Spree sounds / spree music?

Yes. Sprees, lots of them, also combined with small accumulating bonuses.

Please no!

I would rather poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick, than listen to spree sounds.

all i heard from the youtube video was:

llll-oloolololoolol and -bblblblblb-bleh-eh-eh-eh

What I like about HotS is that they keep counting the assists among the sprees. Which makes sense as not every hero is equally capable of landing that final shot so what counts is whether or not you contributed to it.

(BomBaKlaK) #6

Yes if you can disable it.

The mercs can mutter the score to themselves. “two…jup there’s three, alright then, four, check, five” they can crack funny and characteristic stuff that gets better the further the spree goes.

(chippy) #8

Yes if either:

  • We can disable it
  • Customize the sounds

I would strongly prefer this doesn’t happen in objective mode.

To me a good round is one where the outcome is unclear until the last minute, not one where my team camps the enemy spawn ramp and hears a voice over having fits of adulation. That’s fine for TDM or LMS type modes, though.

With the option to turn them off, sure why not. You should really add more than 2 options to your polls though.

Only if you can disable them.

Thats the one. Had the same idea myself. I think it would be so funny if one of the females merc tried to do classic UT announcer to themselves.

(Mustang) #13

Hell yeah!

(tokamak) #14

In that situation it’s the spawn camping that’s the culprit and the spree sounds the consequence.

(BioSnark) #15

The spawn camping and one-sidedness (map design/team skill/team numbers) is the problem and the spree sounds are the game providing extrinsic motivation.

(AssortedStuff) #16

Not a fan but thought of something, it could be your merc delivering those lines. (only you could hear it)
Just a suggestion.

(Nail) #17

I totally agree with “only you can hear it”

Like with your other topic, I believe SD should better spend time on creating mod tools so people can add these to their servers. In my opinion spree sounds have no place in a competitive shooter, but in a pub they are fine (I do not believe pubs are competitive, no matter how serious you might think about playing on pubs :P). In W:ET for example, I added spree sounds on the server I used to run, and I liked them a lot, but I did not miss them at all in competitive matches.

Please SD, give us mod tools :slight_smile:

I was totally against the idea coming into this thread, but if done “in character” by the mercs themselves as a form of taunt, then that could actually be nice. But please allow for the option to disable it.
