5.1 Sound problem MP (you hear someone from 2nd floor )

Post » Mon Jan 31, 2011 12:54 am

The sound is very buggy in MP (did not test singleplayer).
-you hear people walking LOUDLY from below or above you , just like they are right next to you
-making it hard to tell whether if there is a person on the same level as you or above you or below you
- the sound seems to work on a 2D level right now, where there is no below above or next to you separation. Everything sounds like its happening on a flat level without different floors

i don't know if you guys know what i mean, its a really big problem, because you can hear teamates/enemy on the 2nd floor or the the floor below you loudly just like they are on the same level, and its really hard to play when you hear stuff that is not supposed to be there. Like a teamate walking pass you on the floor above, you will hear it clearly like they are walking with you on the same floor.

I think that's a level design issue, I don't see how that can be fixed. It drives me CRAZY! I end up spinning around in circles, then get shot by someone who shows up when I'm looking for the TEAMMATE who walked underneath me. I usually hear it, and then check the radar, if I don't see a friendly, I go in to stealth.

It is a horrible effect though I agree. I think it's more of an ENGINE thing than a bug.

Thanks, this is the exact problem im having when i turn my sound on and play in map with multi levels. I guess im not the only one having this issue.
