No worries, I kinda overreacted too in my first post. I guess it wasn't the BoB sounds, but it still sounded similar to some kind of self-loading rifle. It just bothers me when I hear something I associate to a Garand firing at full auto
I guess it's an issue with the sound quality. Some of the guns sound kind of subdued.
Mike, I am actually suprised at you, considering this mod uses stock sounds from Call of Duty 2.
Not to metion, probably some of the most horrible sounds from that game.
The G43, SVT, STG44, and P38 sounds all are from COD2.
My freaking airsoft rifle makes a more punchy sound these semi's!

Both COD1 and COD2 had some of the most horrible weapon sounds I've ever heard from any game.
You can't even tell how far away someone is firing (something RO is extremely good at.)
Not to mention, COD sounds were down right annoying.
I could barely stand the game [COD2] when it came out because of the horrendous MP44 sound and Thopson-firing-the-M1-Garand-sound-glitch!
(Which was never fixed! Did you even test your game IW?).
The COD1 Thompson sound forced me to stop playing stock MP altogether among other things. (Heat of Battle FTW!)

The russian bolt, sounded good, but the aftertouch was really weak.
Not much of low or mid level frequecy sound you would expect to hear from a rifle.
The reverb has no balls.
I do agree with the notion that the MP40 sounds like an M1 Garand. From the videos and sound clips I've seen/heard, the MP40 has a high "tat/tah", sound but the pitch wasn't as high as what I've heard. It would be best to eliminate the aftertouch from that sound file, and maybe bend the pitch up slightly.
I did like the Kar98 sound. But it seems I've heard it before somewhere else.
The russian grenade - wtf? It's like only the sound you hear after the explosion, but without the initial explosion sound.
TT33 sounds alright, but needs reverb - it sounds like you are firing it in a recording studio.
(You know, where it is so quiet you can hear your heart beating!)
Stielhandgranate sounds alright, but it sounds the other three grenade explosion sounds you hear in 3 out of every 4 MOH/COD "custom" soundpacks.
I'm happy this mod doesn't have that amateur perception that a scope somehow increases the size and length of a rifle's reverberation.
And on top of that - makes it sound completely different than the rifle without the scope.
I am by no means a weapons expert.
These are just the impressions of a lowly aspiring sound engineering student.
The Ostfront sound work is absolutely incredible. It's amazing how most of the ambient noise is player generated. All the weapons sound authentic and real, and sound depth perception is unparalleled in any game I've ever played. I don't know why anyone would want to cover up such beautiful work with a subpar sound mod. The inclusion of stock COD2 sounds is down right insulting.
(I had to load and run POS2 and check).... the sound mut is now history!!Frankly..... since the sounds are from CoD2.
Hahahaha!
Sorry to piss in your cheerios man!
So that's where the sounds I heard last night came from. I thought they sounded pretty good. Maybe some could be tweaked a little but I don't know which ones. I was too busy trying to stay alive to sort out which weapons sounded best.
