BFBC2 vs COD series gun sounds

Arclite · 2 Jan 2011 at 14:24

Ok, i was just playing BFC2 and just could not help but be impressed by the gun sounds. They sound so damn real and heavy that at some point you kinda feel something in your heart. Terror may be?

.

I have played the CoD modern warfare and black ops and have noticed the gun sounds are more muted. I mean if you are holding a M-16 you should feel its noise echoing through narrow passages but that does not happen.

in my opinion the sound does it for me in BFBC like years ago syphon filter did on the playstation. The sounds in that game were light years ahead of its time.

Anyway, interesting thought that gun sounds make a huge difference in gameplay and make you wanna play one game based solely for that reason.

Quick question also, is there like a mod or something that you can apply to cod games to improve gun sounds at all?

Have you tried the 'Wartapes' sound on Bad Company 2? Sounds even better IMO

It's the one thing that annoyed me about Crysis, weapons just didn't feel like they were actually firing, I was just pointing at folk and they were dying.

BC2 should get some sort of award for the 'War Tapes' setting, it's fantastic.

No but if you like gun sounds you should try the Armed Assault games, there are loads of mods just for changing the gun sounds.

wartapes, is this a mod?

I have not played MoH. The last one i played on pc was allied assault which had a cracking Saving Private Ryan kinda level in it.

No, Wartapes is a sound setting in the options menu, personally its much better, sounds great in confined spaces I've noticed as well

Great, found, just mindblowing. Why can't be sounds like this in every action game. I was playing the level "snowblind" just awesome.
