Subject: Bang Bang: Audio in the Halo 3 Beta

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

For the people who're having problems listening to the sound: just right click and use save as to save file. This way you won't need the plugin. Btw great sound Bungie, but i'll probably start appreciating it more when i'm playing on Heroic or Normal.


Thanks for that. The door sounds...fascinating...to say the least. Most, even. I meant to say most.

hmmmm.... It sounded like a three pin locked door with the pins being about 1 and a half to 2 inches thick being turned open. The lock is old and is easily overturned so that it hits the inner locking mechanism, and then it slides open. but by the sound of the slide it is not that wide of a door, and it sounds like rock on rock instead of the screaching sound old metal would have. So it has to be a ston door with an intergrated locking metal system within it. ....and from what I had seen forerunners do not build their machines through nature like how earth does but within it...perhaps a door of the forerunners leading into a room where earths secret past of forerunner run ins? or a forerunner door leading into an epic battle makeing that suond, the sound that send shivers through your body as you replay the campaign level, because you know what is behind the door? We can only hope so.....


I thought it was stone-on-stone too at the end. But if you listen closely it's not so much of a scraping sound as much as it is a fluctuating resonance. The sound isn't a solid creak or scrape, it sounds more like an oscillating vibration from mechanical equipment (like engines/motors or even possibly gears).

It's great to hear some news about the often-forgotten side of gaming. A more technical story after the game comes out (and the audio team has time) would be awesome.

I can see, or actually hear, your point. If the door was extremely heavy then it could be gears, but by the sound of the outdated lock mechanism I would have to go foreword and suggest that the opening door is old, and if it did use mechanical method of opening it I would be sure enough to say that the metal would be old as well as the lock and make a older sound. It would be more of a screech of metal more over then a smooth opening metalic sound. However the beauty of bungie is being able to openmindingly think about all the aspects that is halo and see, hear, or even feel it in our own way. So you could be right, and I could be right, there is only one way to find out though, and when that day comes, I wil celebrate with style.

Never eat yellow snow, unless of course, you spilled your Mt. Dew!

These guys add the freaking sweeeeet icing onto an already delicious cake and their work is very much appreciated. I distinctly remember the first time playing halo 2 on surround sound, and the first time on my big screen plasma. As exciting as it was, playing this Beta with surround sound and on a plasma blows it away.

The sound in halo 3 is great but why no center channel in dolby digital? It just doesnt make sense and leaves a big hole in the sound IMO.
