Why have they made it so that this game is completely unplayable without a headset...

You get sound whored by about 80% of players i have to fucking creep around on my hands and knees so i don't get prefired round corners every two seconds.

They need to get rid of that loud footsteps perk or make it not cancel dead silence cause its ruining a lot of gametypes.

By the way i have a headset i just think its fucking stupid they're absolutely necessary.

You bad

do alright, its still dumb tho.

if you do well w/o sound, then you're playing bad people imo. even in CoDs where ninja is silent like MW2, there is still snow, plants, jumping, etc. that's not including bomb defuses.

MW2's version of sound is the best in the franchise. MW2>CoD4 when it comes to directional sound. MW2 had a loud defuse noise, so the idiots going for defuses when people are still alive in all the CoDs nowadays didn't exist, or they got punished, not rewarded. also, there isn't a damn plant noise, which is how it should be. BO1 fucked up sound, among other things.. MW3 was decent until the sitrep patch. BO2 had amplify, plus inconsistent noises..giving a muffled defuse noise by spinning. characters scream for whatever reason. ghosts continued with the illogical bullshit.

Just takes a lot of skill out the game.. especially on SND

if there shouldn't be plant noise, then there shouldn't be any noise for defusing.

that doesn't make sense. a plant noise provides an incentive for defense to camp.

how does it not make sense?

you plant the bomb. then what do you do? you sit and listen for it. sure, you'll check your surroundings, but you will be listening for someone trying to defuse.

how is that even remotely fair for someone on defense? you can hear someone defuse the bomb after you plant it, so you don't have to actually sit and watch the bomb. but you expect me to sit and watch the target, instead of being able to cover a wider radius while listening for someone trying to plant.

you can't make the case "well the defense should be watching the target. if they can hear it, they'll just sit and wait, listening for someone trying to plant."

logically, it either makes sound both ways or it makes no sound at all.

i don't think it should make any noise at all, for either planting or defusing. if you're dumb enough to get defused after you planted and you have people still alive... you deserve to lose the round. you shouldn't get help by being able to hear the defuse because you're not willing to engage a gunfight to win post-plant. there's nothing wrong with watching someone go defuse and killing them in the act, but when people whine about get ninja defused or when the bomb gets defused while the planting team still has people alive... are you serious?
