Use headphones only with any virtual surround features turned off.

This is a demonstration of Call of Duty 2 with the X-Fi Titanium's native CMSS-3D HRTF. While the sound mixing is not as good as COD1 and the HRTF is slightly less accurate, there's no denying that Pointe du Hoc sounds absolutely incredible. It really is tragic what happened to the sound design of the Call of Duty series. Sound effects were once COD's greatest strength, but now they're one of the biggest jokes about this massive cashcow franchise.

I apologize for the sound quality. Youtube must've applied some kind of loudness equalization, because the HRTF is more prominent in the raw footage. It also completely butchered the video quality from around 7:30 to 8:55. WTF?

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.
