Read the damn item description. Its a blaster; a weapon that shoots plasma contained into bullet shaped by an electromagnetic field.
The assault rifle doesn't sound like a blaster, it sounds boring. I would like for it to sound more like the small blaster turrets.

And so more people fall for the troll thread and feed the obvious troll. Obvi troll Obvi full. Personally I think the Dust sound guy has done a great job, and I'm sure he is better at his job than the OP is at theirs, if they even have a job that is. If you have ideas about what it should sound like, please post some links of something. Then that would be constructive. Just saying the person is bad at their job doesn't do any good for anybody even less so than you. You say some people should grow up, when your the one throwing a tantrum like a child over some sound files, and trolling the forums. You're either a severely immature child or a mentally handicapped adult. Either way your feedback needs more construction and far less trolling/crying.

Assault rifle that runs on plasma/energy
Tell me, when's the last time you shot a plasma weapon to know how it's supposed to sound?

At least show us a link to what you want it to sound like instead of just complaining.

Because you need to provide a BASIS to support your 'sounds are unrealistic' claim, that's why.

'They aren't realistic or gritty. They are very, very poor.'

"Assault Rifle" not "Assault Blaster".

One of your quotes I believe?

'They aren't realistic or gritty. They are very, very poor.'

"Assault Rifle" not "Assault Blaster".

One of your quotes I believe?

So what is your basis to the unrealistic claim?
I'm sure you could do a much better job than GAME DEVELOPERS right? RIIIIIIIGHT?

You said you didn't say anything about realism, yet in my previous quote you clearly did. So, mr expert game sound designer, what's a realistic sound for plasma weapons? Don't forget to use your past experience with plasma weapons as a basis, oh....and halo too.

Constructive criticism yes, not rip the damn thing apart!!
Yes I'm aware I'm a beta tester, I've been testing it since december 2011,I'm fully aware of what we are here to do, but coming out with crap like 'hire a new sound designer' is not constructive criticism, it's rude and damn obnoxious. Especially when you have no reasoning behind your OP.
Give an example of what YOU deem acceptable for plasma weapons to sound like and then maybe your argument will have some foundation.

Hi,
CCP Earworm, sound programmer for Dust, here.

Later this week we're content streaming a lot of new sounds, affecting everything from the music to the explosions to the firing sounds of many different weapons. These changes are a big step to finishing the sound and setting the mood we want.

The LAR is one sound that we've constantly iterated on since it's the bread and butter of the dust battlefield. We've gone through a ton of versions to find the right fit for the LAR, and the new version coming in this week (along with all the sweeping changes in overall sound) takes into account what you guys have been talking about here.

Thanks for all the comments!

Yoi guys should get better speakers or headsets

Ahem. Please note that the Dev never commented until the rest of the community steered the thread onto a proper course. Also please note that the community were the ones who got the OP started on actually discussing improvements. The original post in this thread was nothing but complaints without an iota of constructive input. That is all


First you say you can't believe people can be so connected to a game, then you claim to be more passionate about it than I. Very nice.

Your original post had nothing to do with improving the game, just whining about how it's being done wrong. Be glad that there are people around who steered this thread straight, else it would have been locked long ago for lack of productive content. I only said what I did because I found it hilarious how long the community had to go over it with you to get you to give up a semi-constructive answer.

Anyway, as for my view of how there are other more important things to deal with right now, I don't see how anyone can disagree that getting server stability is more important than the sound my gun is making. But to each his own.

You said, as is quoted above: "The real passionate fans are here pushing for changes that will elevate this to the best status it can possibly be at. " So, I coul be mistaken here. You are either considering yourself a more passionate fan than I, thereby saying your points are more valid, or you are saying that the more passionate fans opinions are... better than me? Have better opinions than me? Help me out here, because either way, you are propping up people as being better than me because they are more passionate about this game RIGHT AFTER you said that you can't believe anyone could be so emotionally attached to a game. Just a little confused there.

Also, I never said that changing the audio wasn't a popular choice, I'm saying that you had no constructive posts until they coaxed it out of you. If they hadn't been there trying to get an actual constructive answer out of you, the thread would have gone nowhere. Thus, they steered it. Not saying one side of the debate was controlling it more than another, just that the community saved the thread from being nothing but an unconstructive series of complaints.

So I would just like to thank you for taking the Developers away from the real pressing issues with this game so that you could get your better pew pew sounds.

Amen to that!
Nothing like better sounds to help us ignore the real problems. I hope this example shows everyone we need to report, suggest, and support the necessary fixes and tweaks. Polishing the game's graphics, sound, and similar features are for later.

So now what would you suggest they break next?

I understand your frustration, I mean when I pay money for a game I expect perect soun- oh wait...Dust is a free game, that despite it's faults (it is BETA not finished) It still probably one of the best games out there and it isn't even finished. Their doing their best and calling out their staff who are working hard to make a free game as good as other games that you pay for on little issues like sound when they have bigger ish to fry is rather harsh.

I agree the sound needs work but we all Know what it means when we load the game up and it says "Beta- Work in progress"
You could have been nicer about this topic really is all I'm saying, you sir, Owe someone an apology
