hey all

does any1 actually use sound properly in this game?

i mean cs etc sound is piss all u got to do is listen but in bf2? i really dont know if i use it or not. i spose you always know when a plane/tank is coming etc but can you tell the diff between an incoming apc/tank by the sound they make?

what about feet? is it really directional like cs?

the problem is have is that in cs when i want to know where a noise is coming from quite often the noise is directly in front or behind u. and as cs does not support surround sound then all u do is move ur body slightly and u get a better sense of where the noise is coming from.

in bf every time u move u make a noise so when u move to hear where something is i just tend to hear my own feet. and there is so much background noise half the time i stop trying to hear so much.

also i just use 2x speakers/headphones so what about true 5.1 suround does it work for shit behind u?

Not sure, althought I have an audigy card Im not using 5.1 headphones (love my senns to much to part with them)

Mani may know though.

5.1 phones tho will only give you sound from 2 sources which means u dont get a sense of infront/behind without moving your dude or unless the sound is moving left to right.

Surely 5.1 would give you the feel of back left sound, back right sound ect?

Depends on the game, bf2 does have 5.1 and maybe even 7.1 afaik. And yes I can here sounds from directions very nicely, the sound system in bf2 is awseome, although extremely loud.

i guess i need to start using speakers

I have 5.1 headphones, gainward ones, ugly but effective for gaming
