The sound compared to 1946

luthier has already stated that recording own samples was not possible with their budget.

So ... what's not to understand about that? And that they have not licensed other samples tells me that this would also cost too much (for their budget). Is it really that hard to understand? Jeez!

What's hard to understand, is why the game is designed with a closed sound system where changing the sounds can't be done easily by modding.

You know you don't have the ressources to make good sounds, and you know the community could do better, at no cost for you. Why not let them do it?

Ah, now we're talking. Previously I gained a totally different meaning - i.e. that Maddox Games should have taken other samples regardless of such trivial things like intellectual property. That sentence above I agree with.

Forget what the devs do with the sound, what we need (and I assume this will happen because this is a mod-friendly kind of game) is for a sound pack mod. The sounds ATM in this game are easily the worst quality I've heard in the last decade. Really, really bad, the game sounds almost sound monotone??

Well I would say that wings of prey is easily the worst, that sounds like a bee in a tin can with only 2 speeds.........

Granted, I only have experience on some of the planes in iCoD, but to me the internal sounds sound good. The only real gripe I have is the way you can hear bullets strike other planes far away.

Also, there could be a lot more base oomph in the gun sounds so that ButtKicker worked a bit better and perhaps a bit more even base in the engine sounds as well. Should be easy enough to mod, though, if the sound files are accessible.
