Any programmer that adds a non-essential environmental feature to a game, whether it's a stupid beep or a ridiculous nebula painting - and doesn't provide a way for the user to toggle it off and on, is just plain lazy. I don't give a damn what the industry standard is, I know good programming practices when I see them. The supervisor of the programmer is just as much to blame, if not moreso. Good programming is not a sometime thing. Good programming is not something you do when it's convenient. You code good programs ALL the time. Good programming is a habit.

Is it time to play "guess who the programmer is" now?

Is it a different beep other than the one than happens when you engage/disengage a target? That one drives me nuts when one-shotting a bunch of rats.

You know, R2D2 was beeping too and he was a bot. Not implying anything, just wanted to share my thoughts.
