The headshot sound

[Lascera]

Turn that s*** down in CS2, I don't want my eardrums split open every time the enemy scores, I didn't check an angle or the winning team f***s around in casual.

Absolute cancer of a sound effect. I know the devs are aiming for "le realism" when they turned the volume up to jet engine levels, and it certainly makes sense when you dink an enemy, but serves no practical purpose whatsover other than scaring the Bujesus out of you even if you see it coming from a mile away.

It makes sense to turn up your master volume for extra sound cues in-game but the headshot sound is set way outta proportion. Adjust that s****!

Check your sound settings, the 'Dink' sound is no louder than most other sounds in my games.

The devs have never aimed for realism. This game is aimed towards the competitive community. You have agents in this game with no helmet what so ever and it makes a helmet tink which further proves it's not aimed towards realism.

More to the point though I wouldn't be against the idea if they gave you the option to lower it. Doesn't bother me though unless someone is negev spamming me in spawn in casual. Then it's annoying af.

nah there's no sound option to adjust the level of incoming headshot damage, Valve does it on purpose to piss you off and sustain a negative feedback cycle of salty addiction. It's like game psychology 101.

Same goes for the domination sounds, I don't need to know what enemies I periodically kill over and over during the match, nor am I interested in antagonizing anyone out of the playerbase for playing the game correctly.

The devs have always aimed for realism.

Proof: Movement inaccuracy

Yes because being shot in the head by an M4 when all your character has on is sunglasses and surviving is VERY realistic. Same with being shot in teh chest 3 times with a desert eagle. Super realistic!

No, that's just a mechanic of the game itself. Not an indication of them aiming for realism....

it's what makes the shooting mechanics closer to reality, look a the way glass shatter in CS2, look at how smoke blooms in the sequel, so realism is an aspect of the stylistic design.

A blend of realism and minimalism, in order to make the visuals seem believable and keep everything optimized to run in a blievable fashion.

Imagine being able to play CS2 while others wait.
MMMMMmmmm niceee... we will wait another 10 years for release.
