COD3 Sound Recording!

[AceOfSpades]

IMO, RO:O has the best weapon sounds ever. Enough bass for the oomph, enough treble for the crack. Not so much bass that it becomes distorted and not so much treble that it sounds like you're slapping some aluminum foil.

Most games have sounds that sound either tinny or bassy. INF had tinny sounds and CS had bassy sounds. That pump shotgun sound in CS is so distorted, it sounds like a recording of someone at a shooting range and firing a shotgun the exact moment an earthquake occurs.

I didn't like CoD 2's sounds. Lee Enfield and MP40 sounded "watery" and lacked the crack big time. Bren sounded tinny and weak. The SVT40... no comment. StG-44 was too bassy and didn't sound powerful, nor did it have a crack.

Springfield was really bad. That whiney sound mixed with it gives me the impression that SPR's K98 sound was used as a reference.

RO:O sounds > all.

The sounds in CoD2 seem funny now after playing RO. Most BB guns sound more powerfull then some of those guns.

RO has some serious weapon sounds issues IMO only bolt action rifles actually echo and has the "fade" effect other guns just a small "bom bom bom" like mp40 has the worst sound ive ever heard. They sound like they are being shot in a closed basement or smth not on open terrain.

You must have a crappy sound card or crappy speakers slinky, cause on my PC the smg's sound ear splitting at close range and have the correct faded out sound at distance. It's always funny to hear the rattle of the PPSh going of in the distance and then see two or three names come up that have been killed by some mad spraying bastard. Or on the flipside to hear the rattle go off for ages then be cut short by one single rifle shot, that's even funnier

With a 7.1 surround sound speaker system and volume turned up really, really loud, hearing a PPsH going off right next to you is enough to make you crap your pants.

I can't wait for the video of Xancerman recording live fire from an IS-2.

That's nothing, just wait until they try to record the sound of an artillery barrage.

CoD 2's sounds are laughable. The Russian SMG's sound like laser guns. Pewpewpew!

RO's always had some of the best weapon sounds I've ever heard. They only got better with ROO. Except the '44, that went from sounding tough in 3.3 to sounding... CoD 2-ish.

Hehe, I still remember the Kar98 sound back in... was it 3.0? There was a single version where it sounded like a cannon.

 

[AceOfSpades]

The russian guns may sound like laser guns, but the MP40 and Lee Enfield sound like a huge rock being thrown into a lake .

I heard they are going to use "a completely new sound engine". Specilally developed for CoD 3.

Too bad COD3 is console only which means as good as the sound is for the average person it will sound like arse comming out of the tiny speakers on their TV
