The ScatterShot could sound WAY better!

Don’t get me wrong, the ScatterShot is awesome! The only thing I think could be improved for the ScatterShot is the shooting sound. To me it doesn’t really live up to the true power of the Forerunner Weapon. It doesn’t sound bad, but it could sound a lot more powerful like the Shotgun (which is pretty much what it is). I know the sound isn’t final, but does anyone else agree with me that the shooting sound could sound better, while still keeping that Forerunner vibe to it?

Video - Fast forward to 1:10 to hear the sound.

it supposed to be shooting “light”

but it sounds like it’s shooting Sludge from a sewage plant

I know right? Pweesh! Pweesh!

I see where you’re coming from, it needs more OOMPH. Maybe an echo added to the sound? Or more Bass? Yeah it needs more Bass and needs to be deeper.

Edit;

Dude you shouldn’t have put the option “I don’t care, I just want the Scattershot”. Every person on this forum who just wants to say good things about Halo will vote that. Which is like 70%/80% of this forum.

I think it sounds very fitting. I accidentally voted for the one that says it sucks though lol.

Sounds… wet for some reason, or maybe thats just me

YES. Adding more bass would definitely sound better! And I will remember that for future polls. :wink:

I actually have to agree with that! But it still should sound more powerful, since it is more powerful. :wink:

Personally it seems like some of the weapon sounds were toned down if you ask me :l Even the BR seems kinda underwhelming.

I agree!

It sounds more like mayonnaise IMO

So basically it sounds like ‘Wet Mayo’? pweesh! pweesh!

Yup, The Didact will have mayonnaise on his chicken. XD

Maybe something like this?

I actually like it. You feel like you’re shooting exotic heavy particles from an exotic gun that you really don’t know much about how it works.

Adds to the mysterious nature.

That’s just my opinion of course. I understand if others feel like it’s shooting sewage at people, haha.

He should have just put the options “Yes, the sound should be changed to add more oomph” and “No, the sound is fine the way it is”. I don’t get why people add a ton of silly options to polls, since it doesn’t give a proper representation of what people think, and a lot of people will just pick the silly ones for fun.

This. This exactly. I’ve been trying to put into words what the Scattershot sounds like to me, and this is it.

The scattershot looks incredibly dull like forge world’s colour palette. It would look much better if parts of the gun were floating (while held), with orange accents to compliment (that don’t only show up when shot).

This.

Adding more “hmph” or more “bang” to it, makes it too much like weapons we know about. You have to understand that this weapon is NOTHING like weapons Humans have ever encountered (Nowaday humans at least). So I think it should sound weird.

Think about it. Who are we to say that every gun ever made in all of time, and throughout the entire galaxy has to have a big beastly sound to it, for it to be dangerous?

I see what you mean, this does make sense. Do you think this will end up being the final sound, or will they change it?
