I'm seriously going deaf. I have had it with BF2. There's so many things that are great about this game, but this one is a "deal breaker" (you can thank Dr. Phil for that crack, that's what happens when you have to many friends that are viewers). I'm not joking, I have had ringing in my ears for the last two days, and NO the volume is not that loud, it's just these repeated "Enemy spotted!" garbage that's destroying my hearing. This ISN'T EVEN the reason I'm so mad. It's because BF2's engine allows you to almost pin-point the enemy's position because the sound effects are so good. But, how the heck can you spot an enemy if you've got the moronic commander and 50 other players all telling me about some tank on the OTHER SIDE of the map!! There would is somewhat of a unconventional way that I would think you could at least dumb down these sounds. You could create a sound filter (sound driver) or something of the sort that would use a high-pass filter to filter out high piched noises (most of the voice commands are in the higher sound register) or detect when certain wav's (or mp3) are played over the system. This would have to be coded by some genius who knew what they were doing. I hope you all realize, I'm being completely serious about this. This is NOT good for your ears, especially if you're like me and have no money to spend on a good set of headphones. Most of us have to settle for whatever is around the house. I quit BF2 until I can fix this. I fear that EA, DICE and the rest are getting to big. Because they are so big, they don't need to care anymore about complaints from the players. Now we have to petition or use some other crafty method to get things like this fixed. How hard is it to have a slider than controls the sound commands volume? Honestly, how hard is that? (thinks of his own coding nightmares).
