Use headphones only with any virtual surround features turned off.

Say what you will about Call of Duty, but there's no denying that the first installment in this dead horse of a franchise truly was a masterpiece. While its graphics look terrible by today's standards, the sound design is nothing short of perfection. Every rumbling explosion, every rifle blast; is it any wonder that Chuck Russom won an award for "Excellence in Audio"? Combine this spectacular soundscape with the X-Fi Titanium's native CMSS-3D HRTF and you get what might possibly be the most immersive military FPS game ever created. Ironic, too, since COD has become infamous for its pathetic, airsoft-like gunshot sounds.

I apologize for the sound quality. Youtube must've applied some kind of loudness equalization, because the voices are louder and the HRTF is more prominent in the raw footage.

Considering that COD is a copy-and-paste franchise, it might actually be possible to get this level of HRTF in ANY newer Call of Duty game that uses mss32.dll (Miles Sound System). Almost every game that uses mss32.dll can be enabled in ALchemy to restore the DirectSound3D drivers. I read on Steam that Modern Warfare 3 uses mss32.dll, so any actual COD fans in the comments let me know if your post-COD4 games use mss32.dll.
