First, I think the update was a good thing in many ways.  The new sounds are quite awesome no doubt.  Obviously, there are some issues with some
I would hope the guys who are crying about the sounds would take some time and experiment with the settings.  I too was over-whelmed by the "in your face" massiveness of the sounds once I signed on for the first time after the update.  Once I adjusted the sounds and tinkered with the sliders, etc, the sounds are quite nice.  Also, many of those complaining are probably the same guys who covet the ability to turn their own sound down to silence and the enemy sounds up to max for an "edge up" (especially the gv'ers).

You think it sounds good when an external engine is 3 times as loud as your own engine and your own stall buffet horn is all of a sudden 5 times louder than every other sound?  Interesting take.

This is ridiculous, why would you take away our ability to adjust game sounds individually, it just doesn't make any sense to me, I mean was there some kinds issue where this was just not a doable option to give us with the new version, or was it just that you were thinking we would rather have the gaming sounds this way instead of being able to adjust them each individually?


They already explained why the individual sound settings were removed.  We already had a very large number of individual sounds to adjust, and I really liked that option but Pyro said they plan on releasing even more sounds in upcoming updates.  If they were to add the individual sliders for each of the new sounds, the rather large list we have now would soon grow unmanagable.  It's almost already at that point.  

Personally, I think a lot are way over reacting to this and give it a couple of weeks as any fixes are applied and we start seeing new custom sounds coming out.  The majority of us are using the custom sound packs specifically tailored to the old sound system and that's the cause of the majority of the sound problems in game.  Once the custom sound makers release their packs for the Miles system, you're going to see a dramatic improvement in the quality of sounds.

Until that time, I've already started to edit my sound files on some to lower the sound or increase them in others.  I've also used the blank.wav file to get rid of the unwanted sounds and that's helped dramatically.  

Now, if TwinBoom would get off his lazy bellybutton and update his sound pack...  :devil

i posted right after the update about the sound problems!
Not you Whiskey, I saw all your posts.



No offense, but you are kind of turning into a forum snob.
If pointing out the immaturity of whining like children makes me a forum snob...guilty as charged sir.  :salute

As long as you have been around and as many ankle humpers as you have following you around, I would have thought you'd be among the first to think logically and do what you know will garner the best results, then guide others in the same direction.

There's no reason to post in the bug forum when there are 3-4 open threads on day 1 regarding the epic fail of the sounds.  I don't doubt that it will be fixed, but it sounds like crap right now.

respect your initial post mostly Mustaine,

but as many many of us here have learned...... this is a new sound system.... it will "eventually" blow away the old sound system....... but as with anything new on the scene, their will be a few growing pains

like you, me and many others....... we understand this........just as well as we understand that HTC will tweak it to the best it possibly can ever be......

just need to give these new things just some time to evolve is all......... "It's getting Better, Every Day!"

i fixed it with the voice settings effect slider,,, really!!!!  not sure why but it is now just like i had it before,,, it may still be to quite for you but it is almost exactly the same as it was before for me now!

 the siren is too loud and the wind noise, but i imagine those at HTC will soon adjust that, with any luck!
