Major Disappointment!

I'm sorry, but like I've stated in another post, the sound in this game is so bad that the game in downright unplayable for me and don't get me started on the combat.
Whoever greenlighted the sound in this game should be fired, immediately and it simply amazes me that the team that did the sound for this game can even find work. I've heard better sound from...well almost any game for that matter.
Someone call me when the sounds in this game don't sound like a bunch of static.
Oh and one more thing, can anyone explain to me why the designers chose that sound effect that you hear when you character is running? It sounds like a damn train when I run.
Can you hear the train coming? Chugga, Chugga, Chugga, Chugga, Choo, Choo!

Turn the sound off.

Currently Waiting For: Nothing, found my addiction for awhile
Currently Playing: Warhammer Online - Oblivion, Warrior Priest, Averheim; Team Fortress 2
The game must be close to release for sure the trolls are out in force. All I can say is it must be your computer because the sound is just fine on mine.
Sounds are fine on my computer, where you looking for rap perhaps?
Still watching youtube vids?
Oops sorry.
Like someone said, turn the sound off.
Also, it should be added the game sounds fine to everyone else. Fix your rig. Incompatible sound card, boinked speakers, etc, could all lead to this problem.
Or stop listening to rap. Either or.

Sound is awesome EXCEPT for bright wizards. They sound terrible when getting wounded or casting spells. It doesn't sound remotely human. In fact, it sounds like a 1980s video game character. Other than that, the sound is perfect.

Works great on my pc. Best game i've played in along time (but i played AoC before this so anythings an improvement lol). Cant wait till it comes out.
You Fail...
Ignoring the troll, the sounds in this game are awesome.
PQ1 for greenskins, when the Dwarf boss' voice is echoing on my desktop as he sends his army to fall at the feet of Destruction...so nice.
Ba ba ba ba ba, I'm loving it

Silly Troll is Silly!
OP Post = Extreme Failure
STOP WHINING!
So...... this is just a play for attention?
I really don't see a point to starting a new thread just to repeat yourself. Even if you aren't doing this for attention you obviously think noone listened the first time, they probably wont listen this time either.
Anyone willing to write off a title because of sound, is just one less person to add to the overall game latency.
lol mcdonalds......
Man im gettin so excited about this game.
How should I reply to Mr Troll?
Oh yes! Bye bye! Have fun playing with whatever you find fun... maybe playing with your MP3 for great sound experience (instead of a MMO)!
Mr Troll, if you are not a troll but a concerned player, then you should understand that saying "all the sound sucks" is not productive. Now, if you said something like "the walking sound" or "this abilities sounds" are bothering me. What do you all think? Then... there we will have a discussion.
Meantime, have a cookie, Mr Troll!
Best run game I've had on this pc in awhile. I am shocked at how smoothly the gameplay and graphics are in huge realm vs. realm battles. The sounds and the attention to detail with the sound in this game,is amazing. Clearly the OP has a majorly dissapointing sound card.

'Cry Havoc, and Let Loose the Dogs of WARRRRR!!!'
I have been playing Warhammer for a while, from closed beta till today...
I really like the game, but to be honest, the sound is pretty bad till now...
About the steps sound, all races have a heavy sound with no variation if you are in a wood, grass or rock plataform... See I always use good headphones and I know most people doesnt care about sound effects and music, but I really really care...I hope Mythic improve Warhammer´s sound quality at the release, the art style is great, gameplay is fun, PQs are awesome...but the game need better sounds...
...
Okay, first off like Keeper2000 stated, I may not have worded my concerns with the game in the most beneficial way. Thanks Keep for being mostly meaningful and productive in your response and helping me rethink what I wrote. But I am definitely having some major sound issues.
Secondly and most importantly, uidLuc1d, I never said anything about writing off the game. I still fully intend to purchase the Collector's Edition that I preordered, so stop with the drama.
To those of you that doubt my computer, I have a really hi-end PC with GX2 graphics card and more importantly a X-Fi Fatality sound card and I keep all of my drivers current.
Umbral mentioned that he is having the very same issues that I am experiencing and also mentioned that he has a nice set of headphones and really cares about quality sound in the games he plays. As I am a home theater enthusiast, I can agree with him completely. I too have a really nice (5.1 channel) headset and love games with good sound. So maybe the reason we are hearing these sound issues and most of you are not is due to the fact that you are probably playing with inferior hardware that is not picking up the extra static and noise that we are are, or you just simply may have lower standards about the quality of sound in your game.
If someone else is using an X-Fi Fatality sound card, I would greatly appreciate it if you could post your in-game audio settings as I would love to find a fix for what I am hearing other than those ignorant people out there that are recommending that I turn the sound off. Oh, and by the way, I hate Rap.
Furthermore, I am not a troll and not burnt out on MMOs. I actually happen to love them as I currently carry subscriptions to more than four MMOs, although like a lot of others am intending to cancel my AoC subscription due to Funcom's lies and deceptive ways. Also of note, I haven't at all tried to steer anyone in the direction of another game.
I'd also like to add, Cochran1, obviously you listened, and responded, so if I were you I would try not to post comments that make you sound like an idiot even if you are in truth, an idiot.
Lastly, I will be the first to respond with I am wrong along with an apology if indeed the issue with sound is on my end, but for some reason all the other games that I play happen to sound really good.

it's a huge difference in bad sound design & bad sound quality.
and im sure the op refers to the sound design!
Want to play: Lego Universe

How pathetic, really don't think they will be bothered about this, hell when im playing an mmo i don't care about the sound.. jeez how you people notice these things i don't know, play to many games im guessing.
Play the game and enjoy it.
Mythic does care about sound. They will fix sound quality and such, but it will not be for a few months. DAOC had a revamped soundtrack added to it sometime after it's first expansion. That game's sound effects got better too.
I'll have to play the game with head phones one of these days to hear this poor quality people speak of.
The chugga chugga footsteps are correct, but it isn't relaly loud at all. All other sounds seem ok to me. No static really.
Don't play then. The combat and sound of Warhammer are fine. The combat system is awesome because every class has their own way of playing and have special modifiers like "Balance" on the Sword Master
Nekros, I will agree and take back what I said about the combat as it is starting to grow on me a lot more. I'm coming from AoC though, so the combat system in WAR seems like it's not as involving. But, I'll take a less involved combat system rather than to stick with AoC and all of it's other problems. I have much more faith in Mythic than Funlies.
