Appreciation for the incredible audio in BF 2042

I honestly have zero idea if - ANYTHING - from here gets to the devs but, it frustrates me terribly, if they would think certain things about BF go unnoticed or unappreciated or both. As a LONG time...

While the sound is undoubtedly better than it was at launch, I can't agree with this.

Sound in 2042 is muddy and overly compressed. The dynamic range is limited, which makes it difficult to hear footsteps and other environmental cues when playing. It's possible for a tank to sneak up on you in this game.

@filthy_vegans Gotta agree.

BF-games have always sounded good, but have had issues with missing sounds (footsteps, vehicles etc). BF1 and BFV improved things a lot though.

2042 is a step back from the previous games and the audio is now pretty worthless for anything else than the 'cinematic feel'. Footsteps are like BF4 (almost non existent), any sense of distance is totally lost and vehicles are often almost silent even when close.
