'nuff said!

(if you want I can try and get a better source for
a better quality of this sound from another episode!)

this thread....
http://forum.esforces.com/showthread.php?t=30106
tells you all Im talking about!
so...? what do you think?
if there is a sensing thing so why not a sensing sound???
(the sensing sound will be for everyone or for the one that
the beam is aimed on... your desition....)

I want to know if this idea is taken seriously or not
comments...?

I say no. The reason why is that people have a tendency to arc their beams, so if you start firing to your right, people to your right will hear the sound, then when you arc it around you will be aiming at some point to nearly every one on the server. Same goes for beams like generic beam that people can drag all around a map to try to hit somebody that's running away. Beams are easy enough to see as they are anyway.

OK , I have a better idea
(Miki800's sensing sound beta 1.05 lol)
(now its the kind of stuff when most of the post
is about algoritem and stuff to show you exactly what I mean
and usually when someone in Suggestions tries to do that stuff
he gets ignored.....)

If the beam is close to me I will hear the sound
I will hear it if I am suppose to get a flashing warning
like in the qeoted thread...
for each beam I will get only one warning only
if its from my right - for the right speaker - left then left
and if it from behind - rear speakers or both speakers
(depense on if you have something like subwoffers or not)

and not all the pplz of the server will get a warning ,
I think that the warning should be given only once or twice - this number is for the coders of ESF to deside
and most of the other stuff , also...

BASICLY , what do you think of the idea itself now?
and dont answer me and say that it would be a sound spamming cause I know it can be fixed to be as I said above!

(BTW - unlike other sounds - lets say I am KAMEHAMEHAing or transforming - all users near me can hear me doing that,
but that warning sound - only one user can hear it at a time
and the users that surrounds him will hear it only if they suppose to
got what Im saying?

do you know the sound of the nuclear bomb in HL crossfire ??? why not adding this ???
you already can hear beam around you !!!
it would suck, because disc would be that useless then ...

oh whatever , I just thought that it would be cool addon to the game...
and since I told you its for beams and stuff...
is disc a beam?
since when? and why no one told me abou this?
just a sugge...
you (ESFTEAM) may modify my idea as much as it suits for you!
if you dont want it to include the disc... then so be it!
after all , I am not one of the team...
you dont have to use my originaly idea....

now after all "why your idea suck" stuff is cleared
(I hope all are..)
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY IDEA?

increase the looudness of your speakers (head phones) and you should be able to hear beams, when they're coming
