Okay...

the sounds themselves aren't really the issue...well, why are they sooo different from the Pulse laser recharge? Why not go more in that direction. What just seems completely wrong and annoying is that the recharge time is louder and (naturally) longer than the laser discharge itself.

There needs to be some slight muting to the recycle SFX, it's too damn loud. The implementation here just seems very poorly executed when compared to the other recycle / reload SFX.

so less pew then?

The medium laser recycle sound reminds me of the sounds some pinball machines make.

I want MW3 laser sounds.

[KingCobra]

Here is my answer(THEY SUCKKKKK ASSSSS) and give me a head ache.The sound reminds me of a sick arcade machine that the power is about to go off .

[wrestlerjrh]

balancing issue, they are trying to nerf lasers by making them too annoying to use

[Warrax the Chaos Warrior]

I really like having the audible cue for regular mediums like we've always had for the pulses. As for the specifics of how it sounds...

Doesn't really bother me, that's inner sphere tech for you

Yes they are. They are absolutely horrible. I hate posting complaints on a forum, since that seems to automatically take something away from the argument, but for some of us these new medium laser recharge sounds just kill the enjoyment of the game.

If there were some way to just delete the sound file, disable that particular sound in config - any kind of workaround, I'd be happy. My opinion isn't universal. Some like it, some don't. I'm not asking for total removal of the sound because *I* don't like it. But for those of us that do not, please please give us something to help out. Turning off all sound isn't really practical. That kills enjoyment and immersion in the game. This (highly) annoying sound frequently coming through the speakers achieves that same end. To me, this is akin to fingers on a chalk board. Ok, not that bad but it's in the neighborhood.

I won't be playing my (current) favorite mech - 4ML + Gauss Flame - until something is resolved. I'm going through and trying to find mechs/builds I'd like that use pulse lasers. It is somewhat surprising that something this small and simple can have this (almost disproportionately) large of an impact.

If you use a good audio sound system like me, The laser recharge sound is super loud and very cheesy sounding. If you use a head set then the sound is slightly less annoying. But basically it is the only sound that distracts you when your playing the game.

[Harb Ringer]

Hearing this sound more thant few minute, almost make me puke litteraly...so yes, ithink you can say it is really an issue for some people...

[Lycrin]

Just goes to show that some people will complain about anything.

I use two simple pc-speaker and it's still WAY to loud. Like I said in another thread: I think I could get used to the sound if it wasn't just so damn loud and intrusive.

i barely noticed it.

[mekabuser]

THE POLLs have already indicated that everyone, the vast majority hate what they did..
Whats odd is that up untill now sound has been the A1 best thing this game has implemented other than the honorable FD and his masterpieces.

I would hope they address it.. I would hope you ask the dev guys ask . why? and when wil they change.. Otherwise.. we will have to make threads every other week untill they fix it.

We have to be pita about this.. Otherwise its a bit of a slippery slope.. or accepted behaviour. Once you accept something crappy once, well.. everythings fair game at that point..

I suppose this is one of the nice things about F2P// Feedback can actually fix things that are fubar.

[Alekzander Smirnoff]

Sounds are OK to me, but after a while I think its going to drive me nuts.

However I'd love to see some brass eject from a chasis... like a huge AC/20 casing falling out of an atlas would be epic.

[Voridan Atreides]

I don't like it at all.

[mechymike]

what a surprise, MW fans aren't happy with something new... huehuehue

[Khanahar]

Quieter at least would be nice. But frankly I don't like the new sound at all.
