Ok, I was over at dalmedya's thread about if people listen to music while they play or not. I don't, but it reminded me about something I noticed from the very first game I played in Halo.

In Halo 2, or 1,(for Xbox) when Chief gets shot, he usually goes owie, he screams in agony or a small cry, and so does the Elite in both Campgain and MP. Well, I don't know about you guys, but I have never heard Cheif go owie on Halo PC MP. Only on SP, so I wanted to ask you guys, is this something that Gearbox screwed up?
( I'm not saying that is Gearbox's fault, so back off. I don't want to hear an arguement on how is was their fault or M$'s fault, how bad Gearbox did of a job, or how stupid M$ was to not give Gearbox enough time to make the game better.)
So I wanted to ask you guys, Do I need a good sound card to hear those owies? Or is this that everyone else experiences? Even with good a good sound card/APU/SPU? Or does it have to do with the GPU? Because I can hear them fine is SP, but never in MP.

So, you think it has to do with GPU?

Same here. And it sucks, because when I go to my buddy's house to play Halo 2 on Live, it's fun to hear MC go owie when I beat someone down.

If your hosting a game then you here the death scream. If your joining a game you do not. I can't remember why that is, possibly something to do with the little chime that sounds when you get hit.

Yeah, I usually can hear everything if I'm host, but barely do I ever host games...

I think it's all dependent on the type of kill involved. I've heard Chief grunt many a time when under a barrage of plasma fire, or when blown sky-high (literally).

Yeah I think it has to do with host, I definitely hear the sounds when I'm host, but now that you mention it, not when I join. Wait, no you hear clientside too, but perhaps only a good connection, as I just played Falujah, and definitely heard the big death scream on that map.

Let there be CHAOS!

Hmm, I never really thought of this but no, usually I don't hear him, unless someone kills me with a rocket. Even then, sometimes he's silent. That's one of the little things about Halo 2 that I like better; if you lose your shields, I'm pretty sure it would hurt to get shot, even if you are Masterchief.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

When playing Halo in Multiplayer, I sometimes hear the moan or grunt when the Chief dies, but it's somewhat rare; I get to hear it about ¼ of times I play. However in Campaign I get to hear it anytime I die. 100% of the times I die, not much unless I play in Heroic or Legendary difficulty.

I think you are right Beowul7, the death sounds are mainly for campaign, and now that I think of it(yes again), even on xbox, there really aren't too many death sounds.

Thank you Pet0sh. Well, in my experience I can only account to hear moan's in Multiplayer most of the times (Not always) in very empty servers of two or three people including me. But what I need to know is WsLp's experience to actually give a good reason or hypothesis about the matter.
