Steiner's warhorn makes no sense or connection. Kurita's attempts to have classic Japanese traditional instrumental sounds. Rasalhague sounds little better but, on the whole, they all sound underwhelming and limp.
I hate say it but this limpness is on par for many of MWO's sound effects. Throughout the game, there is a disappointing feeling of unimpressive sounds. Most of them sound public domain or student-level. Most of the ACs, lasers, environmentals, reloading and recharging sounds are just bad. Sidestrafe has pointed this out and there has been discussions on it so I know its not just a few malcontents complaining about anything they can. When I show this game to friends they mention how the weapons do not have -any- excitement except for Gauss and armor impacts and a few others.
Back to warhorns, all of them are "meh" in my opinion and part of the general expectation of disappointing sounds from MWO. My 17yo son who is training to be a game designer gets it. You have to have awesomeness and these don't quite get there.
