What'd you expect from a creature the size of a foot?

I like the Dretch taunt. However, the Basy's is hard to hear and comes out delayed (you're usually better off using the jump sound). If anything, I'd rather see that one addressed.

It's delayed for its animation. Do cg_thirdperson 1 cg_thirdpersonangle 180 and watch the animation.

The basi does have a small VERY quiet sound at the beginning of its taunt, but you can't even hear it over a luci passing by.

2. Don't quote large images.

The tremx humans wear dorky black uniforms. And their eyes are crossed like retards. Has anyone else noticed that?!

Thank you for the advice and as the other post pointed out (to my embarrassment) it isn't the right uniforms

Do what I do: alternately press the jump and taunt keys in rapid succession.
Works for making the dretch audible, and makes any other alien quite a PITA to listen to.  Brings the hummies right around the corner for a quick luncheon with friends.  xD

Yes. Of course.

it is SO easy to change the sound.... infact, i changed the default tyrant taunt into a loud, long belch.... ;P, which was surprisingly funny....but annoying to say the least....xD

Perhaps just finding a way to make the default dretch sound comparatively louder than the surrounding sounds.  :dragoon:

Yeah, and have that taunt make you a walking stereo/radio for 3 minutes or whatever. A walking radio ingame! The best!

Now, I am scared. I will run. Away. Fast. Then again, that would be slightly amusing. Especially if you could hide on the wrong side of a wall (as in, using the map, not a wall glitch. Though that might work too...) and blare loudly. Especially death metal!
