CoD expert reveals huge audio change in Modern Warfare 2 patch ActivisionBuried in the Modern Warfare 2 Season 1 patch notes, Activision \u201cimproved footstep audio,\u201d but CoD expert Xclusive Ace revealed a much different story. One of the biggest complaints from Modern Warfare 2\u2019s Open Beta was \u201cloud\u201d footstep audio. The community also voiced concerns over Dead Silence\u2019s conversion to a Field Upgrade instead of a loadout perk. Loud footsteps and the removal of Dead Silence as a perk encouraged camping, as CoD YouTuber JGOD argued in his MW2 review. The Call of Duty guru claimed campers could easily sit and wait out aggressive players more noticeably than other titles. On September 27, the developers responded, \u201cwe have seen your continued feedback on the volume of footsteps and will continue to balance enemy\/friendly footstep audio ahead of launch.\u201d In the Modern Warfare 2 Season 1 update on November 16, Activision patched footstep audio, and CoD expert Xclusive Ace revealed a secret behind the change. MW2 footstep audio increased in Season 1 update Activision claimed, \u201cthe audio team has made significant improvements to the audio system to address this clear area.\u201d Community members wanted a decrease in footstep volume, but Xclusive Ace analyzed audio peaks and concluded, \u201cit appears footstep volume was increased by roughly 75%.\u201d He continued, \u201cTo be clear, it may not be a 75% increase across the board. And also, as someone pointed out, Db aren\u2019t linear. Either way, it\u2019s very noticeably louder after the update.\u201d One user argued, \u201cCould this be another unintentional side effect since MW2 and WZ2 share a lot of code and are part of the same app?\u201d All quality-of-life changes made in MW2 Season 1 carry over to WZ2, so some players believe the developers prioritized Warzone gameplay over Multiplayer. A second person added, \u201cHopefully, it\u2019s a glitch because it\u2019s so easy to listen to people trying to be sneaky now.\u201d We will provide an update if we learn specific details about the latest audio patch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
