Xbox. Footstep sounds still noticeably missing and worse than 2042
Not to mention enemy tanks magically appearing feet away without making any sounds. It’s beyond maddening dying to enemy tanks that are practically running me over before I know they’re there via the tank either shooting me or running me over. GG DICe.
I can hop on BF2042 right now and reliably and consistently hear enemy footsteps and enemy tanks. So it’s NOT my headphones or hardware.
What’s ironic and weird is the fact that on my bleed out cam I can perfectly hear enemies walking all around me. That’s WALKING, much less when they’re sprinting up behind me, barging through the door I just closed and knifing me in the back without make any sounds.
I think part of the problem is improper prioritization of sounds. Enemy vehicles should have top priority as far as what sounds do and don’t not render the loudest. Then enemy footsteps, then everything else. I can hear a friendly jet or friendly helicopter that’s half a mile away but I can’t hear the enemy tank that’s just rolled up that’s 5 feet away. This is Dollar Store sound design.
