(Put on headphones and listen)
And bring in some sound distortion for high explosion (this guy recorded badly, so there's distortion but it sounds better then normal game with bad recording). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EohfD94J5Ws
Now compare that audio to Planetside1 Audio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tJAzT9FVLU There's nothing intimidating about Planetside1 audio.

A sonic boom would be awesome too (even though I doubt these planes will be going fast enough for one, just pretend the speed of sound is slower on Planetside)

Let's put the AWESOME in AUDIO YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
I agree completely! I remember (haven't played in YEARS, mind you) that I first chose Terran because I liked their weapons (and style!), but they never sounded all that satisfying to me. As NC it was pretty awesome to blast someone to pieces with the shotgun, but the blast itself was never that great.

The speed of sound (delay in hearing sound) in this video makes it that much more AWESOME.

Visual first
Audio Bullets hitting second
Audio Plane shooting a distant third
Without using Gaydar. From audio+visual you know that the plane was positioned behind the target you saw hitting it, and it's shooting from a distance.

Bad company 2 has pretty good audio, if PS2 could compare that would be fine with me :-)
Uhh... what?
That's a battlefield game right? It sounds like crap, you can't hear anything past the voice spam. Imagine what Battlefield games would sound like without the voice spam.
