More on Spotting, Music in Multiplayer and BF3 Soundtracks - DICE Talks Sound Design

Tomas Danko, voice-over producer at DICE talks Battlefield 3 sound design.

[TheBeast]

I just want this game...stop teasing for the love of god.

[iXenon]

This!

[Criminal]

Yep, Beta can't get here soon enough. I can't wait to get my hands on BF3.

[Mister_V]

I gotta get me some sick headphones to really hear the intensity of BF3!

[Criminal]

Astros or Turtle Beach?

[Undeadwolfy]

I have Turtle Beach DPX21's. They are really awesome and about half the price of Astros. I cant really see how much extra quality I'd get for double the price. For starting out on headphones and you dont have much of a budget, get these. I may upgrade to A40's when I have the money. I really want the MGS4 A40's *drools*

[Hitman0769]

Game is shaping up to be a real beast lately especially the co-op single player features.

[xtremexx]

i just cant wait, reviews better be amazing for this game

[Mister_V]

My fav VO line:

F*CK ME GRENADE!!!

[Swiggins]

I lol'd

[egidem]

Dice and their VO lines in MP are always awesome.

I like it when people knife each other. "Huh? You want some of this?"

The US Medic is awesome...the carefree smiling guy with lines like "Oh Sweet Jesus! That hurts!" or "There you go, you're all fixed up now!". My favorite is when he's shooting like crazy non stop going "FIRE! FIRE!". In contrast, the Russian medic NEVER smiles. He's always in a pissed off mood.

The recon has by far some of the funniest lines: when trying to knife someone "Huh? You want some of this?" I saw one run towards a wooden fence and when he couldn't jump it, he decided to knife it at the same time saying "Motherfcuker!" I just laughed.

[JellyJelly]

If it's any area where I will never ever doubt DICE it's in sound design/engineering.

[Criminal]

Spot on, DICE's BF games are all great in the audio department. But, did you really like the sound in Medal of Honor MP?

[BeOneWithTheGun]

I choose to pretend that MOH was not DICE. I say Al Queda took over their servers and made that abortion of a game. They are trying to bankrupt corporate America one MP server at a time.

[Gran Touring]

"...have 170 medic-related, 190 medkit-related & 227 revive/heal-related VO lines for MP in BF3"

wow

[FAGOL]

Anyone else hear a women say "Obviously people that work here don't know what they're talking about" in the loading screen for BF:BC2 sometimes?

[DoomeDx]

Hmm tell more

[Farsendor1]

wow indeed this game is shaping up to be one of the best ever.

[ThrazN7]

I hope dice releases multiple expansions. 5 maps,new weapons,new vehicles.

[Swiggins]

New Maps is fine, but you can NEVER sell new weapons, that creates massive imbalance for the players who didn't buy the packs.

1st law of DLC: Never Sell Power, for that Splinters the Playerbase.

[IaMs12]

I hope they release REAL expansions like they did with Vietnam. Like Blizzard how Blizzard releases its expansions for Warcraft III, WoW, and Diablo II.

[electricshadow]

My favorite VO in Bad Company 2 was definitely after getting an avenger kill, your soldier would say "Payback motherf*cker, see how that s*it works?" I laughed so hard the first time i heard that.

[Mister_V]

Man, that's a good one too!

[NewVegasTroop]

does this mean custom soundtrack for PS3?

[FAGOL]

Read the article at least

[NewVegasTroop]

lol yeah im sorry for not reading the article, you could at least answer my question instead of being rude

[jocomat9]

im wondering the same thing.

[Solo227]

I started out playing with my 47inch crappy speakers and loved the sounds in Bad Company... Forget headphones...

Ill be upgrading to a 7.1 Digital Surround sound system before I pick up the game...

Earphones are cool and all... But I rather feel the ground shake as a tank rolls by...

[blackhammer]

Music.

I prefer the first two games. Every other BF game, didn't know there was any music.

[TheObserver]

I don't like how the voices give away my position, many many times. Like a random grenade that causes the character to yell when it is not a threat to myself or teammates. I wonder how they are going to fix that.
