I have an onboard soundcard with no EAX support, but then I put my sound options in Software, High and EAX enabled and I can hear all of that. Of course players with better sound cards get better sounds, but you can get it pretty good even without one.

You'll be fine mate. Creative cards generally sound better because of the way they mix sounds in game etc but you'll be fine. I mastered the distant sounds for both people with/without.

I have waited so long for gunfire to sound like that from a distance. Your changes here might be the first to pull it off. Good work.

I trust the transitions are smooth and unnoticeable.

With single/burst fire, not noticable. With fully auto, there's a problem where the engine bypasses the distance delay. But it still works, gives off an echo effect.

Ah yes, it's very good, it's getting up there w/ HL2 for production quality, but for accuracy on how it should sound at actual different distances, i think you guys did better.

very nice work mate... sounds are soo much more important to me than fancy graphics to feel the game and get absorbed in it... love the changes.. sounds very....'realiistic'., i think that is the word i'm looking for.

Amazing. Reminds me of the great ambient gunfire sounds on Street (the one and only thing I like about that map )

Wow, this is freakin' fantastic, really adds a depth to battles and hopefully a new tactical element where we can chase down active gun battles on large maps by keeping our ears open.
