They broke something with the audio because it worked fine in the beta. It was too loud in the beta, but I heard everything I expected to hear.
Now the audio sometimes is just not there. You can sprint in short bursts and make zero sound (not even sure how). I know people can't always have dead silence up. Everyone in my lobbies is sprinting around like crazy and there's almost no sound. It is one thing when everyone is camping and crouch walking, but
I almost want to turn off all footstep audio because it is so off that it is more confusing.
I can't say exactly what it is, but it is just off. The old games always had inconsistencies but this is worse. I haven't played a ton of WZ2 but that feels the same.
