Fodder Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 I've been waiting for this game for a long time and I just hope that the sound in the full version is a little better. I was disappointed, how bout any of the rest of you? The mods for CMBO were better. I do have to say that the gameplay still is great, but the sound makes it like you're on a battlefield. Just wondering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering...Uhh, and what were you hoping for? For it to sound like you're in a delicatessen? I think the sounds are far and away better than CMBO's which were great too. All hail the Bald Mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted September 2, 2002 Author Share Posted September 2, 2002 I'm sorry..I meant to say the sound is very important to the atmosphere of the game, making it sound like you're on a battlefield. The sounds of a deli would totally be out of place, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathfinder Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 If you read the readme for the demo BTS states (IIRC) that the sounds were cut down so that the file size would be better for d/l. So the retail version sounds probably are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom TCMHQ Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 I guess all demo sounds were downsampled to 22 Khz to minimize the filesize for the demo. The sounds on the full version will be in 44.1 Khz..like in CMBO. And - believe me - there are A LOT of CMBB sound mods in the pipeline.

Just wondering...Ummmmmm, you just threw a rock at the wasps nest. You have been waiting for a long time with a member number in the 9700's and then you knock down the two biggest improvements in the game??? If you havnt noticed, all the members with numbers below 1000 who have been waiting for a long time have been ranting and raving about how great the sound is and how much better the graphics look. I personally was amazed by the improvement in both areas. What is that saying? Ah, yes. Dont feed the trolls. Chad Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spwaw Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Sound are low quality.That way demo package is small one. It was readme.txt.I hope that sound quality was only demo thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was disappointed, {snip} It says in the readme that the sounds are down-sampled, to reduce download time if that's what you mean. I kind of noticed they lack a little "punch" but I fully expect that to return with the higher sampling rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 If you troubled to read the Demo "Read Me" file, you would know that the sounds in the demo have been downsampled to decrease the dowload size. So the quality of the individual sounds, anyway, will be higher in the full version. And of course, with open sound file architecture, you can alway mod in your own sound files, and I'm sure once the game is out for a few months, there will be many sound mods to choose from. If you're looking for more sounds, rather than higher quality versions of the ones that you're already hearing, who knows? One of the things that was on Madmatt's "wishlist" for sound improvements in CMBB was "setting up" sounds for heavy weapons (i.e., mortar baseplates being driven into the ground, MG belts being pulled out of boxes and fed into breeches, etc.), and these are conspicuously missing in the demo. It is possible that they just didn't have time to add these sounds given all the other new sounds (my personal favorite is the new "bullets hitting dirt" sound), but it is also possible that they didn't include these sounds in the demo, either because they weren't quite ready yet, or because they wanted to keep the download size down. Either way, soon we'll all be eating the full meal deal. Cheers, YD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted September 2, 2002 Author Share Posted September 2, 2002 Easy Chad, don't blow a gasket. Just because I haven't posted before doesn't mean that I haven't been waiting for the game. And I was asking for opinions, not trying to tick anyone off. But thanks for making my first post a memorable one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 IMO the sounds in this demo are simply AMAZING! The screetching of the tank tracks, the MG bullets hitting the gound or bouncing off armour plates, the "Urrrrahhh!" of a human wave assault, The Maxim and the MG34 (my favourite), lots of new voice sounds, the gun sounds, the shattered glass sound of a molotov cocktail hitting a tank... Just played the Jelnia scenario again. Went down to level one view right behind an assaulted MG34 team. The sounds are so great I really got scared!

Agua Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 (***vision swimming in and out of focus***) Wow man. You're getting enough abuse in here already, but I have to ask, is something wrong with your speakers or sound card or something? It's difficult for me to understand how anyone could think the sounds in this demo are sub par. Personally, I think they impressed me heavily.

Talenn Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 The only sound effect I didnt like was the Russian ATR. It sounds a lot like a mortar and it took me a while to figure out what was firing. I hope that one is changed or has a sound mod available for the full game. Other than that, the individual sounds were great. I especially like the new tank engine sounds. And the Maxim sounds appropriately like a sewing machine.

Stoffel Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 hmm looks like I am the first 3 digit number under 1000 to react here dont think the others thought it was a big problem,but please fodder crawl back under that stone in the desert you came from. you can always go play red alert or something else which you might think is better than this game only dont spoil our time and bandwidth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMplayer Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 I love the new sound. It's scary as hell. Totally different experience than CMBO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaylord Focker Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 The Sound sounds good to me, whats with the rampant member number obsession here? One of my friends bought this game when it first came out, played the demo before it was even out, and is'nt even a member of this forum. I still think Mike should get to be member #1 and have to change his member name to All-Star.

aleader Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 hmm looks like I am the first 3 digit number under 1000 to react here I hope you're not serious with that post Stoffel, because you sound like a real dick. Give a new guy a break, moron. I'm a vet at CMBO (I'm undefeated...I'll challenge anyone if I have time <g>), and I also find the sounds in the demo lacking... downsampling or not. The sound MODS for CMBO were much better than the originals. I'm sure the same will happen with this one.
