Hi all! I had some ideas for new Warhorns.

1) How about some that actually look and sound like historical or fantasy warhorns?

Lord of the Rings Warhorn compilation for example purposes only:



I'm thinking of something along the lines of the warhorns from Europe's feudalistic period. A Horn of Roland cockpit item would be really cool. They would visually look like a pair of horns in the cockpit, and would sound like a warhorn. Various sounds could be used to make multiple types of these horns and each could have a unique appearance.

2) Cavalry Bugle:



This would be pretty fun for Light Mechs to tote, or any Mech for that matter really.

3) Bagpipes:

I saw this one somewhere else on the forum, but haven't seen it in a while, so I'm tossing it back out there for discussion. Some pipes would be pretty cool!

4) Various Animal Sounds:

This would fall under the category of just plain silly; but it would be pretty funny, I think, if you could get a warhorn that would moo, cluck, quack, squeal, etc. when you killed someone. One warhorn could make several different barnyard animal noises, but only one per kill (random selection). In other words, if I killed someone, my horn would randomly select a barnyard noise and then sound it. Horn could visually look like a little red barn.




Edit:

5) Eerie Warhorn:



See Post #6 below for more info.

6) Sad Trombone:



RonanFrost's recommendation (see below).

Poll has been updated accordingly.

Or just very creepy and disturbing. I'd rather not see that one added into the game...

Would like to add a new suggestion for PGI's consideration: Would it be possible to increase the range of warhorns? I understand they used to have a larger radius but were cut back considerably. There's not much sense in owning warhorns if nobody can hear them, and it devalues the pre-orders many of us made.

Had an additional idea that I wanted to add to the list; how about a warhorn like this:



I recognize that there are licensing issues, so I do not recommend using the specific sound. Rather, I simply mean that, using this as inspiration, would it be possible to create a warhorn similar to it?

I need to update the poll and will do that soon. First, I wanted to give anyone else a chance to post their warhorn ideas for inclusion in the new poll.

I like the first one definitely! The second is just classic. The third is a bit shrill. IDK 'bout the fourth - seems almost demeaning to the mech (imagine an Atlas with a chicken sound, lol).

It wasn't really a warhorn in the game, it was one in the TS. :P And the guy stopped using it because he stopped playing MWO.

Ooooh! I was gonna say, I was in the Closed Beta very early on and never heard it. I thought maybe my memory was faulty or something, lol.

The more warhorns the better as far as I'm concerned... I also think they should turn the radius back up, and stop listening to the few greasy wheels on the forums...

Wanted to throw an additional idea out there for PGI to consider; how about some seasonal Warhorns? We're drawing close to Christmas now, and I think that a seasonal, Christmas Warhorn would be neat. It may be out of the question for this Christmas given the proximity of the holiday and the focus on Community Warfare's Beta rollout, but perhaps we could get this by next December?

The same goes for any other major holidays where we could justify Warhorns. I'm not adding these into the poll though since they are seasonal in nature. I want the voting to focus on Warhorns that will be main content, rather than sporadic content.

Only if it's a "Death" warhorn. IE you equip it, and whenever you die, your mech does the Wilhelm.

I really like the WOW one as that is just epic also the Halage one in the LOTR vid.

Something must be done as at this point they are virtually inaudible and pointless to have. We need an on/off switch and moar volume even if they do not increase radius I want to hear my horn at least a bit louder.
