More Player Sounds during Battle

Sarisel

<div class="IPBDescription">increase immersion</div>Why is it that all we hear are bites and some minor grunts when marines and aliens fight? It should be a much more emotional affair, since the characters are fighting for their lives.
- Make alien lifeforms snarl and bellow when they are fighting marines
- Make marines shout and curse (within limits of course) when they are being hit by aliens

This could be a good idea. I think a larger sound variety is very good idea. It actually makes a big difference, although it has to be implemented well. It the sound is annoying or poor quality it'll be annoying and poor quality regardless. (in ambience and sound effects subltly is king, in this case the voice needs to be the same)



Here's a possibe addition to the idea: different player models have different voice actors' voices.

The sound is good as it is. Swearing and grunting will just seem stupid in the eyes of most people. Especially new players.

Swearing, etc. isn't a good idea, but maybe the "need healing" noise for aliens during battle as they get shot every once in a while wouldn't hurt.

i partly agree,

think of angry dogs fighting - they growl, bark, snarl , bite ,rip etc they also whine when they are hurt - those would be the perfect sounds for a skulk.

Fade should sound something like an aligator/crocodile, deep rumbling /droning type growl

marines im not so sure about - i guess it would ok if there was some panting , grunting etc kinda like the FPS scene out of the doom movie -that was brutal, but it might be way too much / annoying
