Weapon sounds too quiet?

[synystr 118]

When you compare the distance you can hear gunshots in the mod to the SA, there is a massive difference. I wasn't able to hear my buddy shooting his M4 200 metres or so away. Was this intentional?

I'm hoping they really up the volume on them. They are so damn quiet, more in line with what a suppressed M4 would sound like - carries in the wind like a .22 or something. I really enjoyed being on one end of Cherno and hearing a shot in the distance knowing someone was in there somewhere. Now it is ridiculous. A friend shot in the 1st floor of a building across the street and I didn't hear it from the second floor a couple houses down. Dafuq?

I'd love to hear the shots echo and ring out more from a distance.

Yes, I agree shots aren't loud enough.

I don't think so. It should be ironed out in future patches. I would like for them to be realistically loud.

Agree, gunshots need to be way louder.  Also, I think there should be a deafening effect if you're close enough.  I've shot an M38 Mosin (shorter barrel version of the Mosin 91/30 in the game) without hearing protection. Once.  Really bad idea, but I was literally deaf in my right ear for a good few minutes, all I heard was ringing.  If you open up with a Mosin in a building, you shouldn't be able to hear footsteps downstairs very clearly for a few minutes.

So many mods made the Arma 2 sounds awesome. They had better damn well invest in some of that talent. If they keep the sounds on the quality level of the base game I will be sad.
