Terrible Gun sounds

Why do all of the guns sounds so bad in halo 4. I mean what are they all pea shooters (they go pew pew pew.) It literally sounds as if it was up to one guy to amke all of the sounds and he only had one tuning fork.

your thoughts?
Discuss improvements?
Heck discuss how you feel about the gun sounds?

I actually like most of them. The only one I think could use some work is the Magnum, it sounds weird, other than that, I think their fine.

Eh I think the DMR does not sound so great and I think I prefer the BR in Halo 3 better, but I think some guns are much better. The AR sounds BEAST along with the Sniper Rifle and Shotgun.

They sound suppressed and -Yoink!-, maybe your mortal ears aren’t fit for such glory. And the sniper, shotgun, and definitely the rockets sound absolutely orgasmic.

I concur…oh and the Gauss hog in this? WOW! Sounded AWESOME!

My thoughts.

I enjoy them. I’d imagine that 500 years in the future the guns would be quieter.

Pew pew pew. You are dead.

Ironically they recorded real guns shooting to get those sounds

Sci-Fi game = Sci-Fi sounds
that is all

These threads surprise me. I think every gun in the game just sounds fantastic. They all sound crisp, clear, realistic, and not “clunky” like in Reach. I don’t see how you think they sound like pea-shooters. They were recording from real, actual guns firing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmNMecShIRU

I disagree. I think they sound great. The sounds have a lot of bass to them and makes the guns sound powerful. I can even hear bullet cases clattering on the ground, which I don’t really recall hearing in other Halos. Listen to the ingame footage with headphones, it may change your mind.

I think it’s better than the “bass-less” and powerless sounds from Reach, although maybe they sound boring now that I’ve heard them for 2 years now.

I disagree, I like the way most of them sound. I prefer the H3 BR sound over the H4 Br sounds but whatever.

Anyone hear the ghost… WOW it sounds EPIC. Best ghost sounds in any Halo game.

The audio used were recorded from actual weapon sounds. Also, online video quality doesn’t really do sounds justice at all.

I’m fine with all of them so far .

And im sure some might be tweaked before the game drops

The Magnum sounds like a semi Automatic staplegun :frowning: (massively disappointing compared to Reach’s.)The BR sounds Tinny and weak and the Plasma pistol sounds to human…But other than that I’m loving the sounds.

Reach’s still sound much better.

I wonder how many people criticizing Halo 4 gun sounds have actually fired real weapons before.

When Ghost Recon Future Soldier came out my friend complained that the 45T sidearm didn’t sound like “an actual pistol.”

Number of Hours at Fire Range: 0
Number of Hours around Firearms: 0

You can’t explain that, Bill O’Reilly.

You… The new sounds make it sound like Halo takes place 500 years in the future.
Pfft that’s dumb Halo happens right now and therefore the guns must sound like toys!

/sarcasm.

The only sound I don’t like so far is the Gravity Hammer. It sounds to weak. All the others sound friggin’ amazing!! Maybe you clicked on a Black Ops 2 video and didn’t realize what you were watching…

I like the new sounds. Previous Halos had guns that had more of a Pow where as these have more of a clunk sound to them. To me the clunk sounds deadlier and in general better
