Don't even PRETEND you don't want to hear the artillery shells go *fsheeeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooooooo* BOOOOM when they land near you. Because a whistling sound effect would be the most terrifying and hilarious thing ever. I know it's a low priority... but I'm just throwing it out there. It's been suggested before, but COME ON guys!
i can make the sound with my mouth. *whistles* then I can make a silly squelching noise *brchrcheshhhhhh*
I think butterfly's descending whistle and then bcshdshsh mouth sounds should go in... Just kidding. Hopefully something will eventually go in though. I imagine the team still needs their sound guy as you can't exactly go out and just record an artillery whistle.
Take a look through Wikimedia (a repository of publicly available/usable sounds, media, graphics, and other things) http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
I would love a whistel but yeah, we dont have a sound guy. If you want to track down free sounds for us to use then by all means, do so, we welcome the help.
I uploaded some sound files, some of them containing arty fire, some of them containing arty whistles (8seconds and 4seconds) http://rapidshare.de/files/20218667/Artillery_shot.zip.html
Then put it in the damn beta! :p Or at least try it out or something, have the client calculate the ETA of the shell impact and play it accordingly.
