what, are they adding silencers to guns?
it's not like there's much potential variety in gun sounds.
a gun is a gun is a gun. it will pretty much always be loud.
unless they decide to give us phasers.

I suspect guns will still be much noisier than bows and crossbows. I think there will be a difference between the sound of bows and crossbows instead of being the same like they are now. Guns will probably only get a reduction in volume.

When I was playing around on the demo, the gun sounds were pretty nice! They seemed like an actual gun silencer, but with a little more pop and, more importantly, more variety in the firing sounds than your standard *BLAM* *BOOM* *POW* that we all know.

It was really nice and I hope that there'll be some footage or sound files made available soon so people could listen.

Personally, I'm the exact opposite. I can't stand how quiet bows and crossbows are. I mean, how are you supposed to know when you fire your shots in half the time when the *twang twang* of your bow is bled out by the soothing sounds of SCHWINGFWOOMPEWPEWFWOOOMBROOOOOOOAAAARRGGHHHSHINGSHINGSHINGFWONGBOOMBZZZZZAAZAZAAAAPFYUUUUUUUUM?

Haha same here, fish :D When I was starting wow and trying different race/class combos, I couldn't find that one sweet place to call "mine" untill I've tried a dwarven huntress. Thundering gun + roaring bear = LUV<3

Honestly, I'm shocked that no one has yet brought this up. If new weapon sounds end up being like that, I won't complain.

I love the sound of my gun, when I can't hear it (from a polymorph outfit etc) I start panicking. Especially during barrage, ratatatat. The gunshots help me remember to do my 'rotation'.
