It's super embarrassing how bad the sound is in this game. That and the interpolation they use (it's hilarious watching PUBG report kills and seeing how different it looks from the other perspectives).
This game should literally be dominating the world, they've just spent years not being about to get the basics right.
It's not even optimization, the game runs pretty well right now. They just can't get the base features of a shooter working, and honestly I don't believe they are actually realize the problems. There is just no excuse for the sound to be so bad, and in this day and age your interpolation shouldn't have people meters out of place to other players.The game needs to be rebuilt from the ground up with a competent dev team. Maybe change engines, maybe not, but it really does need to just be completely scrapped and done again. Keep the maps, guns, vehicles, everything else, and start from scratch with optimization at the forefront.
I mean the game has always had problems, it's just how much those problems are disruptive to your enjoyment of the game. Certain things have gotten better over the years, like performance is way better. The shit with the sound and stuff getting worse lately though, stuff I posted about, it's when you get frustrated dying to things you feel are completely out of your control that make the game unenjoyable enough to want to play something else instead.I think most people figured how shitty this game was and quit long ago.
I guess we've all truly given up on the game, including me. Oh well
