YO WTF WE HORSES NOW

[–]Gustyarse 60 points61 points  (3 children)

the Clippity-clop update

[–]obadubBravo 157 points158 points  (36 children)

Neigh, I gotta disagree. It'll take some getting used to but it's no better/worse than the old sounds that sounded like you were running around in sneakers. IMO, it's more like a guy running in boots should sound. Yeah kinda like a horse. I just wanted to make the pun. Love you.

[–]Nextil 53 points54 points  (23 children)

Exactly. People are only used to the super-quiet footsteps we had before. Footsteps in games in general are often way too quiet in my opinion.

[–]shawnington 6 points7 points  (1 child)

nobody has mentioned the chickens are gone...

[–][deleted] 207 points208 points  (36 children)

I see someone has never worn a pair of heavy boots in their life.

[–][deleted] 126 points127 points  (12 children)

It sounds like heavy boots that are untied, and the character is sloshing around in loose ass boots (specifically the Dust 2 demo)

[–][deleted] 84 points85 points  (9 children)

I think the problem is (and horse effect) that the steps sounds are too close together , he goes like 4 steps and it sounds like 8.

[–]StylishStuffCache Veteran 36 points37 points  (4 children)

the footsteps on the metal on nuke are spot on to walking on metal floors

[–]YalamMagicAstana Dragons Fan 21 points22 points  (2 children)

Probably because they actually recorded it like that.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Which is mostly loose dirt that is layered over hard packed dirt.

[–]Dr4gonkilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

other words, horses. We sound like horses now

[–]RmPw0wDust 2 Veteran 8 points9 points  (1 child)

[–]JaTepi 10 points11 points  (6 children)

Doesn't sound like this. Even though the sound aren't that great, I prefer this over what we had before.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (5 children)

It does. If you have heavy boots and are running, the sound that it makes is deeper than what we used to have in game and is more like what we have now.

[–]marvk 35 points36 points  (7 children)

What the fuck. Those metal sounds on nuke ramp...

[–]FaultyWires 19 points20 points  (3 children)

Reminds me of the incredibly compressed reverby walk sounds from HL1 metal, which gives me headaches.

[–]seviliyorsun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I loved the old sounds.

[–]pn42 6 points7 points  (1 child)

They added the metal floor to make it easier to hear if hes up or down, now that is completly gone because aüperently b site flopr is the same as the metald ramp both on ramp and on b site ramp, gg valve

[–]jettavDUByaOverpass Veteran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean think about, you're running down a ramp to retake a bomb site infiltrated by terrorists. You're gonna be stomping pretty hard while running down that ramp unless you just full force it.

[–]AFatDarthVaderLegendary Chicken Master 29 points30 points  (4 children)

  • Added ArmA 2 footstep sounds

[–]kmdalldayiBUYPOWER Fan 12 points13 points  (4 children)

New "bullet miss" zip sounds too?

[–]tanzWestyy 127 points128 points  (20 children)

Actually like the new sounds. On another note that was quick.

[–][deleted] 131 points132 points  (15 children)

I'm ok with them. They are odd, but it's like the new knifing sounds they added a few months back. they sound odd at first but soon we'll have forgotten what they used to sound like.

[–]tanzWestyy 40 points41 points  (3 children)

Good point. I think for positioning as well; if you have decent map awareness already then this is technically a buff.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (1 child)

Exactly. It's a lot easier to hear footsteps and discern where they are coming from and what material they are walking on. I used to always walk in B tunnels on Dust 2 because the footsteps on the tile were hella loud before. Probably even more so now.

[–]PMmeabouturdayTeam Wolf Fan 14 points15 points  (1 child)

I hated the knife sounds at first, now I can't even remember what they used to sound like

[–]VachiiVirtus.Pro Fan 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Not sure if I like the metal footstep sounds. Reminds me of minecraft footsteps for some reason

[–]DopeboiFresh 14 points15 points  (2 children)

yeah can you record yourself zipped up in a sleeping bag inchworming across your floor?

[–]Cosm0_CatTeam Liquid Fan 20 points21 points  (3 children)

You're doing gods work now son. It's going to take awhile to decide if i like the change or not.

[–]corchin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

sound more realistic now, i like it

[–]99sH0TsCloud9 Fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it just me or the nuke footsteps sounds a lot realistic ?

[–]NobugaMIBR Fan 927 points928 points  (57 children)

Stattrak footsteps

[–]Porkton400k Hype 306 points307 points  (43 children)

i'd buy stattrak shoes tbh

[–]5lipperySausage 90 points91 points  (14 children)

Haha shoe skins, imagine players running around in fluro Nikes and high heels...

[–][deleted] 315 points316 points  (11 children)

Porkton added 258 steps and 17 jumps to their boots this round. Their durability is now 17/20, you can go to the shop and buy a Stattracktm repair kit to restore durability.

[–]ZoldborsoVirtus.Pro Fan 232 points233 points  (1 child)

I thought that was just my pc 'cause my graphics card is on it's way out! God dammit.

[–]chuNkedoodleCache Veteran 10 points11 points  (3 children)

yeah happens to 3 friends aswell so i think everyone has it

[–]LostRib 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Was this online or offline? Because I've noticed this before when offline with bots but not during MM/DM

[–]chuNkedoodleCache Veteran 2 points3 points  (1 child)

yeah i tried it offline with bots, havent tried mm

[–]BKL-f0x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a old problem. Only occures in offline matches with bots.

[–]JEHUCSENCE Fan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

isnt that "Legacy SFX" sound from cs 1.6? sounds somehow familiar

[–]ALLCAPSBROO 469 points470 points  (37 children)

The game sounds like Minecraft now.

[–]DeviMon1 82 points83 points  (14 children)

It has been sounding like that for ages thou. Seriously. The chicken sound is 100% the same, I've heard it multiple times in both games. Aswell as just stepping sound on wood, that was changed this summer.

This update just takes it to the next level.

[–]ash347 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Maybe that's because chickens all sound the same?

[–]kevensentme 148 points149 points  (15 children)

I wish you were wrong.

[–]dryadofelysiummousesports Fan 180 points181 points  (19 children)

It will be as usual. Next day or two everyone will flame the new sounds, just like many people hated on the new animations and whatelse. Then everyone gets used to them and realizes that they are quite nice actually. Then everyone will forget there was a change.

[–]HenkIsEenLolligeVentNorth Fan 256 points257 points  (41 children)

Walking sound is all different. It's weird.

Edit: And new pew pew sounds.. I feel like I'm in a Western This was on a community server I frequent, but I don't think they have customs sounds.. Needs to be verified on an official valve server.

[–]niconpatVirtus.Pro Fan 11 points12 points  (1 child)

I can confirm pew pews. Seem to be ricochet sounds off walls.

[–]dragobich 35 points36 points  (9 children)

[–]AritcheCloud9 Fan 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Found the global with his flair and everything!

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (14 children)

so unrealistic. Even if you walk with boots on, it should make noise.

CSGO should implement bare feet option where you take 0.2 dmg every step for the benefit of complete stealth mode.

[–]Throwayywaylmao 11 points12 points  (6 children)

Does walking on grass/flat metal/concrete actually hurt your feet??

[–]TJB14Cloud9 Fan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That shit is wet or cold or both, it should be -0.2 moral every step

[–]Doctanasty5 Year Subreddit Veteran 79 points80 points  (16 children)

Awp now always un-zooms during reload animation

hnngggggg

[–]EndsWithJusSayin 72 points73 points  (6 children)

How many times do you really need to reload an AWP though? I mean, you have 10 bullets in the magazine, and there's 5 enemies, and 4 other teammates. A perfect round means you're only spending 9 out of 10. save that last one for chiken.

Community: "Lower the loud gun sounds to prevent hearing loss" Valve: "YOU HORSES NOW BOISE"

[–]wartoli 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I know this may be a bit difficult to wrap your mind around, but get this:

Raising the sound of footsteps is effectively the same as lowering the sound of gunshots.

Whaaaat? No wayyyyy

Oh gawd, I hope this fixes people who still had problems after the change! I didn't, but several people still were complaining of such.

Would love to see/hear how the game would be if it implemented Insurgency's audio occlusion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-HSD2MXvec

[–]mtbkr24 10 points11 points  (1 child)

My first FPS was Battlefield 3, and then Insurgency. I couldn't believe how bad CS:GO's sound was when I started playing, because I assumed all games had fantastic sound like in that video.

When I go back and play Insurgency, my favourite part is actually the sound. It's so immersive, and you can actually tell where bullets are coming from. This update to CS:GO added ricochet sounds but it's so poorly done compared to Insurgency. It's like they just added a ping noise every 10 bullet impacts. I guess it's a step in the right direction at least, but good sound would be the biggest improvement for CS:GO for me personally at the moment.

[–]Amaaze98 13 points14 points  (24 children)

I'm going to cry

[–]OPDidntDeliverTeam Liquid Fan 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Bear in mind if they fixed sound glitches or made it easier to hear, that's an important update.

[–]Syren__Cloud9 Fan 4 points5 points  (1 child)

cool i was having a lot of problems with sound glitches when using voice_scale 0 hopefully this is a fix

[–]Skazzy3Dust 2 Veteran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe the sound bug I reported got fixed? :D

[–]hotshowerscene 10 points11 points  (7 children)

Sound fall off curves? Does this mean we will be able to tell if a sound is coming towards/away now?

[–]Jonny_tazValeria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it only refers to the distance, the sound gets lower if far away

[–]_VanillaFace_Cloud9 Fan 31 points32 points  (7 children)

you can hear bullet whizz past you..

[–]105doge 16 points17 points  (5 children)

That's always been there in the game before this update

[–]_VanillaFace_Cloud9 Fan 20 points21 points  (1 child)

not as clear..

[–]SinkEditsCache Veteran 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not as clear and it was a different sound, I think. This one is exactly like the one in 1.6 :D

[–]uLLeticaL 21 points22 points  (4 children)

My custom fonts seem to have broke because of this update.

[–]MachoDaggerTeam Dignitas Fan 17 points18 points  (6 children)

It's a new walking moving sound.

Maybe it's because I am focussing on it way more but the sounds seem to meld into each other more and are less discernible between one another.

[–]KyoukoSakura 21 points22 points  (2 children)

oh god it's so sleek, sounds like the CT's polished their boots

[–]MachoDaggerTeam Dignitas Fan 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I thought it sounded more gravelly, maybe it was where I was walking (Nuke T-Spawn) but it sounded really bassy and aggressive.

OPERATION NUKE

  • Nuke is back on Active Duty Maps
  • Nuke is the only map on Active Duty and the rest are put into Reserves
  • Dust II can no longer be played on Deathmatch or Casuals
  • 5v5 Casuals/Unranked MM with all speak available
  • 128 Tick
  • 1:45 round time/35 sec. bomb plant/10 sec. buy round
  • SMGs are nerfed back
  • M4A1-S rebuffed to original, and now comes with 25 bullets per mag, and has 100 reserve
  • Movement with AWP while scoped in is back to original
  • You can now talk to enemy team again during warm up, halftime, and after the game is over.

Did I miss anything?

You'll actually know where the enemy's walking if you know the map well. In terms of gameplay, I really like this sound update and it adds more element to the game mechanics. Walking is going to be even more crucial now.
