Long range audible bullet impacts on enemy. Why?

If your shots might not even kill someone anymore due to bandaging you might as well get the luxury of knowing you at least DID hit them.

I'm pretty sure you only get the sound when you kill them.

Correct. When I wound people I don't hear it. If I kill them I hear it. Really kills the immersion when you see the blood spatter and they keep running into out of your view but you already know they're dead. I'm not a fan of the quick bandage thing. It should take about the time it does in L4D to go into an interruptable bandaging animation. But on the topic at hand, it should just be disabled in realism mode. It's a very satisfying sound but just not correct for a game destined to be realistic.


For instance when I'm playing ARMA II @UO and I'm on a point lookout covering maybe 30

Yeah, it's only when you get a kill.

I didn't even know there was a sound... but it could be because I have to turn the sound down to only 8 channels or my 3 year old laptop only gets 10 fps.
