I usually browse these forums at least once per day, and every day I see similar topics: Someone makes a thread about how good the graphics will be, or how the story should be done, how the weapons should be balanced against each other, and how the BR should totally be removed.
However, you never see anyone talking about the sound of the game. You get the occasional thread about the music, but you very rarely get a topic discussing the sound effects of the game.
In my opinion, sound is just as important as the graphics are. It's all fine and well having something that looks like this, but if the weapons sound awful, and the voice acting sucks, then it's going to really pull you away from the immersion of the game.
This is, as far as i'm concerned, one of Halos weaknesses - there are very few weapons in the Haloverse that sound like deadly weapons that can actually kill things. The Assault Rifle in Halo 3 sounds pathetic, the plasma weapons sound wimpy, and the Sniper Rifle just lacks any kind of "omph" to it.
Unfortunately i'm not much of an expert when it comes to describing sound, but it'd be great to see what everyone else seems to think on the matter. Personally, I think that the weapons need to sound a lot more lethal.
