Whistling (dixie!) arty!

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 believe they are still looking for someone to do the sound

 

i can make the sound with my mouth. *whistles* then I can make a silly squelching noise *brchrcheshhhhhh*

 

yeh I suggested this on the first forum aswell.



The post got deleted...

 

Hey, why are we posting on an empires forum and not actually playing empires right now?

 

because im outside of your house

 

Now I'm scared (again)

also:
wait, you're RPG? Are you both RPG and dizzyone when you play empires?

 

im RPG when I play

why, did i chat spam while i was comm?

 

RPG! you're t3h le3tne55!!1 as for whilsling artillery, I want it, such a cool effect

 

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.

 

well if they badly need new sounds they could always record a few episodes of loonie tunes lol XD

 

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)

I like the whistle idea.

 

the 155 hoitzer (however you spell it) is rather good.

 

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.
