BF2 Sound Quality

[KC-10]

OK... I have a question to go with my poll. How many people out there use the "Ultra High" setting and what phrases do you get that are different from "High" if any?

LOW,

because my sound card is farked, and will crash my PC when I load in high. BF2 sound quality isnt really anything to brag about. BF2142 is definitely a huge leap forwards in that area.

One thing is for sure, weapons in both games sound like BB guns...

i heard u can hear more sounds at the same time and like there are alot more sounds like clothing rustling or something..i forget where i read that
but high + hardware is good enuff for me

Re: BF2 Sound Quality

Gameplay > rustling of clothes.. Not that I can hear anything over the incessant in-game voiceovers.

You can hear bird singing. That was the ONLY reason I used HIGH. I really loved it when you reached the CON site in Oman and heard the birds sing. The sound was exactly the same I heard when I was a kid back in Ukraine, so that was the selling point :P

Re: BF2 Sound Quality

yeah with sound set at high, i just love finding somewhere where theres no action and just listening to the ambient noises...

Re: BF2 Sound Quality

I have X-FI so I use ultra-high hardware or whatever.


HUGE HUGE HUGE difference from the stock medium - software settings.

I have full surround sound in my headphones, and I can hear where everything is within like a 200m radius.

Re: BF2 Sound Quality

I use high on Software mode...my RealTek HD Audio 883 soundcard dies when I use HardWare...it plays sounds from all over the map to me very loudly

Re: BF2 Sound Quality

I switch between low and high depending on mood.

Re: BF2 Sound Quality

i have it on medium, after being annoyed at hearing the same phrases over and over again. but for some reason i've never tried high or ultra.

looks like thats what i'll be doing today!

Re: BF2 Sound Quality

You can only select ultra high if you have a X-Fi....Eventhough i have 1 i only use high cos it gives better FPS

Re: BF2 Sound Quality

I recently upgraded from a SB GamerX Live! (played on high) to a X-Fi

the o'l card worked great give'n me good directional feedback, 'specially while fly'n. But the new X-Fi does even a better job, allthough my own footsteps sounds like somebody following me all the time. Oh and those %^&#@*& birds really scare the bejesus out of me now every stink'n time. :cry:

Re: BF2 Sound Quality

I use medium settings. I have a question does sound quality effect FPS?

With onboard sound of course it does, higher quality = draw more resources
