Thread title.

I enjoyed it in the balance mod - it was pretty fun hearing it from other skulks running nearby and getting aural feedback from moving at increased speed.

Y U NO include in 250?

    I think it was a placeholder sound. It'll be back in a different form. Maybe.

    Isn't it still in? I thought I heard it but I might be mixing things up with the bt mod.

    Wasn't it rather subtle? I think it wouldn't have mattered balance wise, because a sprinting skulk makes heaps of noise anyway.

    Not when he only hits the ground once every 12 metres

    Exactly. If you want to be silent, go phantom.

    It shouldn't be the case that you can go speed 10 spending most of the time in the air and not make a sound.

    Perhaps no panting, but skulks should at least exclaim "wheeee" as they jump above a certain speed.

    Maybe just increase the ground-hit-sound volume and range by 3x every time speed exceeds 10 or something? :S

    While I agree something is needed the dog panting was a bit disconnected, given the amount uwe has had to explain that its an alien, and not a dog. :-P

    Also I'm pretty sure you can hear a skulk jumping off the walls as a marine, at least you should be able to, as it was deemed a bug? As long as the range is set far enough that should suffice I would think

    Good to hear; I hope it makes it into the next patch. If it's a balance issue (too loud), maybe make it so that only you or your team can hear it or turn it down volume-wise?

    How the dog panting is seen to be inappropriate and removed, but the gorge tunnel Looney Tunes rubber band stretch effect stays in ... I don't even.
