RS Constructive Feedback On The Recently Implemented Changes to The Bullet Impact Sounds
- Thread starter Thelionheart
- Start date
As awesome as Dibbler's sound mod is with the sonic cracks I believe TWI didn't take this path for a reason. They realized the common casual players would wonder WTF was going on... lol. Regular people don't understand what that noise is... for bullets don't make those sounds in movies.
Probably going to have to stick with the mutator to get the true effect.

I have to disagree that this effect happens. I find that although a lot of new players ask questions regarding whether something is real or not (i.e. flamethrowers tanks not exploding when shot, bolt rifles reloading 2 bullets after 1 shot, etc), once they find out that it really is the truth through the chat channels, they applaud and are very impressed by it rather than being distasteful of it.
It could be built into the hint system as well. For example:
"Suppression
Incoming enemy fire suppresses your character making it harder to aim. You can tell if you are in danger by the sounds of the bullets passing by you. Whooshing sounds mean that bullets are passing very close by. Supersonic cracks mean that bullets are passing slightly further away.... etc"

Except we've seen it work in other games like ARMA and especially resistance and liberation. I think any player, casual or otherwise, enjoys an authentic feel of being shot at and suppression. Hell, if you look at popular series like Band of Brothers or the Pacific there's way more whizzes whooshes and impact noise than in RO2/RS.

+1 Fear is why i play this game...its already scary but better bullet impact sounds would complement the suppression effect

My feedback, does every map really need the flamethrower and Nambu smg?
I feel like at least Guadalcanal should not feature these weapons. Just an observation...I think realistic?
And Americans almost always get too many flamers I think.

Getting back to the original post by OP, I haven't noticed a difference in bullet impact sounds, if they were increased, it wasn't enough to make a difference.
I'm just waiting for Dibbler to save us...

Play with Dibbler's mod. Trust me, you'll be surprised just how scary being suppressed by an mg is!

Yeah adding bullet cracks is different; it makes you aware of bullets that you previously didn't notice. The OP is about bullet impact sounds.

I actually meant to talk about both, but the title has a character limit and I could not fit that into it.

Since I told you earlier I'd put it up if you got it working on a server, I'll see if I can get one up this weekend. I'll make a post when I do.

Thanks!
I know ducky mentioned in a separate thread that it was working on his LAN, presumably using a dedi server on said network. I ran similar tests before I first released it. So everything should run smoothly. This may be the first 'live' test of the mutator that I've known about!

Louder misses and impact sounds please! I still have trouble telling when I'm being shot at until its too late.

It'd be nice to have louder guns in third person too. Everytime I get gunned down by a machinegun on Iwo Jima I just don't hear it fire, or the bullets whizz past me. It'd be way more immersive if you could actually hear the machineguns firing on the beach.
