Game should be smart enough to not play sound of too distant object completely, but unfortunately there are some issues with this as most of us have observed (i.e. sometimes we can hear bullet hits 500-800m away).

i thought the same thing but a different cause..i thought the sound engine was overloading and would max out one of the cores causing the sound stuttering and dropoff
