Since the change to the weapon sounds i have to say I've been very disappointed with the new audio used for them especially lasers.

All EVE online weapons sound so limp wristed. I thought i was because i had quieter turret sounds on but nope. They don't sounds aggressive or scary in any way and with quiter turret sounds click off they should be loud as all hell and make proper use of sub-woofer. I don't want my favorite online game to sound weak, do you? Go full BC2 war tapes audio level for weapon sounds!

Lasers have this sci-fi-ish sound and none of them from small to large sound like white hot hard hitting beams of death. However the capital lasers sound right to me, they sound like massive building sized laser turrets they're supposed to be.

Hybrids to me never sounded right, I know they don't fire explosives per se yet need a more harder and electronic sound. The large railgun turret in DUST 514 has a nice hard hitting sound actually.

Launchers sound ok yet the cruise and citadel cruise don't sound very heavy. Pardon the real world comparison but if you look up a real cruise missile launch that thing sounds insane!. The missile explosions no matter the damage type don't sound like "boom" or a "KA-BOOM" more of a "pleh". What kind of missile goes "pleh"?

Projectiles got it right, not big complaints there.

Yeah just replace all the gun noises with the sound of someone saying "pew pew"

Will give the game a nice feel Lol

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

There might be a bit too much pew.

When you think about it the weapons all look and sound weak.

When I fire a capital sized Uranium warhead I don't want a pew pew sound and a white beam of light leaving my cannons.

I want the sound of thunder as I fire. A bloody mushroom cloud when it hits and an explosion that makes my ears pop.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

Maybe I'm just spoiled by games with proper ship to ship air battles


Granted that's probably 3/4's nostalgia talking but at the time. (late 90s) The battles looked great, felt great and sounded great. At least the turrets looked like they packed a punch.

The only sound that should come from my lasers, is the sound of the Minmatar slaves screaming as i over heat them and it gets rather toasty in there Twisted

I want the deafening roar of a thermonuclear shockwave... but that would require an authentic "orbital strike" with a real nuke and the vast mushroom cloud visible from orbit ... so forget I mentioned it. Evil

They got the small and medium blaster sounds spot on now, imho.

All turret sounds should be louder, and drones as well.

This is how I want major fleet fights to sound and look.
