How nice are NS' sound effects?

I was thinking about whether NS sounds effects are of the same quality as the graphics. NS graphics are a definate improvement of HL since the maps look really good, and also some new GFX effects like better particles have been added. By sound quality do all the weapons have a good sounds, and not sound puny. Also by listening can you tell if the aliens are trying to jump you, or are close by. I think sound is just as important as graphics when making a good game.

 For example a bet is scary moment is when you are walking along then you suddenly hear tons of alien shrieks, and get suddenly attacked from all sides. Definately a moment which you might fall out of your seat.

    It always annoys me when my teammates are screaming over voicecomm and I'm trying to pinpoint the location of a nearby skulk by listening to the clicky sound it makes when it moves.

    Sound is excellent, and sound is important.  Each weapon has unique sounds, and each alien has unique sounds.  And they're all spectaculer.

    From what I've heard the Ns sound effects are nice, and plentiful. Short and to the point, now the spam ;D.

    Yes, and marine taunts are pretty funny, though Im not sure if I can reveal what they are (and would advise fellow PTs to also not say unless Devs do)
    The sounds of this mod are better than any mod I have played and many games.

    Small question, since the grenade bounces when it hits, does it make a noise like the grenades in UT2003 do?

    indeed, they sound like they came from SC LOL- but arn't.

    any PT's wanna mention how the map ambience will be like? also, do different floors make different sounds? say the regular see-through grails make metallic foot-steps wherelse infested ground makes squishy sounds?
