DISCLAIMER: While some of the Halo bullets might not exist (sniper), Bungie could still get the sound of a real weapon, then alter it a little.
DO NOT USE THE LAZY EXCUSE THAT THIS GAME IS IN THE FUTURE. IF we are still using bulllets 500 years from now, why should the guns sound any different? If you are going to use that excuse, you might as well say that we should be using laser weapons.
In every Halo game, the guns sound, well, fake. This is most noticeable in Halo 3 with the assault rifle. Below is the type of round that each human weapon fires (plasma weapons don't exist yet so I cannot expect Bungie to get real sounding plasma weapons):
-The assault rifle fires 7.62mm x 51 FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) rounds.
-The pistols fire .50 caliber rounds. So they should sound like a desert eagle.
-The SMG fires a 5x23mm Caseless FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) round.
-The shotgun uses an 8-gauge magnum (3.5") shell. Those are huge rounds, most shotguns use a 12 gauge. The shotgun should also have more range. Real combat shotguns are effective up to at least 20 meters.
-The sniper rifle fires 14.5mm Armor-Piercing, Fin-Stabilized, Discarding Sabot (AP-FS-DS) rounds. Those are larger than a barrette .50 cals rounds.
-The machine gun turrets fire a 7.62 X 51mm caliber round (MG-42). The legendary AK-47 fires a 7.62x39mm M43 round. The rounds are the same diameter, but the machine guns cartridge is 12mm longer.
(Larger cartridge = more powder)
-Explosions:
I am confident that Bungie would be able to record the sounds of real explosions to be placed in games.
While I am pretty sure that some of these rounds don't exist, I still think that Bungie should find weapons/ammo that are as close in round size to these Halo weapons.
They should then fire off these rounds in a firing range, and record the gun sounds at different distances. Something I noticed is that the assault rifle sounds the same 20 meters away as it does 50 meters away.
Before you start saying that sounds in video games are muffled, I know. however, if you watch the trailer for Modern Warfare 2, you will see, no, hear how real the weapons sound. Especially at 48 seconds+.
Again, before you guys start saying that this is Halo, and that is Call of Duty:
Just because the games have different art styles, and different gameplay, does not mean that one has to sound real, and the other cannot.
I hope Bungie takes this into consideration, and goes the extra mile so we can have real sounding guns.
see the thing here is most of the weapons in halo are gas operated. the weapons hence don't used cased rounds, yes the BR uses cased rounds as does the Chain gun, but the AR is gas opperated, hence the dull sound. also, the sniper is too. the fact it is so loud in game is astounding.
