Its funny how in this game everything that is not relevant to gameplay(drooping sounds, respawn sounds, the npcs on storm point, etc) can be heard better then footsteps that are relevant if someone is close to you. Changed audio settings, changed headphones, nothing improved, sometimes I cant latterly hear footsteps from all the noise that its not that relevant and its too loud.
It would be nice to have more audio settings that can be adjusted to lower or disable audio effects that are not that relevant as footsteps or by default those environmental sound effects to have a smaller volume then the footsteps or as someone said here, to have some icons on screen so you know when someone is close.
