BF2S Forums BF2 just got better AGAIN!

heh I know the feeling. Imagine my surprise and delight when I went from Software Low settings for sound to Hardware High with EAX settings when I got my Audigy 2 ZS just last week.  My first artillery blast that fell on me scared the shit outta me. I had to just smile after that.

Yes the sound is completely different and it's a brand new experience. I love it even more now.

Really pleased for you guys. A couple of gaming experiances that had the same effect on me:

- Okay so I have the worst crappy computers, "Age of Empires", (The first one,) was the most high-tech game I had ever played. Never played any FPS either except Duke Nuken 3D on my friend's computer.
When BF1942 came out I was so amazed at the whole thing and thought it was so detailed that the first time I shot someone I thought he was just acting. I unloaded three clips into the body and only stopped once it had vanished.

- First time I was artillery striked, (struk, striked, stry-ked?) I physically covered my eyes and hid my head. Pretty embarresing considering I was not at home, but at an iCafe.
Still, those people are too engrossed in their own gaming.

Are you kidding me?  You think BF2 is intense?  CoD2 is CRAZY.  I find myself ducking my head when I get shot at, and... just WOW.  CoD2 is SO intense...

Yeah, BF2 has it's moments.  Like when you're prone, and you see a grenade roll up to you.  You know you can't do anything, I usually just lay there and look at it... thinking "Well, fuck, this fucking suc-" BOOM!
Also, Artillery is an astounding sound effect.

ditto about that grenade.  ive gotten pretty good with typing "oh fux" right before it blows though

Not only teammates....

dont know, I have a audiogy, have never changed anything on the audiosettings, and i hear ist all the time.

It's realy usefull. Yesterday I was capturing a flag... no teammate on the minimap. Than i hear "Granade!"... a pioneer was trying to bomb me out. But only trying. Hehe.

I have the sound settings on high but i've never heard anyone shouting "Grenade!" in my whole bf2 career

yeah, isn't it usually "Throwing frag!!"

I believe the SAS guys say "grenade" when throwing one. MEC says "humbulla" or s.th. like that. That always makes me smile a little. sounds funny. 

til now, I have sound on board. maybe I should buy a PCI sound card. I hear it improves FPS too.

I loved when the BH guns went from

My computer gets a little angry when I mess with the settings, but I'm slowly raising them one by one to figure out which ones it hates.

Right now i'm content to shoot stuff that looks like this.

its sounds like me when I changed my videos settings from low to high

when you hear teammate say "GRENADE!" it means that the ENEMY has thrown it and it landed near him.  if your teammate says "FRAG OUT!", it means HE threw the grenade.  "Grenade!" means incoming.  "Frag out!" means outgoing.

all i can say is.............................(gone to try it)_

Got myself a X-Fi fatal1ty and maxing out the sound to ultra high is awesome. Got a half decent 5.1 and the bass during arty strikes really blows you away. Also the rumbling of the tank engine when you're moving along makes my whole room shake. It's a totally awseome experience!!!

Also if you're switching from on board sound to a discrete card you'll notice the game runs alot better as it takes the strain of your cpu.
