The Biggest buff that VS will be getting

Well I'm not saying make it deafening, I'm saying it should have a little more robust sound to it is all.

I'm comparing TR guns to other FPS games that have very good, visceral gun sounds. I never said the NC guns are or should be quieter, but I'd imagine that the TR guns should make a much, how should I put this, stronger? noise then they do now.

If nothing else change the sound the LC2 Lynx makes. My old Nightkast made for a more convincing gun sound then that thing.

For me the tmg-50 is a 7,62 rifle and all the others for the TR are 5,56.
The tmg sounds nice, but all the others sounds like firing nails, not real .223 (5,56) bullets.
The NC use rail guns that doesn't need an explosive propellant for his ammo, but it sounds much cooler them a rifle using real bullet from the TR.

I think NC uses hybrid railgun technology. If you check very closely, NC magazines have cartridges (with explosive propellant, like gun powder), and magnetic accelerator in the barrel.

I presume the explosive propellant is to conserve energy reserves of a weapon itself, to give a bullet the initial acceleration so you need less energy for electro-magnets to accelerate it to damaging speeds.

That might be a reason why NC weapons have muzzle flash, the explosive propellant itself is, well, explosive, so it makes the flash like conventional (TR) guns.

Well if they're rail weapons, that's just plain FRICTION...
Probably how the Conglomerate makes money on this war, selling their troops new gun barrels for every engagement...

Aesthetic upgrades would be awesome! The VS need to look a bit darker, more mysterious and transhuman, than 50's and 60's sci-fi with "ray guns". (Though, I kind of like that look and think the VS looks way better than the boring old "modern military' look of the other two factions.)

I have the Sharkoon X-Tactic Pro (true 5.1 surround sound) and the game overall does sound awesome with those. However, I dilike the NC sounds because they sound pretty much like I would expect.... a bullet fired with a electro-magnetic sound added to it. I think I am the only one that doesn't like NC sounds..

I like the TR sounds because at least they sound like guns even though they could be beefer.. especially the snipers and LMGs.

VS guns sound interesting, but just too pew-pew laserish.. which is just kinda a turn off even though I guess it's close to how you would think they would sound. You just kinda want them to sound like death... I think a sound buff would be amazing and really like the effort they are trying to put into VS. My VS character was my original and I am looking forward to the new lasher animation as well.
