Good sound can really give you an edge. When you can hear every sound around the battlefield you aren't often taken by surprise.

i got some nice headphones that have good directional sound i think they give you an advantage over someone that is using just the 2 speakers on thier computer

i use ultra but hear no difference so i use high. with xtreme gamer x-fi. i'm assuming that ultra uses a little more of your resources like cpu so i'm fine with high or even medium at times. i barely notice anything.

Ultra allows 128 different sounds i believe.

I have an X-Fi Extreme Gamer myself, and I don't notice much of a difference between High and Ultra High. Either way, the sound quality and directional accuracy is superb. Since U.H. probably uses dramatically more resources, I leave mine on High.

Folks that have commented as such are quite correct - good sound is a very overlooked advantage in this and any modern game. Games that do it well, like 2142, really give an advantage to those with the hardware to leverage it.

i know that, but while i can tell the difference from medium (32) to high (64), i can't from high to ultra high.

I know you can't, it's marketing. It makes nowt all difference, but at BF2's release, people went out and bought X-Fi's.

Weapon sounds are a lot different for me on ultra high quality.
