So, the default skulk taunt is now the 'chuckle' sound. This is very welcome.

However both 'taunt' and 'chuckle' in the com rose now play the 'chuckle' sound.

I don't want to offend whoever it was that put in the work to get this actioned, but it seems like a very sloppy job :/

I was under the impression we just wanted to be able to bind both/either sounds to a key, not sure what the point is with just cloning one sound over the other.


It's fun to make skulky sounds and it's fun to chuckle.

    Yuuuuuuup very sloppy indeed. I've already spoken with who got this done. It's silly and was done without me, or 90% of the PT knowing...

    Onos taunt can just be the chuckle with pitch lowered an octave or two :D

    Now we can bind 'chuckle' in console, we just basically need the skulk taunt changed back to what it was and then we're good, right?

    On a side note the lerk taunt is the best- scary sounds in a darkened room :P

    Not sure if they're sounds available for this, but the fade and onos taunts are really quiet. Skulk, gorge, and lerk all have good sounds but fade and onos are pretty lackluster.

    Skulk's main taunt is pretty bland as well. The only taunts that are worthwhile are the gorge and lerk. Even after a year, every time I hear the gorge taunt, I chuckle to myself.

    I'm happy that the taunt button chuckles when you're Skulk. Don't really care at all what happens to the original taunt, but I don't want to keep a separate bind to be able to chuckle as a Skulk so I hope that much doesn't change.

    Chuckle as a skulk seems more appropriate than the strange little growl.

    I vote to keep chuckle as the default skulk taunt!

    Huh .. You guys know you can bind chuckle to be any key at all? We can have both.

    Or feigning your death as a lerk to bait a marine ;-)

    Do you find yourself imitating it each time, out loud, for practice purposes as well?? Or am I just weird?... The looks I get when I didn't realize other people in the room with me..

    I love that chuckle is the new taunt. Laughing at a Marine every time I kill one gets under people's skin. Love it.

    Wait, that's weird? I thought it was required when playing gorge.
