  1. Cool video. But our 40mm mk-19 is a different weapon entirely. It lobs "grenade" type of rounds. Defensively, we used ours to cover defiladed areas. This means we had them pre-registered to lob grenades into ditches or behind small hills where the enemy was likely to approach. So the mk19 fires in much more of an arc than the bofors canon in the video. That thing is more like a canon than a grenade launcher. The mk19 fires with a much smaller velocity and has a different sound.

  2. Chainsaw,

    Yeah, I agree totally about the 40mm, it should have more boom boom in it.

    As far as the incoming, it sounded a little too odd with all the enemy rifles and mg's with the high pitched crack. Leaving the mg's, for me anyway, added a nice mix. Although I wouldn't mind redoing a few of them at some point.

    At any rate, thanks for the feedback. When I find better sounds I'll be adding those to the collective pool of cmmods gunshot sounds.

  3. Have I missed it? Or is there a quick way to assign (say a #) for differing groups / units (for quick reference / jump to them).

    In Real Time it is quite difficult to keep track of all your units by swinging around camera angles....

    And there isn't a "satalite view / map" ...is there? (outside of zooming up).

    You can navigate units by clicking the units information, but it's not intuitive enough to use regularly, at least not for me. Otherwise.... Nope. That is one thing I have mentioned in the past. I would love to be able to see all of my units on a list at a glance, be able to "group" them, and be able to jump to any unit or group. Perfection would be a mixture of medieval total war and company of heroes.

    Edit: No overhead map either. Speaking of maps, adding the N to the map like old school cm would be welcome for me. I can never remember whether the red or the white part of the needle is North!

    Edit 2: (sorry). LongLeftFlank, that is an outstanding idea.

  4. Chainsaw,

    To me, the .50cal sounds much more real. The mk19 gl sounds better to me too (I have heard those shot many times). It's not perfect, but it does sound a little closer to real than the stock sound. How did you like the red shots being fired at you? How about the grenade explosions? And the strafing airstrikes?

    Mord,

    I watched a few of the Marines videos and they were full of the same annoying sounds that I changed. The worst is the grenade explosions. They sound nothing like grenades.

  5. Why do they put Marines on Navy ships?

    So the sailors have someone to dance with!! bahdumbum tss...... O.K. I'm gonna duck now.

    ... because Marines are a department of the Navy. They started guarding ships from other ship boarding marines and then slowly became an amphibious force. Nothing but respect, but I'm a Seabee. I still gotta say that Marines are just Seabees with walking chits.

  6. Hey daft, I agree man. And there is much much more to come!

    I've been playing this game for a year now and I still love it. I'm also highly impressed with Battlefront.com. Never, with any other game, have I ever seen such great support and they genuinely want to make the best game possible. Almost all of our comments or additions to our wishlist are answered at some point. They are my favorite game makers and this is the best modern wargame of all time.

  7. Blue Perspective Sound Mod on cmmods.com

    I made this to change out some of the sounds I found annoying and added some that I felt were at least a little more authentic.

    This mod is meant to be played from the BLUE perspective!!!!

    Some of the red rifle sounds are now very high-pitched sounds meant to sound like the crack when you're getting shot at. So obviously, playing from red, the sounds would be backwards. Other than that, I like it.

    I couldn't stand the grenade explosions so I fixed those. They sounded like sugar being poured into my coffee, not like grenade.

    This same grenade sound is heard during air-strafing runs. Sounds better to me.

    Red rifles and svd have loud crack when shooting at you.

    M2 .50 cal... I was a .50 gunner and I just wanted more authentic sound.

    The Bradley gun sounded like a wet sponge hitting another wet sponge.

    A couple others.

    Mix and match, let me know what you think.
