Topic: AusNS Top Ten 5: Best NS Sounds

Welcome yet again to another AusNS Top Ten. Taking a step back from another who is the best poll, this week we are looking for your favourite NS sound.

Sounds and music are some of the things that made NS so great, from the eerie musical score, to the annoying ambiance that stopped you from hearing that pesky skulk above you, to that sweet sound of a whole buckshot making contact with a fade. Sounds provide us feedback, set the mood and sometimes display a little humour. So the question is, what was your favourite sound in NS?

Re: AusNS Top Ten 5: Best NS Sounds

1. CLEANSE THE INTRUDERS.
2. Leap sound.
3. Onos Death
4. Seige Cannon
5. Losing team sound, I think marines in particular.

Honourable mention: Fade death sound, especially one that had been tormenting the team for ages. I also like the sound when Skulks upgrades finish gestating.

I gotta vote for "you're squad five". Above and beyond all the other squad assign sounds, suad five was dripping with the very essence of intensity, valour and a storied history of battle. Being assigned to squad five made you feel proud to be a marine.

Re: AusNS Top Ten 5: Best NS Sounds

the noise that is made when you joined the server always gave me a warm fuzzy feeling, i think its the same noise as on the autohelp.

Re: AusNS Top Ten 5: Best NS Sounds

The sound of mrc's brilliant mind churning out more great ideas.

Leap: Nothing more game changing then hearing the leap of a skulk when that 4-5 minute mark comes around and its you vs them battling at cargo hive on veil. You either must take that hive down with seiges in the next minute or its bye bye pg/seiges/game.

Sound of Fade hatching: How many times have you tried to sneak up on a fade egg, only to hear it hatch just before you come around the corner. Now its 1vs1 against a fade.. bye bye

Silence: Lack of sound is the most scary audio part of a marine. If you have ever come up against a co-ordinated team of skulks + lerk and your constantly flicking 360's around your screen to cover each direction thats when you know that a lack of sound has owned you smile

Re: AusNS Top Ten 5: Best NS Sounds

1 - You're squad 5. Pretty much the reason richie named the clan s5.
2 - Siege cannon firing noise followed by fade dying (not applicable anymore)
3 - The sound of multiple shotguns/hmgs firing followed by the fade death noise always makes me happy.
4 - the "I need healing" noise aliens make, my brain has trained itself to use heal when i hear that noise.
5 - Any of the marine taunts.

In your comm chair hacking your medpacks!

Re: AusNS Top Ten 5: Best NS Sounds

They're all so context sensitive. A skulk chuckling is a helluva lot more creepy when you don't know where it is.
And times when your onos egg is being shotgunned to death only for you to finish gestating at the last second with a fearsome roar make it a hard one to decide.

1. Primal scream, and all the other aliens around screaming in response. It's a rarely heard sound but hearing it so often means the last stand is about to begin.
2. Skulk footsteps, especially when they're the only sound. Even more especially when the skulk is being sneaky and a single footstep lets you know he's still nearby.
3. Xenocide, no other sound says 3 hives like xenocide does. Primal Scream gets close, but primal scream doesn't explode in your face.
4. Hive death is always a momentous sound. It carries alot of weight with it.
5. Sieges going off always sound powerful, and you just know that something is dieing.

Re: AusNS Top Ten 5: Best NS Sounds

The satisfying sound of hearing spores kill a pesky marine.

Also the sound of an Onos approaching was always kind of scary. Especially if you only had a LMG.
