Since we all love FC2 so much, here's the gun sounds compared to eachother

Which one is best?



FC3 vs FC4

[Art Blade]

best is FC2, then FC4, and really mushy that FC3.

I'm with AB 

I still fire up FC2 at times, rarely FC4 (mainly because I have it only on console), and never FC3 (which annoyed the heck out of me)

FC2/FC4 sounds like actual guns compared to FC3.

To me, some sounds are better in some FCs than others, it's a bit of a mixture. Some weapons sound better in FC2 than FC4, some vice-versa. I notice that all the shots in the clip are outdoors. I can't recall if this is true of FC2/3, but one of the things I like about FC4 is how the weapon sounds are different indoors than outdoors, i.e. outdoors you hear the shot reverberating into the distance, while indoors it's a flat, contained sound. But generally speaking, I think FC3's sounds are the least good out of the lot.

Yep, that is something I enjoy in other shooters as well. I extracted the sound files from Black Ops 3 and there's sounds effects for reverbation both indoors and outdoors. FC2/FC3 doesn't have that dynamical change.


Sound file from Black Ops 3 that I had to code myself for the guns. Notice how the secondary sounds are decay sounds.

FC2 vs FC4

I would say the FC4 guns seems to have a wider channel of audio (reverbation and low frequency effects)

Significant difference
