Footstep sounds

[z0mbie 33]

Anyone else feel like footstep sounds from other players need to be louder? When you're hiding in an abandoned house in the middle of what is essentially a ghost town, scared for your life, someone running up them stairs should sound like a goddamn thunder storm. But instead we're lucky if we barely hear them.

I think it should depend on what kind of shoes the player is wearing. Whether they are clunky military boots or soft padded tennis shoes would make a difference.

 

But I do agree that footsteps should sound like pistol shots when no other sound is existent.

If anything, they need to be quieter, I think it's a shame that no matter what you do, you can't "creep" around. I think maybe a new animation or option for "creeping" is in order. It's not hard to walk without making a noise.

I have thought this same idea since the standalone released
