Audio mix is amateur.

As someone who has recorded at Abbey Roads and other serious studios, I find the audio mix in the beta to be extremely exaggerated. It is at least 6dB louder than all other games on the console. If reloading a weapon is as loud as firing it’s safe to say you have 0 dynamics. Smashing everything like that makes the game totally lifeless, and is the hallmark of modern amateur music mixes.

Even if it was done purposely to not make multiplayer sounds too fatiguing with the constant grenade bombardment, the resulting mix is still all over the place. The bass nearly blew up my home studio.

Please have a senior producer do some reference listening with some exceptional soundtracks to address the issue.

Otherwise I’m enjoying the game, albeit dying a bit too often.
