Use headphones only with any virtual surround like Windows Sonic turned off. Best HRTF effects at 1:23, 3:18, 4:52, and 8:08. People prone to motion sickness be careful: I switch to FPP by accident at 10:59 and keep it for the rest of the video.

This is Double Action: Boogaloo with OpenAL Soft's HRTF through DSOAL (IRC_1037 tables). After I made the weapons showcase for WilsonC, I realized that some of my subscribers may not have ever seen this game in action. Therefore, I decided to record a quick botmatch just to show my gratitude to my subscribers before I uninstalled it. DA:B doesn't use VAC for anti-cheat AFAIK, so you should be safe. I still played on -insecure, regardless.

As a Source engine mod, the binaural audio isn't the greatest as it seems to use virtual speaker placements rather than object-based 3D. You can hear it in this map when you're on one floor and the bots are on another, but everyone sounds like they're on the same elevation.
