Duke Nukem Plays Battlefield Bad Company 2 (Youtube)

Headshot scripts are kinda cool I guess.

It's amazing. I was in a 4 story highrise building, the 2 towers on arica harbor conquest. I was in the bottom and I could hear an echo of a guy reloading his noobtube. It was clearly an echo, I don't think I have ever heard anyone reloading, you can hear them fire, but not reloading it's too quite. But with wartapes, I could tell he was in the building. I went up to the 2nd floor and he was crouched in a corner reloading his noobtube again (I heard him fire it as I was going up the stairs), so I knifed him.

I have always just assumed you and everyone on TPU used War Tapes.

I just used my spider sense.

I don't, it sounds awful

Your listening to the wrong war, try something besides dubya dubya 2

 

[blu3flannel]

Mine does too, but only because Win7 is throttling the performance of my headphones and I don't know how to fix it.

came across an annoying hacker tonight in Valparaiso, sitting in the lighthouse with the F2000 shooting full auto across the map, killing people left and right (mostly head-shots). He finished the round with something like 115/5. On a previous map, he was stat padding, he only had something like 20/10 but he had well over 12,000 points (highest legit player only had around 3500), not bad for being a sniper every time i ran across him (and it wasn't a level with vehicles, so he wasn't repairing nonstop).

I didn't know (and don't know if) Wartapes is something more than a kickass equalization and reverb, etc, never heard that it ADDS more sound sources... But I use it anyway And yes, you can hear many little details that are crucial, like steps, bullets falling, snow or wood crunching and as Kurkan says, all kind of weapon noises. Would it be strange to omit them in other sound modes? Who knows... But it sounds fantastic both with 5.1 (and yes, spatial directional sound positioning seems a little underimplemented) or with headphones. No W7 problems here.

the wha?



wartapes just makes certain sounds louder that would normally get drowned out, like footsteps.

Try turn the volume up. No not that one, the other one. The one that controls Windows output in the control panel under sound.

And I played with and without war tapes. The sounds are not just louder, they are different. Guns being fired, buildings coming down, explosions, etc. all sound different and more realistic. I honestly don't know why it even has an option to turn it on or off. Its not like it affect performance.

 

[Bjorn_Of_Iceland]

Wartapes does affect performance. Its just that your machine is pretty fast you wont notice it . Everything is done through software with an over abundance of reverb effect.

War tapes is just a bunch of cheesy reverb processing...the strength of BC2's sound is what's recorded imo.

 

[erixx]

And Kurgan -who started this- a n00b that never before heard an enemy in close range upstairs

 

[Bo$$]

shame on you!

What do you mean?

I'm not gonna lie and say I know a ton about sound recording processes, because I do not. But all I know is, whatever I played on before, I was not able to hear echo's while in buildings. Now I can hear people reloading that are on different floors, and other crap like that. Thats a huge advantage.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

less typing more killing get your candy asses in game grunts time to shoot some noobs

You said it yourself:

You started a microthread about sound, mate

less typing more killing get your candy asses in game grunts time to shoot some noobs

LOL yeah!!!

 

[1Kurgan1]

Ah I got what your saying now, but I can honestly say, lets go a round and see who comes out on top. My sound settings never allowed me to hear anyone on any floors before, and I average over 3.0 KDR almost all of yesterday with the new sounds, so why through insults when we can throw down for a fun game

I'm an instinct player, I maybe never took the time to hear before. I get asked a lot how I knew someone was there. Like highway, I'm always shooting right before he turns a corner for me. So he turns the corner already catching bullets.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

good then shut up find a server so i can spawn on you and rape noobs with my shotgun

*hail to the king baby* and dont forget kurgan my K/D wasn't *1.75avg* godly like yours but i raped noobs like no ones business yesterday

Yeah you were owning it up, but you missed my numerous 28/5 matches I'll play a few rounds here, should really be doing college work though.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

blah blah college work blah blah dont you know you got spark notes and google for that shit

Hey hey hey. Don't use me as an example. I am still king of BC2 until you take your crown back. No need to insult me about it.

It's getting a little warm in here...

Damn man as for War Tapes I guess I gotta try it out more tho I usually have to play with headphones cause I'm a sad SOB who lives in an apartment in way too close proximity to way too many other people. Though now it seems it's debatable whether or not it really provides "better" sound.

 

[Ross211]

That Duke Nukem video made my day

 

[1Kurgan1]

So I just destroyed an enemy chopper on Atcama with landmines, and no this was landmines under an ememy chopper spawn, I destroyed the chopper between B and C. Hilarious.
