What Things Does Silence Silence?

Phifth_Element

<div class="IPBDescription">What can the marines hear...</div> I just found out that silence will silence the sound of you getting healed by a DC...very cool! What else does it effect? What will give me away? They can still hear leap, right? My rule of thumb would be if I can hear it, they can hear it, but can they ever hear you switch weapons? Somethings I can hear but they can't, right?

As far as I'm aware, it silences everything <i>except</i> your attack sound. So it won't silence a screaming leap, a bite, spike shooting, claw swiping, etc.

Running, flying, healing, changing weapons, and so on <b>are</b> silenced.

Cabal

It also mutes the sound of cloaking, making silence, cloak, and regen a good combination for hit & run tactics.

FireStorm

ALL except attack sounds.

your "screen sounds" (like weapon change) can't be heared.

I couldve sworn my attacks were silenced......
maybe a 1.04 thing?

TheHornet

no attacks arn't silenced.

Wee! Gotta love silence. It doesn't appear to mute the "atmospheric" idle noises the aliens make mind, so I tend to just opt for celerity or adrenaline in the current version... although I'm not sure what's planned for it right now.

As a skulk cloak and silence is a must if you want to scare the crap out of them and kill them without them hearing or seeing you.

I usually go for Carapace, Celerity and Cloak, for when I can go Melee Fade, but I shall have to try this in a low-resource game, because I can imagine a Silenced, Carapaced skulk would be even deadlier than the little cuddly things already are <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

if the marines have no motion tracking, a silenced skulk could reall hurt them. I know I depend on my hearing a lot since MT has been disabled for a lot of the games I played, and most others the commander doesn't research it. Even with MT, a skulk staying motionless for a while can suprise a marine that is not looking that way.

i tend to not be able to kill anything when motion tracking is on cause i play on a low res and so cant see anything :/

I think silence can be really useful for lerks so the marines can not hear you flying , so you can give them good surprises.
I just found being a skulk with silence that silence doesn't silence totally the sounds of moving and such ,but it makes them very low . I used 'stopsound' once and I was able to distinguish the sound of my movements.

doesn't "stopsound" only make your own sounds stop... the other's can still hear you.. isn't it so???
