favorite sound effects from old Halo games?

I love the Halo 3 and Reach sniper sound, the Halo CE and Halo 3 plasma grenade. Those are a couple of my favorites. For 343s sound team, they need to bring back the idea of making a sound effect sound classical and original…something they arent the best at.

The original Halo 2 carbine sounds, Halo 1 pistol reload and shoot sounds, Halo 1 and 2 Plasma Rifle shoot and overheating sounds, Halo 1 and 2 Elites, Halo 1 Fuel Rod, Halo 2 Grunt voices, Halo 1 Plasma Pistol sounds.

(I love A LOT of the classic sounds from the original first 2 games)

CE Sniper, Reach DMR, Halo 3 Plasma Rifle

The Elites from CE.

Reachs DMR? Sorry…ugh. I hated that sound. The Halo 4 DMR sounded much better and more brutal. Heck, I think even Halo 5s DMR sounds good compared to Reachs DMR.

The halo 2 sniper rifle firing a round. I just got that feeling that this is a powerful gun and it will takedown just about anything if used by the proper hands.

If I had to pick one, it would definitely be the sound a plasma grenade makes when it latches onto someone in Halo 3. Other ones are the whine of the banshee, the overcharge noise of the plasma pistol, and the gauss hog turret in halo 3.

I hated Halo 2s sniper rifle sound. It doesnt sound anything close to a real high powered, large caliber rifle. Halo 3 was decent with that sound effect, but HAlo Reachs sniper was GODLY. Bungie made that gun sound devastating. Also I thought Halo 5s sniper was awesome as well. Sounded sooo good.

Go take a cold shower lol. I would have to say the Halo 2 noise for pulling an energy sword out of its sheathe is my favorite.

I love the way Halo 2s opening of the energy sword “sheeeeechshsss” is compared to the sound H2A has with the energy sword. The Anniversary sound sounds like sonic when he obtains a bubble shield

The suprised/scared sound of an Elite dying. Its almost like his last thought is "WTF just happened??!!?

  • The sound it makes in Halo Reach when your shields go out.

  • The Halo 2 Carbine still sounds amazing to me. I’m still not tired of it.

  • The Halo CEA Pistol sound.

  • The original SMG reload sound.

  • The Halo Reach sniper sound is just plain untouchable.

  • The Halo 5 frag grenade. All of it. The bounce, the explosion, everything…

  • The Halo 4 Fuel Rod Cannon

  • The H2A SMG sound (both of them.)

  • The H2A Brute shot (from SP, the MP one sounds different)

  • The H2A Battle Rifle (both of them.)

Halo 3 energy sword slice <3

Well thats just me :slight_smile: Halo 2s sniper sound is cheezy. Never really liked it. Bungies sound design was good for Halo 2, but they have some guns that sound really bad. I think the shotgun, the sniper, the reloading sound for the rocket, & the frag grenades sound off from what they should really sound like. HAlo 2s sword has a sweet sound, yes. I agree.

I like those as well, except Halo 4s Fuel Rod cannon. that gun was not well designed soundwise. Halo 3s sound was the best, I think. Halo 4s Fuel Rod sounds like one of those red inflatable gym balls you used back in middle school when it bounced off the ground. lol

The Halo 3 sniper sound is edited from Halo 2’s, and Halo 2’s sniper sound is directly from CE…

Do they really sound that different, to call Halo 2’s cheezy?

Halo CE Magnum Hands Down.

I think they do, yes. Halo 3s was still a lot better. CEAs I love. I dont like quiet sniper sound effects. Its a high caliber sniper…it SHOULD be loud and definitive :slight_smile:

I haven’t seen anyone list is yet so… The OG announcer voice! I would say best from Halo CE to Halo 3, after that they put too many effects on his voice and rather than enhancing the experience it seems to have lost something.

I did forget that! wow lol. Jeff Steitzers voice is so iconic to Halo.
