The Differance One Sound Makes

RyoOhki · August 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">*clunk* *clunk* *clunk*</div> Since playing 2.0, one thing has struck me that has remained true. With the new HA walking sound, you just sound so much more hardcore. You feel like you can take on anything, that you are a slow moving engine of destruction. Now 2.0 didn't change how HA worked in any way at all: you're still just as tough as you were in 1.04. But darnit that one sound just gives you so much extra confindence! Give marines HA these days and they think they can achieve anything. All it needed was one little sound. And what a sound it is <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Well, truely, the sound of your own steps on the steel corridor grounds makes you feel like you have cold fire running in your veins and makes you feel as cool and confortable as your armor is thick and almost-unbreakable <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

But still, you now are able to warn every aliens nearby that you are coming even before they may see you. And I mean, from very very far away <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

So far away that those said aliens may have the time to evolve to Onos before you reach them, and they may even have extra few seconds to spare in order to consider wich sauce will be more appropriated with their incoming Heavy Meal Menu <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

...

LOL! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

I always LMAO when I read the sig of this other guy (forgot the nick) saying "You just got Happy Mealed!" but the Heavy Meal is also a good one <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

I just can't stop imagining right now a Mc Kharaa FastFood and a Onos saying:
"Hello Fattie! I would like the new lvl3 Heavy Meal Menu, along with Vanilla Flavour please! Oh! and don't hesitate on the Cannon Fodder..." <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Heh, but what happens when your Ctrl is duck and you hit the Windows or that other key to the right of it (whatever its called)? NS minimizes, you lose sound, you swear at your keyboard, you go in, you say "**** *****!!!! My ******* sound is ******* gone cause I hit the ******** !#%@% WINDOWS KEY!!!!!!!11111111oneoen" heck, it happens to me.

I also enjoy hearing the "clunk clunk clunk" of HA marines, but thats usually because I'm usually the Onos that does the "Happy Meal"-ing.

Oddly though, in many instances I couldnt hear the HA footsteps, and I hadn't done anything to mess with the game, like minimize the window.

True, the heavy moving around is dawnting to the aliens and makes you feel powerful <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

This is EXACTLY the mentality that turn that team of HA into fried molten onos turd.

Something about the new sounds don't work for me. Just not realistic sounding I guess.

Unknown · August 2003

Well the game is trying to immatate anything of what is the future, only one can imagine what it would really sound like, but it does it best. To me the sounds are awesome and fit perfectly

use shift for duck

less strain if you duck a lot

besides, in HL you don't need such hardcore duck pwnage that you will mess up your movement by changing the keybind, even if shift is right next to ctrl

*bangs head against desk*

The HA sounds sometimes don't play. It's a know bug. That's what I was referring to.

hmm..

Than theoretically, if the ha sound was turned into a soft squishing noise... and you made it so the more light marines were together the more they sounded like an engine of destruction, that would encourage early game teamplay <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

ok, I guess I can dream @_@

The HA´s become silent when they have level 3 armor upgrade. It´s a known bug.

Press Esc, then click on Resume Game.

There you go, your sound is back.

Harhar

Just slaughter your windows keys.

You take a screwdriver, a crowbar or anything and pop! no more windows keys. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif'>
