Anybody else notice it? When you charge your melee, and run, your character will yell out an epic battlecry. That small little detail adds so much intensity to the game. I can't wait for bayonets, so I can't wait to do this with bayonets! :p

I do love the "charge" scream.

However, the outbursts after every medium burst of MG fire need to stop - I'm just suppressing a window, not trying to be John Rambo. But my character doesn't seem to understand that. :eek:

I like it, but it gives you away if you're somewhat close to the guy you're gonna bash... I've been shot so many times because of it lol

I hate it. Not only does it completely give away your position when you might want to try to be stealthy, but the cry goes on for a LONG, LONG, LONG time.

If I wanted to hear a guy scream annoyingly for several minutes I'd listen to Bruno Mars.

Why would you sneak up to someone and hit them with the butt of your rifle...? Bullet to the head.

i think is adds a awsome effect to the game having the chars saying stuff all the time and i really dont mind my guy screeming every 5 mins i love it sounds so real :)

Besides the fact that half the voiceovers sound like a bad porno.

Honestly, some of the stuff they say is good, dandy, and helpful, but the other 70% of it is just cringeworthy. I don't speak Russian or German but I'm tempted to use native voiceovers just so I don't need to wince every time I hear my character talk.

saves ammo... ;)

I also think the scream is often giving away your position very easily... I mostly end up having to shoot my opponent because he turned =/

I think the cringe worthy voice overs are extremely amusing and entertaining to me personally.



Although, this game could probably use voices in their native languages.

some of us don't like making clearing a building a challenge. People hear enemy gunfire downstairs* a hell of a lot more easily than they recognise the name of someone downstairs appearing on the wrong side of the killboard ;)




*may not actually be downstairs, might just be the next room but you get my point

Because it takes no skill to walk up behind a deployed, stationary MG and point and click.


Give the guy some sort of chance to defend himself instead of executing him.

I understand why you would want to move quietly and melee, in apartments when the Russians move to the next set of points I am always clearing out the buildings and melee is a good way to do it.

But I don't think I have ever screamed unless I was running and holding melee, walking I have never yelled, and if you are already running then I say scream and make him crap himself!!!

I've "discovered" it yesterday.
And I hoped no one here would find out 'cause they would sure find in this a reason to complain.
When you try to silent kill, you're not supposed to run anyway, it also makes noise you know.

Your character stays quiet if an enemy is nearby, so the issue with the enemy hearing you is kinda moot.

At any rate, I like the English VO's. Probably personal preference, but whatever. :)

If your sneaking up behind them to bash them, just don't sprint and you won't scream. Just walk and bash them.

Are you sure they shot you because of the battlecry, or because you were running right at them? :IS2:
