<div class="IPBDescription">What do you want to hear in NS2?</div>I was reading through the post on marine morale/fear and listening to all the suggestions about what you want to hear the aliens and the marines doing when they are scared/victorious/dying and it made me think, what sound effects do you want to hear in NS2?
I would personally like to hear a couple of good death screams and yells from the marines, I mean come on, if you just got ripped into shreds I think you would yell out a little more then the death grunt that currently exists. Of course, I think having a marine screaming in your ear over and over when your losing would get annoying too, so I don't think it should always be a death yell, but it would be hard to top advancing down a hallway to a place you thought was nice and safe in the hands of your teammates only to hear a scream echo down the hallway and wonder if you should rush up and help or if it's too late and you should run like mad back to base.
I would also like to hear some more taunts for both sides. It would be nice if you could have a different taunt for each alien (let someone keep the chuckle though!!) or just different kinds of chuckles for different aliens. For the marines it would just be cool if you could have a couple of different voices, and when you taunt it randomly chooses a voice set and stick with it for that life, making it seem like your a group of different marines rather then the generic army.
Finally I would like some good atmospheric noises, just some small things to match the environment, like the hum of electronics and machines, water dripping where appropriate, tv's and stuff left on when the aliens stuck, and whatever else might be left around a space station. Nothing big or intrusive, not even loud enough to mask other noises (like that skulk coming to eat you) except where the mapper might want that to happen.
Obviously some of this stuff is really unimportant to NS2 (IE the chuckles) but I think some good sound effects could really help with immersion.

Well dunno where it went ^^
But things like that raised the atmosphere.
Also the fade that made noises almost all time ^^
Would be nice if hes making noises for reason and not just because of random time event.
Your idea with adding some enviromental sounds sounds nice to. Well i would just watch all day the monitors that just view some changing stuff. Like temperature stable - checking this and that... - recieved new information ...
or maybe some gimmiks like watching the monitor that starts getting red and tells you "unknown lifeforms detected" and you like "WTF!? oh my god!" and you turn around and there is a gorge sneaking around just wants to get away from you as fast as possible ^^
or just some help messages that repeat all time "mayday mayday kharaa controlling the ship now we need heeEAEAEA *GRAH* *DIE* " would love those things
well yeah its to much.
But ns_machina is a so mofcking nice map. well balance problems but the style and the atmosphere is incredible.
This way.
All clear.
