Personally they feel very airy, lacking conviction and fabricated, rather than the sound of an actual firearm/explosive.

Bump
I don’t think your allowed to bump a thread.
OT: I think the sounds are fine.
To me they sound much more… beefy and deep. Almost more of a bellowing sound. I like it.
i love them. i actually think they are the best sounds in a halo game to date
I don’t like the sound of stickies now, its changed too much IMO.
I think they now sound like guns instead of high powered bass drums over and over, which was nice, but not really that realistic.
Just so you know OP, they were recorded using real weapons.
I find the weapons to sound weak and somewhat tinny. I hope that it was just the video quality that caused the bass to be basically filtered out.

Except that they are real sound recordings of weapons.
I think they’re the beefiest I’ve yet heard. I often wonder how anyone can think they sound weak.

sounds like the plasma launcher, i think some of the plasma weapons do sound weird, i wont lie, but i love the UNSC weapon sounds

The sound may sound lacking because it was recorded, but the weapon sounds in Halo 4 are real weapon sounds. I personally think they sound beefy and powerful.
they are ok but theres too much click clack from them
i love the sounds <3
I personally am not a big fan of the new sound. It sounds like the guy who made them never played a Halo game before. It sounds dull, it’s not as crisp or distinct as past Halo games where everything has such a unique, distinct sound. The BR sounds like a kids toy gun, the magnum doesn’t even sound like a magnum, the hammer lacks the roar and power like the hammer in Reach. The sniper sounds awful compared to any other Halo game, they should’ve just built upon from Reach’s audio because this new audio does not fit a Halo game at all. I really think the people at 343 should closely listen to the past games’ audio and work around that. The audio in Halo was fantastic there was no need for the sudden change in direction.
I love most of them so far… except the gravity hammer and sticky grenades, they dont sound like what they are at all!
Indifferent. I don’t like or dislike them.
I don’t like the BR. Sounds hollow and weak.
I also dislike the hammers lack of boom.
Most of them sound weak and artificial. Especially the magnum, sniper, hammer and grenades
I couldn’t care less how the weapons sound, they could let out a gentle meow every shot. Gameplay matters to me.
The youtube videos DO NOT give the sounds justice. Trust me when I say, that the sounds are much better when you actually play the game.
