<div class="IPBDescription">sounds like a load of ****, no pun.</div> I've just been informed that turning on A3D is cheating. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->? how so? all it does is replicate what you would hear from a 5.1 system. or is having surround sound cheating too?

this assault on my sound-based integrity stemmed from a wonderful post about how to take down the mighty alien RT. i know, the shaking motion it makes is intimidating, but i suggested knifing it, and when you hear an alien coming, you shoot it (the alien). apparently some people can't hear the pitter patter of bare bone banging off of a metal floor, so i suggested they use A3D. and now i am told it is cheating. never heard of it.

i also have a mouse with four buttons and a wheel, so kill me. if a3d were really considered cheating i would think that CD would pick it up, or that someone would have put "s_a3d 0" into the server configs by now like it is with sv_cheats.

    Well... I heard something like this myself. The problem is not the positioning thing, but due to HL problems you can hear things from much further away than with another system.

    That's why its considered a 'cheat' (I think)
