nomadyow 4 Posted September 13, 2012 Mostly I play DayZ with a surround sound headset and it sounds pretty good. I recently setup in my home theater with a 7.1 surround sound setup, and a few things kept drawing me out of the immersion factor.1) The ocean always comes out the left and right channels equally when near the ocean. It should either come out directionally, or play in all channels2) Rain. Same as the ocean, it should play in all channelsA little more focus on the sound part of dayz would be awesome!BTW, thunder sounds great in the home theater. Hearing it off in the distance is great!

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted September 13, 2012 I use surround sound and hadn't noticed that. I think it's directional until your pretty close and then It's just a big room filling noise? I guess not. Your right though, thunder sounds awesome with a sub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knight2000 (DayZ) 35 Posted September 13, 2012 I agree with OP, i use true surround headsets and when youre close to the coast omg that beach noise is coming from everywhere and its loud as hell. Thunder does sound amazing tho, made me jump out of my chair the first time haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spawn (DayZ) 217 Posted September 13, 2012 i dont think its that bad. I mean maybe on the coast but I am barely ever there and if I am not for long at all as I run straight inland. sound is great when you can hear where shots are fired, foot steps and stuff. you can tell which direction they come from Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
