Blizzard, why did you butcher the sound?

[SaZun]

True though. You do make a thread about once a week on the exact same topic. Best part is this time you directed the thread title towards Blizzard. Wrong forum bro. =/

I play with Protoss, and I agree that unit sounds were better in SC1. They sounded much more fearsome then in SC2. Zealots, Archons, High templars... even avatars for that units were much better. The first thing I'd like to do when I get SCII is to put old sounds for some units, if that is possible.

It seems to me they changed a lot of things just for the sake of changing it, and made them worse doing so.

Your link to the warcraft 3 sounds had nothing to do with the ingame warcraft sounds. The sounds you linked are sounds that came if you spam clicked a unit alot of times, and I remember them to be quite funny when i played Wc3 back in the days.

To me the sounds in Sc2 is quite allright, when i play game after game i hardly even notice them. So i cant figure out how they can annoy u that much that u make a thread about it just so everyone knows that you dont like the sounds in sc2?

Another thread with whining? Just proves my point I made in the thread that Gifted closed. I am really disappointed with the attitude of fan. It's all about "me, me, me". Bashing Blizzard instead of giving constructive critique. You make a thread like this every week and always gets closed. There should be some form of infraction for repeat offenses.

Listen and compare.
They should put much much more effort in it...

One new thing (read: cause for some extra bitching) I noticed:
New units are not memorable somehow.. Zerg and protoss mechanic units don't make distinguishing sounds. For example: Hydralisk respiratory sounds are all the same practically.


This could be greatest game ever and they spoil it with bellow average sound/voices.

Yes. We need bitching as much as we can.

No you don't need to bitch. You need constructive criticism instead of always pointing out what's wrong and always calling Blizzard stupid for not catering to your wants, which is by the way your opinion not everyone else's.

Exactly!

SC1's speeches is much better,IMO.

Thoughts on Protoss, Blizzard needs to go back and add depth to the Protoss voices. Make them sound vicious and echo-y. That would satisfy me. Most notable on Zealot between 1 and 2.

I think the following units need to be more "deep and gritty":

Archon, High Templar, Dark Templar.

The rest of the Protoss units are great actually.


For Terran, there are these that need to be more diverse (accent-wise) or as someone mentioned "static-y":

Ghost, SCV, Tank.
The BC needs to be re-worked better.

For Zerg, they should be less "underground" and more curt and concise. The loooong grunts and hisses are kinda too similar to the overlord.

The best ones done for Zerg are the Muta, zergling, Queen and drone.

Hydras need to be more "airy" with their "throatiness"... Ultras need more of a Ty-rex sorta sound.
