Quake 4 CptFishStick Sound Mod Comparison
This video showcases a Sound Pack I made for Quake 4. This Sound Pack is a simple mod that replaces some of the default weapon sounds in Quake 4. I always felt that many of the weapons in Quake 4 were either too high pitched, underwhelming, or had a quality that was grating to my ears. These new sounds attempt to remedy those issues. It includes Updated Shot and reload sounds for the Blaster, Machine Gun, Shotgun, Nail Gun, and Rail Gun. It is a single Pak file, and can be added and removed easily without affecting the original game files. The sounds included were mixed from a variety of licensed and freely available royalty free sounds. The sources are listed within the Readme.
The most important change to me was the reload sounds. I think they were low quality, and sounded like plastic snapping, not metal. The Machine gun blasts were underwhelming and felt very weak. I increased the Shotgun Bass, and reduced its length so it wouldn't linger. As for the Nail Gun and Blaster shots, neither of them were bad sounds at all, but there was a quality to them that I found irritating when heard repetatively. So they were changed simply to make them pleasent when heard in repetative bursts. The charged blaster shot now has a fizzle at the end that matches the visual particles. The Original Rail gun was fine, but sounded a little weak. I changed this one to give it gravitas.
