What you people think about the new sound effects on Halo 4.
AR and BR = toys they should have kept halo3’s br and reach’s ar sound effects
> AR and BR = toys they should have kept halo3’s br and reach’s ar sound effects
you got that right and i don’t like the vehicle sound effects for an example the warthog sound like a go-kart or a mortar bike and the banshee sound annoying and the ghost and the rest of the weapons sounds a lot weird. (im so sorry 343 industries for bringing this up but can you bring the old sound effects back Please)
The weapons don’t sound as beefy as they used to. The vehicles are alright, I don’t mind the vehicle sounds really. If I wanted vehicle sounds I would go play F1 2012.
For the longest time, I didn’t want to use the BR because of how it sounded. I like most of the sounds besides the PP and the BR
A lot of the weapons sound terrible compared to previous games. They don’t even sound like they belong in the same series, they sound like generic sci-fi sounds. While I don’t like a lot of the UNSC weapon sounds, some of them aren’t that bad. My main gripe is what they did to nearly all the Covenant weapons. They sound awful now.
They tried to warn us that the Warthogs would be near useless by making them sound like dying lawnmowers.
I can’t sleep at night after a new Spartan Ops. Those Fuel Rod Cannons are too loud. Halo 4 is really loud in general

Fuel Rods sound like bowling pins getting hit now.
I like the warthog engine sound - sounds alot like a 1:1 nitro engine

Its how i’d imagine a high output hydrogen engine would sound.
DMR, Carbine, Storm Rifle, Magnum and ESPECIALLY THE GRAV HAMMER, They all sound like poop. Actually, alot of things sound bad. That audio guy who cant speak english did a bad job IMO. I had high hopes for him
The magnum sounds like a rusty spring coil and the BR just sounds plain wrong.
However, the AR sounds, IMO, a lot better than it’s previous iterations. The Sniper Rifle + Headphones = Eargasm and the new forerunner weapons sounds unique and awesome.
All in all; I like the new sounds, but some of them could use a re-think.
Most are horrible. 343 seems to think that louder negates the need for sounding good.
The Covy stuff in particular sounds atrocious.

Sick and tired of people stuck in the past. The game will change. If you liked the old gun, the old style, the old maps, then go play it.
along with most the other stuff you changed, bring back the Halo 3 stuff.

You don’t have to keep things the same, but you can’t get rid of good stuff, the idea should be keep the good get rid of the bad and then add new stuff to test and see if it is good but never remove something that was perfectly good.
New sound effects are perfectly fine. I love that they have finally changed because the same thing for the past 11 years got kinda old. While some of the sound effects are bad (Suppressor), most of them are great (Storm Rifle).
They are all fantastic except for the Rocket launcher and gravity hammer. The Halo CEA rockets were the best I’d heard in the series and the hammer… goes to Reach.
Overall Halo 4’s sound effects are the best throughout the series to me. Especially the vehicles, I think the mongoose and warthog are the best though.
The Gravity Hammer in Grifball does sound really puny and weaker too
The Beam Rifle in previous iteratioms were a single bolt of electicity and sounded that way. Now it looks and sounds like a dull thick beam of light. Dont like it. Also the weapons dont sound mortifying enough. Or beefy.
The vehicles, for some reason dont have surround sound adapted to them. I cant hear a vehicle behind me at all even if its 1 foot behind me. Yet i can hear sniper and dmr rounds behind me from across the map. I cant begin to think why.
