ThatBritshGuy 26 Posted April 13, 2014 DayZ strives to be a realistic zombie apocalypses survival game, don't get me wrong, Its the best I have ever seen. There is one thing that is bugging me and that is when I hear the M4A1 shoot, Its sounds so unrealistic and silly both when shooting it your self and hearing someone else shoot it in a distance in my opinion. The M4 sounds like it has no power behind when in real life this gun is a high powered assault rifle with a fair kick. I know that in the game it is very powerful and will take down people no problem but the sound does not reflect this, I also know its only the sound of one gun I am going on about but it is meant to be a realistic game so adding in a better sound for this gun would be so much better because the sound of this gun in the game, sounds nothing like a M4 in real life.Just a Suggestion. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spankerfist 44 Posted April 13, 2014 Im pretty sure the current sound is just a placeholder until they add new ones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darksteeljorge 96 Posted April 13, 2014 I don't know if it's just a place holder due to the reason that Rocket in one of his streams previous to the release he heard a shot and he said "Ohh you heard that ? Sounds beautiful isn't it ?" So I think that means that he likes the sound of the m4 and he won't change it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buddhistsoldier (DayZ) 5 Posted April 13, 2014 in real life this gun is a high powered assault rifle with a fair kick. not entirely true, it has barely any more kick than a .22 rifle, ive personally fired thousands of rounds through one in my time in the army, i barely felt it, a fair kick would be closer to 7.62 rifles, such as the AK series, it is a fairly quiet rifle as well, comparatively, more of a pop crack sorta sound. that being said, i still prefer the M16/M4 series over the AKs any day 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monolith1985 109 Posted April 13, 2014 i thought a placeholder would be using an old sound, such as the m4 sound from the mod. that i would of been happy with, the current sound just seems quiet and weak, especially compared to the mod/arma 2 sound Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

willhelm 85 Posted April 13, 2014 So does the Sporter-22 Yes, but the difference between a stapler gun and the sporter is that the stapler is stronger. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gannon46 788 Posted April 13, 2014 I think audio will be the last detail to be added and hopefully we get the atmospheric music back as well(I miss that). I agree the M4 sounds as if its balls are in a vice but its not the final product. also I would like to see the muzzle blast added have you ever shot an ar-15 or M4 at night woo its a thing to see huge fire ball and imagine the mosin. I think also if another toon is standing to close to your muzzle blast his hearing should deafen and ears should ring. its funny seeing a guy less than a few inches from a friends mosin/m4 barrel and they are barking away. shit you stand to close to the end of that muzzle your gonna get a blast in the face and those ears ringn like a champ. then they can add hearing protection etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fry76 23 Posted April 13, 2014 But for me it is very important to here what gun is singing cause then I can make my run away tactic fast. There will be more guns and like in RL you should be able to recognize them from sounds they make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newguyzombie 122 Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) the sound of this weapon seems kinda buggy. the normal sound is like "tik tik" you know... but sometimes if my mate fires with the weapon its like "woah who the f just shot with the rpg". its an extremly slashing sound Edited April 16, 2014 by newguyzombie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
