what do you guys honestly think of the gun sounds, if you think there is anything they could improve on, please post them.

I reckon the pistol could sound a bit more powerful, and I would also like a better SMG sound, but that's just me. Maybe i've just heard them too much.
 
Pistol - Could be louder
SMG - Can't put my finger on it but it could be improved
Shotgun - Doesn't really sound like a shotgun at all...
Crowbar - The whoosh sound when you swing it is dumb. It should be a barely audible, low sound kind of like the original HL except quieter. Also, when it impacts with a hard surface you don't here any metallic clang like you should...
 
The crowbar needs improvement, I miss the big clang from HL1. The smg sounds like it doesn't quite fire every shot, like it misses a couple every now and then.
 
Shotgun is LURVELY. Better than Halo's goddamn peashooter.
 
i would rather them integrate EAX into source like they did for hl1.
 
Know what sound I love? The Pheropod. When you squeeze it. Lovely :p
 
The AR2 could use a better primary fire... it's too heavy-sounding, not high-tech at all. Pistol I kind of like, shotgun I like, SMG could be more interesting but I guess it's realistic. The crowbar does swoosh too loudly, but I think the hitting-stuff sounds are good - louder/longer ones would get annoying after a while. Pheropod... it's cool, but the sound doesn't really match the visuals. It looks like a completely soft squishy thing, not like it would make the squeaky squelch that it does. Eh.
 
The SMG sounds realistic although it doesn't have the "badass" from HL1's.
 
SMG, okay I suppose.

Pistol is 9mm, it's supposed to be kinda quit.

Magnum: Should be loud enough to produce echoes, but Source probably doens't have dynamic sound. Though I must admit no engine has that.

Pulse rifle is just perfect, especially the secondary fire. Wrrzzzzzzzzz!!!!

Crowbar is much more realistic then what was essentially a warhammer in the 1st game.

Pherepods: All biological sounding. Perfect. Really makes me drool for the Source ports of the original series, just to see the spore launcher. :) Though only Black mesa source will ever turn into anything, by the looks of it, so I'll have to be satisfied with snarks and hivehands.

Everything else is just fine.
 
Oh!

Well in that case, I'm apparently quite deaf! I never heard echos, ever!
 
anyone who dosnt like the pulse rifal sound deseves to be shot,or at least hit with it. a lovely high tech vveeeeee-bom! and a lethal sounding bam. i spawned one at the first level and used it to kill anything killable, and shoot anything...just anything.
 
The weapon sounds are fine, they could be a bit louder, though. The pistol sound is the best pistol sound in a game ever ;)
