Well, nerfing it is probably not an option.
Few things to fix(IMO):
- It has a cheezy firing sound. I have created a differant sound for it, but am unable to use it.
Well, it's a rather cheesy weapon, amirite?
The problem with modifying anything is that certain people are going to like it and certain people won't. I (or Timbo) are only going to change these files if there is some public outcry for a change, and so far, I haven't heard anything of the nature so far for most of the sounds in the game.
The only one I think we can all universally agree sucks is the shotgun, and that will be addressed in the future with a brand new sample.
One point I also wanted to make is that unless you own the sound effect through purchasing it from a royalty free website, or the sound effects fall into the free-domain category, or you have recorded the sound effect yourself, we cannot, and will not use them. It is copyright infringement, just as if we stole a sample from Starcraft and used it in our game.
And for the last time, I am not going to use any 'Starcraft' esque effects. Let's just kill these topics before the sprout again :P.
Just my 2 cents.
