Most annoying in-game sound..EVER

[machstem]

So, after having played commander mode on the demo for about 20 minutes, I realized that EA/DICE had created the most annoying, and loud, sound effect ever to hit a game. This sound? The lousy excuse for a new "commander" option, the "ion laser" artillery barrage..or however it's called (only played for a maximum of 1hr)

I mean, my GF came upstairs and told me to turn off the game, which she had never done ONCE when playing the countless hours of Battlefield 2. I hope EA/DICE realize this and either turn down the sound effect's overall volume, or just change the sound effect to something a little more docile..I don't know, maybe like a ice cream truck noise.

So yeah: congrats DICE for the most annoying in-game sound ever. 10/10 :D

Headphones?

[hobiecatter]

I think when the Titan blows up at the end is horrifically loud. I mean it sounds neat the first time, but the thing just keeps getting louder and louder and is over played I think. I still like the game though

[machstem]

Headphones?

So..have this annoying sound blasted in my eardrum, rather than on 5.1 speakers where I can distance myself..I don't think so, Tim...

But really, I have a nice speaker setup, and it's not how loud it is, it's how annoying it is. I'm saying it because even I was annoyed from the sound. :rolleyes:

You mean the EMP barrage sound? The odd loadup sound? I love it, I think its strangely sci-fi, and brings in the element of unpredictability and originality.

For example, I find it odd to drive a dunebuggy around in 2142 that sounds just like the one in BF2... I believe DICE could have done some more work with these "odd" sounds.

Without headphones the base from my speakers goes straight through the floor. AWSOME but repetative.
(The sub is set to lowest by the way)

I was reffering the the 2nd part of your post. If your GF could hear it (ZOMG...too loud)...headphones. :rolleyes:

Note: too actually add something to this thread. I find the exploding ammo boxes annoying. OMG FIX! :laugh:

thats the bit of sound i dont like now the Artillery i must say i really like it something new sounds Futuristic.

if u dont want headphones i only see one solution, kick that girlfriend out of the door. you complaning cos u dont like the sound or cos your GF kicks your A*s? ;) j/k

You know, I absolutely refuse to wear headphones, simply because you shouldn't wear any for more than 30 minutes at any given time. Even that is risky. As for the loudness, it's not really how loud it is, it's how annoying it is. That constant whoooshing sounds..

No, I meant that orbital strike, or whatever it's called.

man just dont buy or play BF2142 for the love of god.

someone said that pokemon is easy on sounds maybe you should try it.

Agreed. Even though I try to keep it on the low, constant exposure is still a problem. :(

I mainly use headphones to hear footsteps (in all FPS games generally). I wouldn't want to get knifed in the back...especially with dog-tags now... :eek:

[moltenblack]

I know what he means about headphones.I find them anoying, and yes you shouldn't be wearing them for long periods especialy if you have young ears.

Iv'e had another idea for a thread though."Most anoying girlfriend while playing 2124"

ROFLMAO!!!! :laugh:

Peronally I like the new sound. YOu are gonna have to deal with it dude. :rolleyes:

[nutcrackr]

The orbital barrage does indeed screech like nothing I've heard before.

[moltenblack]

Note: too actually add something to this thread. I find the exploding ammo boxes annoying. OMG FIX! :laugh:

The first time I dropped an ammo box and it exploded I spent the next couple of minutes looking for a non existant nearby enemy. Does give your position away if you are somewhere quietly concealed.

Well, no need to get nasty. Because I don't like one sound, all of a sudden I shouldn't buy or play the game?

As for the new Pokemon game..well, I'll leave that to you buddy.

PEACE

I would think so. You can hear it and even see part of the box blowing up (with smoke) from a distance. It's best to hold the ammo/medic box if you're going to be re-supply/healing yourself. ;)

Note: I ended up TKing a squad mate the first time an ammo box blew up behind me.:wall:

[Sir. Tasty]

Lol , turn down your speakers ^^

Hold the ammo box. Ok good point.
Didn't know they caused damage when they open.

Well, considering she's never complained once about the constant barrage of gunshots from COD and COD UO, not once for BF2, this is got to be the first time she's ever complained about "the noise" within one of the games.

Hell, this is the same GF who wanted to play COD with me, so I setup a LAN server, started up "Ponyri" and eventually was sniped in the head trying to run her over. I never felt so turned on in my life...well, that's not true, but you gotta give her that: she's a gamer at heart, considering we own a GC with over 25 games, 2 Nintendo DS with about 13 games, and plays Sims2 and other games.

So, essentially, she should have her own thread named "The hottest GF ever" ;)

me nasty? i am just trying to help you cant deal with the sound dont buy the game cant say turn off the sound cos you will say thats not fun to play with out sound bla bla.

And what’s wrong with Pokemon? They sell millions and I am sure it you can find some nice easy sound for your cotton eardrums that’s all I was trying to say.

I would have a go at Pokemon but the sound it 2 quite for my liking.:laugh:

Peace Out!!!

Now more serious buy the headphones and give it to your girlfriend. or just tell her to shut the hell up (or any other nice words that you can find) cos u can hear the Artillery with all the noise she is making ;).:evil:

Maybe she is not complaining about the sound.:p and it all boiling over.

Well, again you're trying to prove a point without making any sense. I never said the sounds were too loud, I said the orbital strike sound, when in commander mode (and most likely ONLY in commander mode) is extremely loud and annoying, considering the other noises, even the EMP Barrage, aren't nearly as pronounced nor annoying.

So, before you go about your righteous self thinking you've got something even considered slightly helpful, yet you're obviously trying to make fun, think and read before you write. I'm entitled to my opinion, and as is, I find it very valid. You could simply have wrote "I actually like the sound" as someone else did.

I think digikid said I'd have to deal with it, well, if noone else thinks the sound is annoying, then I guess I just won't play Commander mode..which is fine by me.

So, for reference, if you have absolutely nothing useful to say, don't try.

PEACE

And for the record, I never asked a question, but you felt it necessary to give me a "stupid answer"? Bravo! You've proven my point, yet again.

PEACE

[Digikid]

I do apologize if my post came off as rude. Sorry.

What I meant by that remark was the fact that even though you dislike the sound I highly doubt that they will change the sound just because a few people hate it. However it is worth a try.

Would you by any chance have a suggestion for a replacement sound?

Nah, you weren't being rude. I understand the concept of dealing with it, DICE/EA made sure we understodd that concept! hehe

As for a replacement sound, it's not really the sound that annoyed me, it's how loud it is when in commander mode. They could have toned it down just a notch.

Again, I didn't feel insulted.

PEACE

[RedDot]

The alarm that warns if you're vehicle is almost ruined... useful for noobs, but I hate it!

[Limehouse]

Headphones?

it's so much worse in headphones.

[machstem]

I think they removed that sound for most of the vehicles in the POE2 mod for BF2. When you're really used to it, and it's not there anymore, you tend not to notice it anymore.

And, since I haven't played much BF2142, I can't say for sure, but you're certain they have that same sound? I remember the garbled sound when being hit by a EMP pulse, but I don't remember the sound when my vehicle is about to get destroyed.

[Digikid]

hmm...I forgot about that sound...will have to see about that...

[machstem]

I hadn't tried with headphones, but as my previous messages mentioned, I'm sure it would be that much worse.

PEACE

[[MyIS]Spetsnaz]

That's wierd... I never notice it. The sound kind of slips through one ear and out the other.

cant ya just go into the control options and turn down the effects volume????? i already did lol.... they are kinda loud

[machstem]

Well, the other sounds aren't bothersome, it's only the orbital strike that, when in commander mode, seems to take over the other sounds. I hadn't been in a orbital strike while on foot though, so it might only be when in commander mode. Just keep your camera fixed on the target after a orbital launch, and listen.

Again, that's only my opinion. :) If there was an option to lower the orbital strike sound, I would have done it by now! hehehe

PEACE

[hobiecatter]

ONLY the orbital strike? Common, the titan elplosion is LOUD!


but then again, I'm damaging my young ears by using headphones.

I guess the main point of this thread is that DICE did not do a real good job of balancing all of the sounds out. I mean when there are two or three things that are WAY louder than all of the other sound affects in the game. We all agree (or most) that they are not really annoying, just LOUDER than the rest! Just like my YELLING!

But, we have to live with it and hope for a fix on the patch I guess.

[Maxi~]

I actually think the Artillery in bf2 was very annoying. Way too loud, gave me a headache.

Hehe, it didn't annoy me but there was a part at the very end of the artillery cycle that it sounded like someone was whisteling.

[|D|-Max]

The orbital strike is not load the Titan blows up at the end is horrifically loud

[Fabol]

You live with your girlfriend and that's the most annoying sound you've ever heard?

ok that was a lil too much

[Digikid]

LMAO!!!!!! Good point!!!!! :laugh:

[古強者死神]

Hmm the titan blowing up is loud like said in the first page but the emp stuff isnt loud to me.

Now BF2 on the other hand the game your comparing too, when artillery went off in game it sounded like it was going off in my house... massively loud and lots of base...

I love it but you definitly wouldnt. Guess you dont have as much bass as me in your sound system.

Not the EMP..the orbital. And in Commander mode.

[古強者死神]

Hmm I will check that out, I know what it sounds like as a ground troop but not as commander.
