Please add a audio Option to turn off all warhorns.

especialy with the april fools and the christmas warhorn the overall audio experience off the game can be very annoying.

if people want that audio comical circus in their battle, give it to them.
but i sure dont.

i like the dark atmosphere of Mechwarroir. warhorns make that impossible.

so please consider implementing that option.

I love the Christmas Bells or Clan Nova Cat Warhorns.

But I love my clan wolf warhorn.

Everyone must hear it and despair as the howling strikes fear into their hearts.

Besides, giving people the ability to turn off warhorns kind of defeats the entire purpose of the warhorn - To announce to nearby players that you just got a kill. If they can mute your warhorn, there really isn't any point to using one.

And sure it may only be a few players muting warhorns in a game, but what if the majority do mute them? Or what if all of the players in a match mute them? In that case no one could hear your warhorn but you, which really takes the fun out of it. Posted Image

The only one I can't stand is the Liao warhorn, I think.... Whatever it is, it sounds like stock music out of a campy fantasy themed adventure game.... and has no place in MWO. It makes me want to teamkill when I hear it.


I honestly do not think I have heard every Warhorn. There are too many to hear.

I highly recommend taking a few minutes to listen to all of them at least once... Some totally suck, but there are a few that are pretty cool.

I agree. There are some awesome Warhorns and some awful ones.

Thanks. Now I know for certain it's the Triskelion Warhorn that I hate so much.... and apparently I have one because it was awarded as some random event reward on St. Patrick's Day. Is there anyway to delete this ******** from my account? I don't even care to sell it, but it must be destroyed.


Tell us how you really feel. LOL You hate it that much???

How many threads of this topic do you need? No no no no no and finnally NO!

The whole point of the warhorn is to hear it, to demoralize the enemy, i agreee some of the warhorns have absolute crap for sounds, and I don't use those but, for those that are good, the whole point is to hear them.

On a side note i'm still waiting on

Why did you resurrect it, bringing more attention to it, if you disagree with it?

Personally, I don't mind them.Some are amusing. But if someone wants an option to turn them off for themselves, I'm fine with that.

I want everyone to make the connection between my hotrod flamed Marauder and my revving V8 warhorn!!! VVRROOOOOOMMMMM!!! I guess you can tell I'm ok with themed, less than real combat simulation.

Seriously though, I could care less if others hear it.
Its a signal to me that I got the kill without reading the text on the screen.

It does seem like an obscure request to turn them off, but I guess they will only get more popular as more are given away in events. So, it COULD get annoying.

Might as well ask for a feature to turn off all paint jobs.

Warhorns have a very limited range anyway.. alot of ppl complained early on when they were first released that their range was too short to justify the cost.

I like them myself, but I see no reason not to be able to turn them off, that or a warhorn volume option? Which would also let you essentially turn it off, by turning it to 0.
