More sound effects

[Grypho]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Add more sound effects for various events and actions. Maybe even more music for most dramatic moments.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
It is said that "sound world is half of the gameplay experience", and that is true. It would make the game cooler to play.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
My ideas where more sound could be added:

- When a shuttle lands
- When deploying plastic explosives
- Vocal speech announcing USCM and M.O.T.H.E.R announcements
- Music for last marine standing.
- Radio transmission sounds for command radio channel
- Sound when climbing down/up the ladders
And a lot more that don´t come to my mind yet.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
-

[Egorkor]

import the c4 planting sound from counter-strike, cause we can.
the command channel sounds aren't needed, due to the constant radio traffic.
last stand music, eh, would rather leave it admin-only.

- Radio transmission sounds for command radio channel

I think everytime we have a radio chat we could have sounds from EXALT/HECU/Combine radio garble, like when we have the sound effect when xenos and preds talk

For example:

Jonh Doe says: [Sulaco]: Watch flanks!

We have one of those sounds coming from the marine:

BUT ONLY when using the radio

[SASoperative]

Last stand music would be left up to the staff members. Radio chatter on the radios I am against as well that would ruin any remaining stealth elements marines get.
The rest I can do with though.

That's the objective.
It would remove marine stealth but add more ayylium stealth.

Talk to rahlzel, he's done our sound effects.

[Rahlzel]

I like a few of these, and one of them is sorely needed - when a shuttle lands. I'll keep these on the backburner. We have a lot of bugs to fix at the moment.

REmember:

The more sounds, the bigger the download, and the more lag.

Aliens have enough stealth already. Marines' only stealth - hiding in locker and it is enough too. Bad idea, really.

Since when are the MARINES supposed to be stealthy?

Like, seriously, the Aliens' stealth is one of the few things they have going for them. And in the movies they snuck around and killed people, like, stealth is their whole aspect. Marines are supposed to go in guns blazing because they have higher firepower.

Did you read what I wrote? Hiding in locker - enough level of stealthiness for marines. Aliens are stealth enough when they are out of sight, in darkness or in another room. This part of gameplay is balanced enough, don't touch it. Also, chatter from radio could be heard maximum 2-3 tiles from marine, no sense in it at all.

Sorry. you worded it like you wanted Marines to get stealth capabilities, which would've been ridiculous.

[Terminator541]

Radios are noisy. If you want to hide from the Ayys, then the simple solution is turn off your radio. Not to mention that marines aren't supposed to be stealthy, they're supposed to go in loud and come out bloody.

I feel this is going off-topic and becoming a salt war. Stay on topic please and provide feedback of my sound ideas instead of concentrating your attention on a single un-necessary detail.

[Snypehunter007]

Shuttle landing has been added.

The rest have not.
