Battlefield Bad Company 2: Audio - Hi-Fi vs War Tapes

[XMMM94]

i have a problem with the audio. I can hear the bullets and most of the sound fx on the left speaker. On the right speaker i can hear the voices only. Any idea?

[TCGuardianAngel19]

Holy crap, how did I not know of this sound differennce!! -_-

[rrgert4]

lol why is the "bad " option called HiFi :D yeah but war tapes are beast ! i hope they will come in BF3

[serioussaad]

is the war tapes option includes in ps3 and xbox ???

[Gunz13andit]

@serioussaad Yeah

[serioussaad]

@Gunz13andit

coooool !!! XD

[serioussaad]

@Gunz13andit

is the xbox graphics as like as the ps33 graphics ???

[Gunz13andit]

@serioussaad Its the same thing...but the PS3 would have a higher frame rate since it has a better processor...

[Septagotius]

@Gunz13andit And less ram. 

[finthallon]

@Gunz13andit No the Xbox would have the better framerate since it has the better GPU. l2computer.

[Mega0Chalupa]

@finthallon

GPU isn't the only thing that factors into a good framerate.

[finthallon]

@Mega0Chalupa No, but it's a way bigger contribution than the CPU, there's a reason they call it a Graphics Processing Unit.

[Mega0Chalupa]

@finthallon

But you do realize that the PS3's processor does assists the GPU when put under stress? That's why games generally look better on the PS3 than they do on the 360.

[finthallon]

@Mega0Chalupa Oh wow you really don't understand anything about computers, so why would you try to argue about it?

And 360 games generally looks much better, every multiplatform does and 360 games are usually rendered it 720p unlike PS3 games which almost every exclusive is rendered in 600p and then upscaled to make people think it's "FULL HD OMG", but it's the same resolution as my original Xbox.

[NAYI94]

@finthallon Wow your such an idiot thats all im going to say, wow

[youdontsmokeweedmell]

@finthallon

fuckin hell who let the 360 fanboi out of its cage?

PS3 owns the 360 and just so you know, I'm a PC gamer (which kicks the shit out of any crappy console)

[finthallon]

@youdontsmokeweedmell You're not a PC gamer, you're a PS3 fanboy.

The 360 has better graphics than the PS3, simple facts, but you're too stupid to understand something as easy as that because you're determined that the PS3 is better because you're dumb and biased.

[ObliviuxProductions]

@finthallon

Actually no, the PS3 has better graphics. Sounds like you're the fanboy.

[finthallon]

@ObliviuxProductions Actually no, the Xbox 360 has better graphics, it has more RAM and a better GPU allowing better textures and the use of anti-aliasing and deeper shadows.

Simple facts.

[ObliviuxProductions]

@finthallon

Graphics don't have to be entirely dependent on the GPU, which is the case with the PS3. It's the reason why no 360 game can ever look as good as PS3 exclusives. Simple facts.

[finthallon]

@ObliviuxProductions Uh, graphics are heavier on the GPU than the CPU, plus it has more RAM.

Your arguments are just plain retarded, why do you even bother attempting to deny it?

You're like an 8-year-old child.

[ObliviuxProductions]

@finthallon

Please, don't try to act like you know what you're talking about.

Graphics can be run on the CPU or GPU. You can run a game with no GPU, in fact.

It just so happens to be that its become a standard to program games to run the graphics on a dedicated GPU. With the PS3, if you have a team of dedicated programmers, you can make great graphics if you make well use of the multiple threads the CPU PS3 has. Something that the 360 cannot do (it can, but it has little to benefit from).

[finthallon]

@ObliviuxProductions You can run a game with no GPU, a horrible game with no graphics, or a newer game at all settings at the lowest and at the lowest screen resolution.

GPU + RAM > CPU, it's not harder than that.

Also you cannot create great graphics for a PS3, it's 7 year old hardware, no matter what you do it will still look like shit, so will the 360, except the 360 will look like prettier shit.

[ObliviuxProductions]

@finthallon

Oh and care to explain what happens if you can efficiently use the GPU and CPU for rendering graphics?

Killzone 3, God of war III, Uncharted 3 happens. Even if your brain is too primitive to understand simple concepts or do your own research it must be capable of AT LEAST seeing the obvious graphics leap that PS3 exclusives have over the 360, no? I'm done trying to educate you. You can stay ignorant if you want. and the discussion wasn't whether they produced pretty graphics or not

[kungfufreak360]

@Gunz13andit not that much better

[FieryRam123]

@serioussaad The difference between the PS3 and the Xbox version of the BC2 is the contrast, nothing else. See the official comparision videos. DICE made a good job making both version look equal than BC1.

[patpatomegatron]

I used war tapes because the name was cool, now i realize just how awesome it is

[Crawlerz2468]

war tapes = eargasm!

[Squa7ch]

@Crawlerz2468 It would be fine for Single Player but for MP it drowns everything out and you can't hear the enemies that well

[ztikmaen]

War Tapes + Bose Headphones = Me scared

[aznguyen316]

@ztikmaen awesome can't wait to try this with my HD555 + mixamp yeeawww

[Firemarok]

so basically unless you have crap speakers..use the war tapes setting..(especially if you have surround sound :D )

[shinn0123]

War Tapes ftw

[fjp0022]

how change the sound ???

[crisitano2]

sooooo... we can change the sound mod of the game? =O

[Krudtprikken]

what is best for 7.1 headphones?

[CODMASTA]

MINIGUN....

[Pyrotechnican]

war tapes ftw!

[HumanOFtheWeek3000]

ok so war tapes is better? i have 5.1 HeadPhones what would the sound settings be for me?

[FatDaws]

@HumanOFtheWeek3000

i cant for the life of me make my Sharkoon 5.1 headphones sound right in BC2 it all sounds muffled with an echo, i cant hear enemy gun fire even though i can be stood right next to em, this is the only game im having problems with :(

[camper182]

how come you got the game already

[ROracheski]

@camper182 I write a gaming column for a newspaper.

[camper182]

Oh ok.

you should show more guns and ambient noise with the different settings

[TOBIjenster]

@ROracheski lol the leaked Version :D

[teUnic0rn]

@camper182

He most likely had the beta.

[camper182]

@teUnic0rn There was no singleplayer in the public betas
