What commercial/AAA game do you think has the most realistic gun sounds?

#1

As the title says, what AAA games do you think have the most realistic sounds for guns?

As good as BFBC2 and BF3 guns sound, they seem to be more “cinematic”, at least most of the guns I’ve heard fired or seen in videos don’t sound like their in game variants, in fact many of them sound much more “raw” in RL if you get my meaning.

I think BF2 had the most realistic gun sounds. They aren’t all spot on, but most of them seem pretty similar to their RL counterparts and have that “raw” sound to them.

Not sure, since I don’t fire real guns all that often. BF3’s sounds do sound really good though.

Edit: Although I doubt that BF2’s sounds are better than BF3’s.

The best I’ve heard

#5

That’s awesome.

The best I’ve found is BF:BC2 too. I don’t think there has been a better. I don’t know what ARMAs sounds are like.

killing floor

so satisfying to shoot every single of the weapons

#7

Counter-Strike Online, they gunshot are taken from the real weapon even along with reload sound such as bolt pull and bolt release slap and such.

#8

BF3 definitely has a better sound system, but a lot of BF2’s gun sounds were pretty accurate to their real world counterparts

#9

To my knowledge, BF3 uses sounds recorded from the actual guns. I don’t know. They probably did the same for BF2 though.

#10

I would imagine, but some of the sounds seem to be paired with the wrong variants of similar guns.

Still all BF games sound extremely impressive, and like actual wars.

#11

Empire Total War have great gun sounds [COLOR=‘Black’]for that period

#12

Apparently the new Medal of Honor has pretty damn realistic gun sounds, at least in the SP campaign.

#13

BF3 have great sounds, no only about the single fire & weapon reload but also all the incoming fire at you and the impacts on metal and such are truly great.

Actually I believe this is the best part of the game, the rest being pretty bad

#14

Not even the graphics are good?

#15

BF3 has the best sounding guns but I don’t think they’re realistic, when you hear real rifles being fired in videos they all sound the same, but all the guns in the game have gone through filters to give them more thick meaty and distinctive sounds to be more entertaining, especially the M16 and AK, they sound amazing.

#16

you schouldn’t use videos as reference.
I’m shooting with real guns sometimes, and every gun sounds different, except pistols, they sound the same if they’re the same caliber.

#17

Plus, you are sticking the gun on your face.

#18

Realism be damned, I still think this game has some of the best gun sound mixing in video games.

#19

holy fuck that must be satisfying as hell to fire

#20

Oh, it is. Wait till you try the game’s M16.

Speaking of which, another reason I love this game so much is that the first person hands visibly take their finger out of the trigger guard when reloading. A lot of shooters don’t get that right.
