Hello. I wanted to make this video explaining why I think the change to duck the volume of your gun and the environment so you can hear the body hit is not just a bad choice but also a misguided "fix." None of this was a problem in CS:GO, even though there was a tiny delay between shot and impact, because the sound design was better, and hopefully I made this video well enough to prove that there's a better way for Valve to go about this.

Agree that your example of hit sound is more punchier than the current version.
I don’t think it created a problem tho. I just think it could have been done this way instead.
Both the AK sound and body hit sound were better in CSGO—the AK sounded crisper, and body hits were more distinct. If there was one thing that never needed changing from CSGO to CS2, it was the sound design. Once again, Valve’s sound design in this game is subpar. It’s even been proven in tests that directional audio is [worse ](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/16e3y4u/cs2_directional_audio_is_worse_than_csgo/) in CS2 too.
Aside from the sound, they also did a subpar job with shooting feedback. There are no blood splatters where bullets hits. and I think this is the only FPS on the market where you feel nothing when fragging. Even it’s hard to even tell how many shots you landed—unbelievable for a game once known as the most satisfying and mechanical FPS out there.
valve is so incompetent
I like that they turned the audio slightly down on the gun when getting a hit. I also like your idea of making a more distinguished sound. I’d like both to be implemented tbh
Great job!
They might have approached it more in a realism way. Basically when you shoot a body the bullet would and should encounter more meat/organs/fluids/bones which in real life should muddy the sound of the shot.
solid video
Still baffled as to how valve gives such a minuscule insignificant shit about their f2p cashcow.
Great video video, but you shouldn’t have posted this at 2am EU time. It needs traction!
