Gunfire sounding like toys and punchless thread number 100

[Reallifeh8er]

Yes, this is another rant about how an unhappy KF2 player doesn't like how toyish some guns in KF2 sound. So bear with me this one time.

The Desert Eagle doesn't sound all that punchy and loud and powerful.
Here is a video that demonstrates how an actual Desert Eagle sounds like when fired.

And here is another one, that demonstrates how an AK47 sounds like (although it is an AK12 in KF2)

And the M1014 sounds HORRIBLE when fired. It doesn't even sound like a gunshot!

If I could I would replace the KF2 gunfire sounds with these real fired guns. Would give the game that feel of firing a gun, that it's been missing in KF2.

Hopefully TW will allow us to mod the gunfire sounds. I can't wait to bring back the old AR15 gunfire sound and the old HE Grenade explosion too!
And the old Scrake and the old Fleshpound.

Would be nicer to have insurgency gunfire sounds and explosions in kf2... or atleast a mod to some guns.
Also a cheeky plausible fix to the gun fire sound is to just make them louder and have more audible echo.. and maybe more bass at the beginning of the shot.

I think you misspelled "95% of the sounds sound horrible".

 

[CJwarrior]

Afaik you can actually modifiy the sounds of the guns, some dude did it and replaced with the KF1 sounds. The game sounds a lot better, now if we could get the kf1 zed voices in, would be great.

 

[oldmidget]

guns in real life are just loud AF, especially when you're standing a few feet from them.

the worst sounds in KF2 is the M4. its almost like the sound of something crunching only sped up alot haha. AK12 burst sound i like, but not the full auto.

I tried replacing the new AR15 sounds with the old AR15 sounds with no success. I tried a few ways to achieve replacing sounds but no success so far.
If I could find the one, who modded it and then teach me how he did it, I'd gladly open a community guide for it.

you mean the m4? thats cause its a 9mm in this game.

the M4 combat shotgun. what do you mean its a 9mm?

 

[Kothre]

He clearly meant the AR-15, which fires 9mm rounds.

 

[oldmidget]

i think the ar-15 sounds good.

AR-15 in this game probably fires 5.56.

 

[oldmidget]

AR-15 in this game probably fires 5.56.

no, it definitely fires 9mm. pretty sure the l85 shoots 5.56 in this game, then the AK 5.45x39 and scar is 7.62x51 ???

AR-15 model fires 9mm, but for all intends and purposes it uses the 5.56mm stats from all/most other guns firing this caliber. basically it needs a model swap.
L85 fires 5.56 NATO based on its magazine, also I don't think this weapon was chambered in any other caliber.
AK 7.62X39 based on character voicelines "7.62 to the brainpan does wonders" from bill masterson when using the weapon, but apparently 5.56 NATO based on the shape of its magazine (this is from someone else on the forums)...realistically it can use either depending on its model.
SCAR fires 7.62X51 can be read on the side of the gun model.

yea you may be right, sometimes i forget they made it so the AR-15 does same damage as L85

 

[Gladius]

This is the third thread I see here where the sound issue is discussed. I guess it's just one of their questionable design decisions. They definately know how to make better sounds.

I think the AK-12 is a 5.45x39, while if it were AK-15 then it would have 7.62x39, atleast according to wikipedia which could be wrong.

you are correct, but like all the other calibers this weapon can fire it is just a redesignation (AK-15 = AK-12 with a barrel suited for 7.62X39 caliber) they did not do that for their rechambered versions for 5.56X45 or 7.62X51 (they are all AK-12 for some odd reason)

hence I just ignore the existence of the AK-15

 

[Reallifeh8er]

Also the AR15 sounds like a toy too now. I personally liked the old one but here is a real AR15 being fired

https://youtu.be/TMPmk9ri6hU?t=2m37s

I really wonder how Tripwire designs the gunfire sounds. I personally find it unacceptable and even more so, that they have real guns and are shooting in a firing range, so they should know better, right?

 

[poultrygeist]

i have never fired an AR15 in real life..so judge me by that, not knowing perhaps...

i do like the "new" AR15 sound way better than the old one. it feels impactfull to a degree. the old sound just didnt do it for me. it sounded way more "plastic".

coming from a person that has only shot a double barrel in real life, hence not much experience with the ingame guns in real life...i do like most of the sounds the game has to offer..especially the 1911's. coming to think of it i cant actually say i dislike any of the gun sounds that are based on RL guns. all the projectile weapons feel great and sound just as awesome as i would think they would do if you had actually held one on a range and squezzed off a few rounds. mind you..saying this...i have very little experience with shooting guns or how they feel/sound.

 

[Gladius]

The EBR for example sounds like a tank rifle fired on a mountain range. That is totally immersion breaking for me. Or the MP5 for example. Thats not how a 9mm on full auto sounds to me. It was pointed out that they recorded real weapon sounds and that how we hear them will depend on our personal output device. In other words, if I don't use my headset and interconnect the equalizer of my hifi system, then I might get better results...
