I'm not sure why someone felt the need to change the sounds of lasers... again, but they are absolutely horrible now, I'm getting Atari space invaders flashbacks everytime they "recharge"

Seriously, the recharge sounds are aweful and need reverted back. They sound like they were taken off of an old arcade game or something. I want to unequip my lasers now just so I don't have to hear that aweful sound everytime they recharge.

And why wasn't this in the patch notes?

Please change the sound back!

I like them.

i neither like nor hate them, but they could use a deeper kind of sound

They've been nicknamed "clown whistles" for the time being.

I am not opposed to having a sound effect to let us know the weapon is reloaded and ready to fire again, but a scaling audio tone sounds very silly to me and reminds me of the circus.

They're not better than we had before, and for many people this is now worse. To be honest I actualy DON'T want a recharge noise at all. You fire the weapons based off your own skill. They didn't need an indicator telling you anything. You, the player, ought to be able to "feel" the recharge rate of your own weapons because you play the game and know how fast they fire.

I'm actually not playing the game after this new patch because I don't like that sound effect. If this sound effect stays put, and even more things that annoy me are added, then I will probably quit the game.

The sounds are made for idiots (sorry - the typical casual mass player kid with a flat learning curve and an instant gratification attitude) who neither can look at their weapon panel to the right nor know by heart when their weapons are ready to fire again.

They are too loud, sound absolutely silly and annoying and are a shame.

The laser fences or markers at the cap points are of similar matter. Nobody would ever put up whimsy pilons that produce a bright shining laser fence like that (ok,nobody would paint the ground of a cap point the way it was before, too). In heat vision they blur vision drastically if you are fighting on a cap point, my first impression was: that's a new major graphics glitch!

All this stuff is unnecessary and it degrades the pseudo-realistic military style the game had into something that becomes more and more Unreal Tournament.
It's getting worse and worse...
