Much like in film and tv, sound design in games is something that is extremely important but often overlooked. Bad sound design is actually worse and a bigger turn off than bad visual design. Don't underestimate it's importance. Right now in dust, it's serviceable, but far from excellent. You need to strike a balance between realistic and artificial, as too far in either direction and it sounds boring and generic. To this day, I still think battlefield bad company 2 has the best sound design of any shooter, it sounds simply fantastic, and it takes the enjoyment of playing it to a whole new level.

It's not as important than the gameplay and constant bugs is it? Sound can wait.

It's not as If the sound designer can just switch to map construction or network debugging. You wouldn't expect expect a flight mechanic to be assigned to fly your plane if there weren't enough pilots, would you?

Good point. But if they're doing a hotfix on sound why not release hotfixes on other, more pressing matters.

Because for sounds and database items CCP cleverly built in the ability to stream new content(sound files in this case) to the client without having to change the client code. Code fixes require more that just streaming updates, so those we gotta wait for.

A much more civilized and inclusive system, thank you CCP.
