New Pulse Grenade and Possible chaff buff

[neth]

EAX will be in PS but not used incorrectly like UBI did. It will be used the way it was originally intended.

how will it be used ?

[MR.Mic]

What about the spy being able to shoot the grenade to disable it?

That would take some serious aiming skills to accomplish.

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

Yeah, but it wouldn't be possible on older systems, unless PS has less system requrements than it has now...
I get avg 13 FPS in UT3 demo.

[Farley4Fan]

How exactly will it be used correctly?  The question is if you can hear frags launching or not regardless of EAX.

I sure hope not. What you hear should not be dependent on what sound card you have. Thats just stupid.

If EAX does anything it should just be better 3D positional audio, it shouldn't make you hear things you normally wouldn't. Ever.

EAX is like a legal cheat right now. I think there should be no EAX at all. Theres absolutely no reason why some people should have advantage only because they have better hardware

Such as proxy mines?

advantage because of better hardware? stfu
if you can't afford to spend 20-60€ on a proper sound card (which is crucial for good music reproduction anyways) you shouldn't play video games but get a rl...
it's the same with mic (<10€), pointless topic.
i wonder why noone complains that some players got a better mouse etc  ::)

Such as everything.

There's no reason why EAX should have you be playing an entirely different game. It's like having smoke be opaque on one graphics card but transparent on another. It's just plain stupid, and it'll be bad game design if the designers continue to give EAX the ability to hear inaudible noises. If a sound is supposed to be audible, it should be audible, if it's not supposed to be audible, then it shouldn't be audible, regardless of what hardware you happen to be running.

Guys, EAX works well normally. It's just that the EAX in SCCT isn't working well. I have a SoundBlaster Live! soundcard and it supports EAX 2 I believe. And it's like 5-6 years old. So I'd reckon getting one is really cheap.

[Farley4Fan]

If you want anything like a legal cheat in a video game then stfu.  You shouldn't play video games. That's an oxymoron, Legal Cheat.  That's like saying legal crime, it doesn't make sense.  It should be illegal, it shouldn't help you.

[Gawain]

in ct you hear way too less with eax disabled and way too much with eax enabled.

[Farley4Fan]

Exactly.  And if you can't hear a frag being fired with EAX in PS then you should give spy something that can counter frags.  On console you don't have EAX.  On steel squat you are basically screwed the second you see a frag come in through the window because you can't hear it being fired.  If you can't hear frags in PS, you should either make chaff disable frags or give spies Pulse nades.

If youre talking about this bug, its a CT bug not a PS bug.

I dont have to buy anything, I can just enter random site with cheats and download some.
In that case You pay, I dont, so who's the loser ?

Thats the point.

Could you please let me see through walls, thanks to my graphics card? If you think its unfair, you can always buy one.


This is completely rubbish, you could just screw EAX and make ALL people hear same things no matter what card they have, but no! Because YOU have soundcard with EAX its VERY FAIR that it will be implemented.
