On every post about the game’s fucking abysmal mixing, I have to comment, because I love my ears and this game is preventing others from protecting theirs. The realism of this game is certainly something I appreciate. The bullet drop mechanics are a fun challenge. The various gun sounds at multiple distances are immersive. But, dear God, if I have to turn my game volume down to 20 just to tolerate firing a gun, the realism gets out of hand. Bullet physics in this game don’t hurt anyone. The graphics of this game don’t hurt anyone. So, why do they include extremely loud sounds, which CAN hurt people and literally can damage their ears long-term, instead of just keeping the realism away from hurting people? It infuriates me. Typically, I’d blame the players for not giving a shit about their ears, but why would a developer EVER purposefully include sounds that are nearly impossible to hear without making bomb and gun sounds actually damaging to your physical health?

I have to mute my in-game client when in a red zone because the developers are fucking stupid.
