Halo 5 needs an Audio slider.
Posted By: bryan newman <newman4208@Hotmail.com>Date: 2/28/13 4:46 a.m.


Almost every AAA game has an audio slider, even Call of Duty, a game with no discernible value to either the dialogue, or it's music (Maybe sound effects) has an audio slider. Why not Halo?

I am afraid I cannot direct you to a quote, this is based off of memory, but back in 1976 when Star Wars was being made, George Lucas, John Williams and the lead sound effects guy (forgot his name) all had a big argument over what should be louder: Music or Sound effects. In the end the consensus was made that the music should be slightly louder than the effects because after all music can drive emotion, sound effects don't.

Halo 4 has this very distinct problem where I can barely hear the damn music. Neil Davidge did a rather decent job with the game's music (Nemesis and Revival in particular) it just sucks that every time the particularly good songs come up they are obscured by sound effects. This is most notable at the end of the level 'Shut Down' when chief jumps on the Liches and follows Didact into slip space...

Summary: Give me an Audio slider, so I can hear DAT MUSIC.
