Who the fuck let this happen? This game could've been so much more for fuck's sake.

How many bullets are in a Thompson magazine? 20 or 30? They keep switching it up.
Charles Johnson
it depends on the model and the point in time, ask /k/ for more
Lucas Harris
20 but who gives a fuck about it if the empty reload animation in this game doesn't add pulling the fucking bolt back but only adds the character slapping the magazine in the butt?
Nathan Gutierrez
Early WW2 the Thompson used 20 round box magazines as standard, but late 1941 a 30 round magazine was developed and became the new standard magazine.

sound design was such a critical aspect of the older cod games feeling really immersive and it's a shame they dropped the ball in codww2
Day of Infamy on the other hand, I love it

Nah, it was always garbage but Sledgehammer actually upped the game with Advanced Warfare and that game had a legitimately good sound design that could rival that of Battlefield.
But they just fucking gave up on it here. What a joke.

old infinity ward understood sound design

I don't know, for the era, maybe. Those sounds couldn't really hold their own later on because they sounded so dry, low quality and unrealistic. They just didn't have that environmental impact that Battlefield sounds are famous for.
I've actually spent hours into this shit back in the day and made a mod to make the sounds work like they do in BF. Because funnily enough the engine was always perfectly capable of doing it, they just didn't record the fucking sounds...
Samuel Howard
having actually gone back now and listened to them, I will concede the actual player gun sounds are a bit dry and anemic in some places but the overall audio experience is still top notch I contend. It's very immersive with all the NPC chatter and other effects like explosions and planes overhead
Jeremiah Moore
Fair enough. I actually think that the sounds from old CoDs could easily work for new ones if they were slightly refreshed. Because whatever WW2 does is just absolutely garbage. It's worse than WaW which really says something.
And then there are the animations... Oh god they're just so bad.
Justin Reyes
They know they can't compete with Dice.
Connor Williams
Just add extra bass and loud with a small reverb at the end when needed in Audacity for Call of Duty 2 guns, shit's cash, but your ears kinda bleed after a few hours playing.
user, sound designers now know that kids and shitters will spend a lot of time playing this so they make soft noise gunshots, which are anemic. It's not an accident, it's a conscious design choice nowdays.

How do you fuck such a basic thing up? I'm honestly surprised they even bothered to put the Garand ping in there if they were to be such lazy fucks with the sound design.
Thomas Green
Had to get out of the apartment for once so I went over to my normalfag friends house and watched him play "hardcore" deathmatch.
The one thing that really really bugged me was that the game was so fucking quiet. There was always tons of fighting and explosions going on in the background of any map but you dont hear a damn thing.
>standing near big anti air guns or some shit.
>huge muzzle flare indicating they are firing but DEAD SILENCE.
Yes, sound is terrible.
Also fuck those calling cards, yay obnoxious bullshit popping on your screen every time you kill someone.

Josiah Phillips
the explosion sounds in that game are literally abysmal
Angel Turner
how do you fuck up so bad
Cooper Smith
RO2 gameplay was already surpassed by Doom1
not hard to surpass that garbage
Aiden Sullivan
Don't worry about it sweetie, plenty of people have shit taste, you're not alone
Benjamin Jones
actual plenty of people have standards thats why your shitty game, even the brand new one is fucking dead lmao
