Add option to lower breathing and equipment sounds locally

[stray cat 5]

Can we get an option to adjust the volume of the equipment and breathing sounds that the own character makes? It is savagely irritating to hear the own breathing sounds this loud in first-person. And the clicking sound when carrying a primary weapon. In Real life one could phase out to these sounds and not be so annoyed by it. The environment sounds of the wind or other ambient noise is acually pleasant to hear.But the breathing and clicking is so intrusive.

 

If it is a game balance issue, other players can still be able to hear other players breathing and clicking at full volume, but the own sounds should be possible to be lowered. It is the primary reason for me I can not play in first person.

Go outside, carry a heap of gear on your back and a weapon in your hands then sprint for as long as you can before you puke, what do you hear? Of course the loudest thing you are going to hear is your breathing, your heart is going to be pounding in your chest, your throat is going to be rasping raw gasping for air. This is not COD, walk around and what do you hear? It's a survival situation, your senses are going to be heightened, guess whats the closest thing to hear? It's you.

An an option to mitigate one of the disadvantages of carrying a lot of stuff and running around all the time? Seems legit...

Why would you add another gamma glich where you can abuse a game option to get better personal perception? I can understand that those sounds can be annoying - so why don't you try to avoid them if possible?

I think he just wants a option to lower his own characters breathing from his own perpective, and not anyone elses....aka a master volume control for the character.

I think they understood that, but their points still stand. One of the disadvantages to running and carrying a lot of stuff is that you will have a harder time listening for sounds of people around you. To make up for it, you need to slow down, take it easy and stop and listen every now and then. This is a game mechanic...
