weird sound.

This is what i did to fix the sound---FAILED

1.) Spend $700 on a DTS 7:1 surround sound system

2.) Spend a month trying to get the channels working

3.)Turn the bass up really loud

4.)Get the police to come round because they think ur slaughtering ur family

5.)Put it back in the box and deal with it
