So Will Ha Make Noise In 1.1?

<div class="IPBDescription">Bzzzt - chungng... Bzzzt - chungng...</div> I would be a FOOL to think HA making noise hasn't been thought of before, so I was wondering what the word on it was for 1.1?

I'm hoping it's something along these lines:

(Sound Level - Made by)
0 - (silent) Couching LA Marine
1 - Walking LA Marine
1 - Crouched HA Marine
2 - Running LA Marine
2 - Walking HA Marine
3 - JP Marine
3 - HA Marine

And if it made a sound effect like in the Topic Description, that'd kick <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->. Thanks for any info

    I think flayra's original vision had the HA marines soudning like mobile tanks. With heavy steam sounds and pistons and such <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->.

    I think i read somewhere on here recently that its no question of wether HA will make noices. They will eventually, but I don't know if that happens in 1.1

    Heh, you will see groups of HA moving out....while crouched. Eventually they will make it to the hive in 30 minutes, after their main base has been detroyed by Onos <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    At first, I was ready to be "I have a question. Does it NEED a sound?" But the more I read, yeah, it really should. Though it's not like HA guys are, in my opnion, as tough as the combined rez cost for one would ASSUME, but..that's for another topic.

    I think all the ideas were good, save the one about Steam powerd sounding. Lets at least have it be an /advanced/ robotic sort of sound. I mean we do have ammo packs created next to us with spotanius natine conversions, right?

    By "Steam" he means PUMPS and PISTONS, if heavy armor sound like robocop it would just be confusing. HA has soft joints that move smoothly, the sudden "jerky" robotic sound robocop has wouldn't fit at all.

    I'd assume their revamping the sounds systems to fit the tech tree that they're changing, and too make the warnings from hivemind and the nanocomputer more useful...

    current hmg sound doesn't sound like a gun to me, I hope we get a new sound in 1.1, but regardless, yea, don't use AvP sounds <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I was always amused by people who wanted louder machine gun sounds for their weapons. Militarily it makes sence to have the quietest weapons possible. Both to avoid alerting the enemy and being able to hear the enemy coming.

    I wouldnt want my LMG sound drowning out all of the ambient sounds like some people want.

    I can remember ages ago (before release) one of the dev team saying the whine of the servo motors and the metalic 'CLUMP.... CLUMP...' sound of the Aliens powerlifter is pretty damn close to the effect they eventually want to put in the game...

    ok no need to install steam whistles and a duck-bait horn on your HA's, just make them have footsteps like everybody else... It's not like they are tip-toeing into the hive with their bulky suit... it should make a noiselevel compareable to an onos but in metallic...

    The reason HA marines don't make noise is simple:

    They move so slowly, HL regesters them as walking, not running, and therefore makes their footsteps VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY quiet.

    The only solution would be to make thier suits go BEEP BEEP and DING DONG and other stuff like that.

    Well, this is pretty simple to get around. Footsteps make a noise when walking in vanilla HL, I think even when crouching.

    Yeah the Alien's power-loader sound would rock. I could just imagine a situation where a fade leaps out and claws a marine until it's almost dead. A door opens, the Fade swings around...lone HA marine standing there:

    "Get away from him you ****!"

    I've already cloaked in a lift and chuckled when some marines got in and pressed the button. I'm looking forwards to beefy HA sounds <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
