Why can't you hear enemy footsteps or vehicles
The sound in this game is the worst in the franchise. I'm having a hard time hearing vehicles when right next to me, and footsteps... forget about it. Did anyone have suggestions?

- @Kona_uk Tank just got me like that last round like. I thinking that the tank should have been the only thing I heard. Maybe they’re game testing the new stealth tank.
- @SleepyWeasel68 If I had a dollar for every Bolt that road killed me with no warning… well I could buy a sixer anyways.

Now the constructive part of the post. EA fix yo stuff.Yeah I have been spooked by my own footsteps many times, sadly not so much the enemies though.
I’ve been away a while and recently started playing again yesterday. Wow wow wow the lack of reliable sounds on this game are horrendous.
Tanks magically appear 10 feet away without making any sounds upon approach. They just seemingly materialize out of thin air. Often the only warning I have that a tank has appeared behind me a few feet away is getting blown up by the main gun.
Footstep sounds, or lack type of!! I get better quality and more reliable footstep sounds and better situational awareness playing BF1. A game that’s nearly a decade old.
PS5, headphones, and it's always been like this
Stealth tanks, no footsteps, loud footsteps, and then times when I hear everything, it's like the focus in sound is breaking down somehow. I had this in BF4 at times also. Maybe the sound engine is touchy.

I totally agree, tanks appearing behind you out of nowhere is happening way to often and is totally unacceptable.
You don’t hear them half the time because lots of vehicles and players seem to just materialise out of thin air
