Halo 3 Sonnet

We are the Bungie community, and thus, by definition, we are given the right to complain about any work that Bungie produces, mentions, or even thinks about, with no limits set by knowledge, logic, common sense, or understanding of sarcasm!

I love the long distance sniper sound.

The Sound Makes the game great

The distance sounds really awesome. Much better than games who tune down the volume. The audio team for Halo 3 is awesome. i really enjoy all those pretty environment sounds when I'm sniping someones head off or Spartan lasering a warthog trying to get my flag. And those sounds when a bullet wizzes past your head and you realize you should take cover.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

Yep. The sound is actually the most impressing aspect of Halo 3, so far.

The shots in the background are really awesome, especially the sniper rifle. I also really like the solid "thunk" of a spike grenade being stuck on another player, or the sound of the shards as they blast around off of surfaces. Really great work so far.

SWEET DOORS IN HALO 3 CONFIRMED!!!! ALERT THE INTERNETS!!!

  • 05.28.2007 11:27 AM PDT

"Don't you know?...Spartans never die".

The sound of the weapons and reloads was the first thing that amased me while playing the Beta.

The sniper is rediculous, especially when you hear the crack and then the sound of the guy next to you's head spliting open.

GT: Greg Is So Hot

These are the sort of things that I was totally infatuated with when I was a kid... I'd throw an ice cube at a rock surface, and record it and slow it down, and realize it sounded just like a cluster bomb exploded if you mixed it with one of the louder cube fragments flying past the mic edited into it's own layer and slowed down to -400%... Then when I was older, just to show off for my friends, I made an unnervingly accurate gunshot noise out of a stapler using it's many functions in 15 minutes using Windows' little sound editor.

I love ... Pretty much every Bungie game's sounds. They were an inspiration for me, back in the day.

That sounds less like a door and more like the droid plant in Star Wars episode two,,, hmmm

Pressing metal shapes onto a conveyor belt, now to think of what the door looks like.

"Don't you know?...Spartans never die".

Isnt that door the main gate on high ground?, they sound similar to me, but then again what do i know.

  • 05.28.2007 11:54 AM PDT

This is where a signature would probably go.

Why sir, I believe you're on to something!

  • 05.28.2007 12:01 PM PDT

"Why wont you die" "because I am an idea and ideas are bullet proof"

GT: Slightly Good

Who ever thinks the beta audio is AWSOME, has no idea how its really going to sound in the full game. Every thing is toned down, no one should be like OMG did you hear that yet. When the full game comes out I expect to hear the equivlent to a hog landing on the ground when I mancannon, if not you have failed also, if most of these sounds are the same full game release, you have failed. I cant wait!!!!!!

Thanks for giving me and update though I enjoyed it.

Hit "9" to deploy parachute.

It almost sounds like a body hit the floor after the door opened, but that's just me. The sounds in the Beta are just amazing, especially through a 5.1 surround sound system. It's nuts. I was on High Ground playing with a friend, and he got nailed by a sniper, but I found the sniper by hearing the shot, and then I killed him and took his weapon. That and has anyone aimed the chain gun up in the air while crossing the river in Valhalla. The water mutes the gunshots. I was so amazed by the sound of it the first time I heard it I got killed. So yeah, great job with the sound so far, can't wait to hear it in September.
