Sugarkills 2 Posted July 22, 2012 I have been playing Day Z for a few days now using my pc's speakers. Now I'm getting more into the game and taking things more seriously I was wondering if I switch the sound over to my headset will I be able to "sound whore"? For example if I hear a gun shot will I be able to identify the direction from which the shot came from or if I hear footsteps would I know which direction the person was coming from? Like you can in Call of Duty.Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monkey (DayZ) 0 Posted July 22, 2012 Yeah, :D a headset would help. If you're down for spending money I really like Logitech headsets. I use a G35. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tarquinbb 28 Posted July 22, 2012 you make it sound like an exploit...how can you describe 'not having a terrible sound system' as 'whoring' ? :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disgraced 1123 Posted July 22, 2012 Very strange terminology. Sometimes I get better separation on my headset, but I use speakers sometimes, too. My headset is 7.1, though. I just don't like wearing it for so many hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bav (DayZ) 3 Posted July 22, 2012 Get a good headset, maybe with surround. - I for example use a Logitech G930 and its REALLY helpful ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atanar 31 Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Well, I don't know why you all suggest headsets. I can point out the approximate direction of a gun sound/footsteps/zombie noises with regular speakers. Works better with headphones ofc. Edited July 22, 2012 by Atanar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

khalim 23 Posted July 27, 2012 uhhmm, are you supposed to be able to hear other players walk/crouch walk? because i just got shot from behind while fiddling with my backpack. figured it was safe because i would hear if someone clamped up the metal staircases (they made a shitload of sound when i walked on em) but there i was, happily rearranging my stolen supplies, when i suddenly get half an AKM mag in my neck =( so much for headsets i guess.

Chaos5061 48 Posted July 27, 2012 "Sound whoring" is something I always hear from console players.Really?!? Hmm learn something new everyday. I've never heard this term. Maybe because I don't play COD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
