<div class="IPBDescription">"Did I just hear onos?!"</div>What I really want to see in NS2 is very good echo system. When some onos does, let's say charge, onos makes a whole lot noise and I would love to hear somekind of little echo from it. Also if some marine with HMG starts shooting alien(s), you can hear echo from the fighting. Of course not very loud one. I would love to be marine and going with another marine, silence and peaceful but you can hear fighting, onos etc. from the far away.

    That's a fantastic idea. Have you played DOD Source? It's so cool hearing MG fire in the distance and would be an awesome addition to NS 2. I guess it's a source feature so i'm sure it could be added into NS2.

    I'd just love to hear this feature in the game.

    It would be just awesome situation to walk alone in a corridor as a marine and then suddenly hear a distant muffled primal scream echoing towards from some distant location...

    Would scare the big jesus out of me!

    Or wander around some unfamiliar part of the map, barely alive from the last encounter with Kharaa, which killed all other members of your squad, almost out of ammo, commander not responding... senses hyperalert... and then hearing a familiar "Aww man, just lost my appetite." bouncing off the walls a couple hunded meters away and you go like: "Oh, Thank YOU, Gawd! Another squad!" A relief with no compare!

    Ya, IDK about you guys, but space stations should echo like crazy <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" /> That thin ole metal should reverberate like crazy and carry the sounds of the battle going on far away in the station. Eeek! Just imagining it I get chills <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Definately a must. Sound is a must for creating great atmospheres. Think System Shock 2.

    The DoD Source echo sounds are great, I would like to see somehting like that in NS2 ( but better, of course <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" /> )

    Phenomenal idea. I remember just the normal sounds of an evil chuckle as you got onto the elevator, or the 'fight or flight' instinct triggered by the ratta-tatta of the HMG a room away.

    The echos would not only be cool just for the sensory awesomness, it'd make any fool with an HMG and no support just firing away an easy mark. Same for an onos off charging around in the back rooms.
