Is it just me or are footsteps REALLY loud?
As the title says, footsteps seem really loud to me to the extent I find myself looking all around for the perpetrator but find no one near. I then die to some one 20-30 yards away!

Not in a freaking tank when an enemy with C5 blows me up.
No footsteps and no noise of the C5 being attached to my tank like previous games.
I do however hear faint enemy footsteps at other times.
Reading through reddit and some people are complaining they are too loud and others are complaining they are non existant.
@zakrocz ….but you’re in a tank…?
I have tried several sound solutions for this and found that (like in BFV) using surround with DTS Headphone X and either Nightmode or Wartapes, works best for sound.
But footsteps are hit and miss no matter what setting you use. And I have the same experience as others, sometimes they are too loud and sometimes they doesn't work at all.
The same goes for vehicles, if they make any sound (which they often do not) it sounds like they are very far away, even if they are close to you.
It seems like the sound-system of Frostbite really needs some fundamental reworking. Bad sound has always been an issue for Dice (mix/directionality/distance), but 2042 feels like a step back from BFV.
