Hey PGI... while i love the new Warhorns (especially the 'cheers/chants') from the Solaris 7 Warhorn A..... wtf were you thinking putting a 'laugh-track' into it as one of its 3 possible sounds?

Whats next? a T-bag animation we can trigger?

When i first heard it while previewing the new Warhorns, it INSTANTLY put me off. Not because i lose out in 1v1 and 2v2 matches often (in most cases i STILL have fun even when i lose to those, rather than the frustration i generally get when im on the loosing side of a 2-12 Quickplay match), but because as a PLAYER.. as a Streamer, 'laughing' at someone i just defeated is NOT something i would ever do, or ever want to have done to me.

I 'know' there are a few "giggle/laugh" warhorns out there already, but for the most part, those are like Maniacal laughter, or Impish-like laughter. And its a 'single' voice. That gives off a completely different 'feel' than a "laugh-track" filled with 6+ different voices.

The Laugh-track on this warhorn gave me the feeling as if the ENTIRE CROWD in the Solaris Arena was laughing at me loosing.

Thats NOT something you want to have any of your player-base feelling, especially with how few people are still playing MWO. And this vary well may push away any new-users who get 'laughed at'.

the laughter is just an aweful sound.
the whole idea of putting several sounds in a warhorn, that play at random is very upsetting to me.
i choose a warhorn, cause i like the sound, but now you choose one and hope to get the sound you like by random.... really bad in my opinion.

especially in this horn i immediatelly loved the "RUS" cheering (islandic soccer fans), but now this is hidden behind 2 other sounds that completely put me off, especially that laughter one.

if you make warhorns, make it one sound, so people can actually choose what they want to hear.

I like the multiple in one but but not a fan of "laugh track". 3 check box toggle just like region should fix it.

i really think the above is all the commentary needed for 'sensitivity awareness' in a PvP video game.
