katipo66 94 Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) So I've finally jumped online to test out the MP (insurgency) and so removed all mods accordingly... The 2 things that stuck out were the smoothness of gameplay just as everyone has been raving about, awesome. The other was the embarrassing AK sounds, it's just a tremendous let down... I can't explain the disappointment I feel when firing from these weapons. Edit* Ok seems i am able to use sound mods in MP on some missions, i was always under the impression you could'nt, obviously i dont MP much.

Beagle 684 Posted January 9, 2012 I own a .22lr carbine that has a beefier sound compared to the AK-74 in ArmA. The ArmA Ak-74 seem to be recorded from a .17 BB pellet gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maturin 12 Posted January 9, 2012 And the AK-74 is one of the loudest small arms in the world. The hearing damage it causes to its operators is a serious issue in many militaries. So why they held a microphone up to a chopstick and snapped it in half is beyond me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellfire257 3 Posted January 9, 2012 AK-74 - I agree AKM- I think that one is fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purepassion 22 Posted January 9, 2012 Try some soundmods, that's what they are made for :p You can try to raise your ingame volume. This adds a more "beefy" feeling to the weapons ;) Other than that I don't think there will be changes to this aspect for Arma 2. Concerning sound, Arma 2 uses mostly sound libraries by third party companies. Next to that I also agree some sounds were not quite convincing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katipo66 94 Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) That's the point, I always use a sound mod, But you can't use soundmods in MP? Or can you!? And to be fair I actually don't mind default sounds, I even think some are quite good... Except for the Ak. And because I predominantly play Opfor I just feel like a substandard spetnaz/Takistan/insurgent running around with a cap gun. I think they should improve it, if they use sound libraries from 3rd parties then there's gotta be better options out there.

Laqueesha 474 Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) It's not just AKs, most of the weaponry in-game sounds like rubbish. But, this is easily rectified with soundmods. Edited January 9, 2012 by Laqueesha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icebreakr 3159 Posted January 10, 2012 AK in vanilla sounds like hamster pooping. Dunno how they managed to do that. p.s. I shoot with AK on a regular basis :] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katipo66 94 Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Ok i dont MP much, i didnt realize i could use sound mods in MP in some missions, but seems i can thank god! Yes all the weapons are maybe not up to scratch but the AK is just... friggn abysmal!? and when using a sound mod for a long time and then hearing default just makes it worse. Please BIS go and record two bits of 4X2 hitting each other and use that, seriously that would be an improvement! Edited January 10, 2012 by Katipo66 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
igneous01 19 Posted January 10, 2012 I use sound of anders mod and I love the ak sounds in it, to me the PKM/RPK/PKP have an excellent sound to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
