I agree with the sound system being unrefined. Several people here mentioned this multiple times though. So let's just hope id takes the comments seriously.

Also if you're a beta-participant you get a survey via e-mail where you can give input to the current state of the game. While there is no direct sounds reference made in the survey, it is something which you can mention in one way or another.

QC has good sounds

You just want hear everything- this is another game simplification

Yeah, having the monitor turned on is a game simplification. :D

LUL

Whatever!

I liked the sound effects a lot actually but that announcer voice is so cringy. It might sound better if you can turn off ambient noises and the player taunts though, hopefully there's options for that

Exactly what popped into my mind b4 I opened thread ;)

The main problem seems to be the overall mixing and leveling. Sometimes you just can't hear a person firing next to you, and that's given a pair of pretty good headphones with corresponding audio hardware.

Maybe you need new gaming chair?

chair food

I actually don't know any game which has worse sound, and that makes you doubt the overall competence of the devs to create a competetive game(like they can't come up with something worthwhile by themselves).
This right now is not (closed)beta worthy, where sound should be close to the final product, and if this actually makes it into the final version, i surely won't play it.

So the whole beta is also kind of pointless right now, because you can't balance weapons and abilities ect., when a fundamental aspect of the game is broken and therefore makes for a huge inbalance by itself.

reflex?

In Reflex you can tell if something is happening on the right or left side.
In QC everything is happening at all places and times.

QL is as bad. We just got to used it sucking.

If you don't know the map in and out, the positional cues are often confusing in QL, but at least you can distinguish alot more what's going on(i already hated the sound in QL very much, but compared to QC it's like heaven).

true

ql had the worst positional sounds, but after long playing hours we learned somehow to understand them.

now, QC has even worse sound (if that was even possible). I even use the monitor's speakers when I play and don't bother to wear expensive headphones, because it doesn't make the slightest difference.

ql was and still is an awesome game and its weakest point is its sound. Meaning, it's an area that allows for huge improvements and they haven't done anything in that direction yet in QC. I hope they do, because unlike the game features that are matter of preference, the sound objectively needs to improve.

having said that, I really like QC and I think it will become a success. Even if it doesn't become big, I enjoy playing the beta and that is what really matters to me (to have a good time).

lots of sounds doesnt fit at all e.g. RL
you wont recognice it as a RL sound if you close your eyes and just listen

I'm kinda new to the surround sound. Just bought Ss headset last weekend and tested all my games to compare. Q2 had decent surround. Reflex was just horrible. Doom was incredible. Cod black ops 3 was decent. QL was good enough. Qc was full of sound and i didn't find myself annoyed by any of it, but with standard stereo headset I HATED it which is how I feel with all new games.

I can hear each individual sound with 7.1 surround and am not disappointed at all with my purchase.

first game that made me create an equalizer setting just so i can hear sounds relevant to gameplay

quakeworld has perfect sound. so i dont understand how to win in qc when i cant hear opponent. i play with mp3 now.. is same same
