Surely the sound "issues" are the same on console?! I mean the PS3 and XboX360 are basically PCs and the game code is the same right?^^ console gamer
Captain Slow IRL, have you played both CoD4 and CoD:WW? Isn't it obvious that the sound provides you with absolutely no information what-so-ever in CoD:WW?0 -

Yeah there is definetly a crap use of sound for sure..every sound in-game even the more important ones like explosions, gun shots and footsteps are echoed around the map and yourself so as said you dont get any info from it to determine where its coming from..this probably wouldnt make a difference on the console as its a bit more of an arcade type gameplay or if you dont have 5.1 or better..but its definetly there and i think the reason they didnt include an option to turn the sound occlusion off which is at the source of the problem like they did in the single player is to make the game more newcomer friendly so they wont get annoyed and stop playing
but at least on the pc a mod can fix this which im sure many will

Yeah promod is the one mod for sure that is trying to remove it from the game..i havent got a chance to play it yet..but from thier earlier report of changes they listed theseSound occlusion/attenuation removed
Sound realdelay removed
which are supposedly at the core of this problem..if it works which i think it might do..i cant see why other mod makers would leave them in..
and yes they can be tweaked in game but are cheat protected in the standard release which is a shame as thats what most people play unless playing competitively..
i think you can try them out yourself though by making a mp server in-game..heres a good article on the sound issue in WaW and also how you can test it out yourself with the sound changes..

but yeah its a shame they had to actually cheat-protect these dvars..would have definetely been a better game if they allowed them to be changed in the standard version 0 -
Thanks for that IgsTer! Great article!
I tried doing this myself:
The sound was so much better! Unfortunately I can't test it with someone else to see how other soldiers moving around would sound like but it sounds a hell of a lot better anyway!If you want to see the difference between stock CoD:WW and modded (with sound occlusion off), try this:
Run CoD:WW
Open up the console and type
/devmap mp_roundhouse
This will launch the game in developer mode. You can select any map you would like to try...I've chosen roundhouse.
Now, type the two commands above
/snd_losOcclusion "0"
/snd_global_attenuation "0"
Go into the game and try firing weapons.
The difference is day and night. I almost blew my ears off firing the Arisaka. 0 -
