Footsteps too loud

I think it's safe to assume that footsteps are a major issue at the moment.
With headset, you can hear enemies way too loud. This is also the reason why most people lay down at the corner and wait for you to pop up only to kill you.

Don't run around without "Inconspicuous".

Inconspicuous only reduces your footsteps when walking or crouch walking just FYI. You're just as loud as you normally are when sprinting with the perk. Mountain Division is the best way to make your footsteps totally silent no matter what which is very overpowered in my opinion since the game provides no way to counter this. No awareness perk in the game makes it impossible to hear a mountain division player even when they are right next to you unless they have landed from a high place(feet crunch), make a callout, or reload.

I agree with the points you're making. I meant footsteps in general. You can literally hear them from a mile away. This causes many people to lay down by pressing CTRL, and wait for you to run around the corner. Kinda ruins the fun IMO. Inconspiciuous is closest to fair terms as of now. I use it on all divisions.

The Running is about 1/2 as loud as running without the perk.
When you're walking, it's like crouchwalking without the perk (Maybe a bit quieter.)
And I haven't tested crouchwalking with it, but I'd asume it's not much better than walking.
Most of the time people won't hear you at all.

But the footstep sound does need to be toned down just a little. It's like they weight 500lbs and are jumping, every footstep.
You can, not overexadurating here, hear them halfway across the map.

Inconspicuous works well and if you want dead silent, run the mountain class.
The problem isn't footsteps, that's pretty normal in all the COD's. Granted, some more than others, but I've been sound whoring Call of Duty for years. It's amazing what a real sound card and a set of Astros will produce in terms of 360 degree sound.
The problem is the fact that they've taken our ability to build a kit as we see fit using the weapons and perk combinations that work best for our individual gaming style. They probably did it because some scrub ass dev got tired of getting his ass handed to him in MP because he's too stupid to figure out what works best with what. So, you know, in the name of fairness to the stupid ♥♥♥♥♥, they've dumbed down create a class to the lowest common denominator. Kind of like our school system.
Go figure.
