OK. I don't want to be a negative nancy but does anyone else think the NC max walking sounds are a little over the top?

Was watching the Higby beta streams and observed this.

I definitely understand the reasoning behind the ambient sounds of each vehicle and love it when you hear a scythe buzz by on a low pass.:D But if I was piloting a max I would want to have someone carry me around on the back of a tank all the time to where I wouldn't have to walk on my own. The BANG BANG BANG BANG is very loud and spiky, especially when ill probably have the volume up to try and make out all the cool auditory clues in game.

Could it maybe be altered to be more hydraulic cylinder sounding (squishier)? Thoughts?

Like the hydraulic loader Ripley used to beat the crap out of the alien queen in ALIENS. Yeah.

All three MAX suits could use variations on that sound, with the NC sounding the clunkiest and the barney suit sounding the smoothest.

NC sounds like someone tap dancing with tin shoes.
