Finnally PGI have endorsed trolling. Its pretty apparent when the new war horn is a solid laugh when you kill someone. So every time you kill someone, you can laugh at their lack of skill or lack of attention or lack of something!
Thank you for finally endorse the Trolls!

I would much rather hear 12 enemy mechs collectively laughing at me, rather than being forced to endure those hideously ugly "war jingles". You know, the Inner Sphere warhorns that sound like short musical samples from a 1980's synthesizer? Not to mention the dubstep horns or the surat horns.

MWO has some of the lamest warhorns imaginable. And now we have the Huntsman horn, regurgitating that short Egyptian pharao jingle like we're playing some Indiana Jones platform game on SEGA.

I asked for this warhorn the moment they were announced:




The new one is probably the closest thing i will get.

[N0ni]

It's been a slow 4 years, but the squawkinators finally have their warhorn.

On behalf of Paul's K2, i approve this progress. May he one day pass the Trial of Walter.

[DiabetesOverlord Wilford Brimley]

Why didn't we get the MLG horn for the Reginal Finals warhorn? Nah we got a reused sound with a change in levels....

[Trollfeed]

As I see it warhorns that play on kills only exist to annoy those guys you killed. So something extra insulting is appropriate like that screaming surat. Hopefully we'll get vuvuzela or our pilot yelling insults next.

Pity that I can't stand anything on my cockpit that hinders visibility so no warhorns for me.

I put the laughing warhorn immediately on my KDK-3. That will help prompt people to write more "KDK-3 OP" threads, so that PGI might notice it sooner.

Matt Damon-like-South Boston accent voice: "How ya like dem apples?"
Duke's of Hazard-ish: "YEEEEEHAWWWW!"
Godzilla's shriek/roar (from the old kaiju movies). I believe this is even public domain.
Something like Balrog's gravely roar from LOTR
Vin Diesel as the Iron Giant-like-voice: "I am Superman!" or perhaps better "I am a gun"
Ned Flanders-like scream or just the wilhelm, even the Donald Sutherland scream (or whatever you call it) from Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Those are some of the warhorns I could see me spending money on. Several other I would like that involve profanity, that I suppose PGI would never do, as well.

Edit, can't think of any that are better "troll" horns than laughter though.

The best "troll" warhorn would have to be hands down a Wilson LeBoyce based one. I would totally spend money on a few if G1 ever let PGI buy the rights to use the voice samples.

Shout-out to Pogo for his ability to use annoying voice clips into some cool songs.

[TercieI]

If you feel particularly trolled by a silly, over-the-top, haunted house evil laugh that my four-year-old thinks is silly, well...

[Mighty Spike]

Wish i could selll the most of the stupid cokpit stuff i became with mech packages or twith events. Even for 10 cbills

The most of the horn sounds are just bu###t like the pkoenix, kickers, sonic boom and so on ...the jade falcon and wolf horns are simply horrible bad and anoying .... Should be an option for all other players to turn it off, that only the mech whos equpped with,can hear it. The most are simply uninspired bad.

+9000! I wish I could just delete them, even. When I click that 'Owned' tab, I only want to see the stuff I like. I don't want to scroll through all the dumb stuff that I won.

And yeah, it should definitely be an option to disable warhorn sounds.

Or at least trade em in with a loss on value. For example, let me trade in all those pumpkin items from last year's Halloween event for 50 cents on the dollar, or some other scheme to allow me to get items I actually want.

[roboPrancer]

This was my old kill sound for renegade, back in the day.

Haha


I for one am happy to have an acceptable replacement now in mwo

[Ryoken]

OP has a point here to me. But I also heard some folks like the new warhorn.

I also do not like 95% of the warhorns as I think they are rather immersion breaking and annoying.

I would love to sell cockpit items I do not like or have a favourite option to filter those I do not like out.

The option to turn off all those warhorns I consider immersion breaking nonsense would be very welcome!

[Otto Cannon]

If it bugs you that much, it may still be possible to change the MWO sound files on your PC so that you hear 'critical hit, ejecting' or something in place of warhorns.

I don't think you're technically allowed to do that, but if the game still doesn't detect it there's not much to stop you and it only affects your own gameplay experience.

Arent sound mods allowed now? I saw a lot of streamers using them.

[Bombast]

You think that's trolling? If they really wanted to troll, they'd include that one custom car horn that's in my head but I can't find a sound clip of.

[MeiSooHaityu]

Those war horns aren't laughing AT you, they are laughing WITH you.

[METAL SEPARATOR]

This is what I'm hearing in my head when I kill the mech.
