This, OMG This!!! hawken would be so amazing if they worked on the sounds, there are other things too, but I might just start a thread in the appropriate section about that. we love this game, but we also love what it could become, and Reloaded I believe has a golden opportunity here.

Neither was pretty much everything else in the video, but I'm pretty sure the sound effects are doable.

I like the scope in/out sound a lot better.

On the whole it's more compressed and mechanical sounding, which fits really well with the look of the game.

I like that plain white HUD and the x-hair as well.

I agree that these sounds are much better, post-production or not.

I always felt the SMC, especially, could use a beefier sound.

This video made a mess in my pants. It was like: "JizzZZzzzZZzzzz".

 

The weapons sound like they can destroy anything. When something impacts your mech you can HEAR it made some major damage. Heat cannon sounds like a fuzzy bunny tank. It's not just immersive, it's gloriously bassy and powerfull. I want to hear the pilot of the mech going deaf because somebody had shot his/her mech point-blank. Also the some distant fighting sounds a muffed, which gives a good sence of scale as well. Give me those meaty bass sounds!

You can turn off music.

That's one solution.

I think my absolute favorite sound in hawken currently is the sound of the sabo. Especially when you shoot it with no other noise making things around, you can hear the crack of the shot echo. It, along with the breacher also make in my opinion one of the most threatening sounds to a pilot who is hit with one. There is just something about both of those sounds when the shots hit my mech that makes me go "fuzzy bunny fuzzy bunny fuzzy bunny fuzzy bunny," internally.
 

A direct hit from an eoc barrage however, can sound as light and gentle as a summer's breeze. All of a sudden a huge chunk of my health is gone with very little warning if other audio sounds are present as well.

DOOOD SOUNDS

 

Kind of related - this is why Battlefield is better than COD.

 

If we had some thick bass Hawken would be soooo goooood. and also if the sounds vary at different distances.

 

When mechs get hit they should make some loud sounds cuz cmon, metal on metal. es hard bro.

 

EOC would be relatively quite tho, unless u get hit by one then its like AJSLKNDJNDBDILIUOJINENMBOOOMx6

 

Sound changes everything.

Ya know what? I will give an actual response to this, though I know this complaint reached meme status before ADH went under. Honestly? I want this shite. I had the misfortune of getting involved with Hawken in 2014, around the time of the last patch. Current Hawken still maintains the spirit of the thing; it's what I fell in love with. But god damn is the overall sound of this video awesome.  Idk if any of these sounds were ever in game and frankly I don't care, because they need to be.

Sounds can be really resource intensive and probably affect game play for some. Sounds could use some work for sure but I am pretty sure hwk is producing a lot of unneeded audio. I believe all the background map sounds and all the unneeded ones like your waist twisting sound continue all the time. Maybe those sounds should stop  when battle begins in the interest of optimizing game play.

 

That's not to say other  cant be improved on.  But the file sizes should be a priority. If the devs allowed it I am confident the community would have kick ass sound packs available. Same thing with skins. I doubt that will ever happen here.

Very cool.
Sound and skin packs sound awesome.
I think more customizations as such would be readily applauded by the community.

Better sound also means bigger file sizes, so the game overall would take more space up on hard drives.

Thats a consideration too.
