Fun thing is...

The only Unit-Sound for Zerg that really stands out.... Is the Overlord crapping creep (and maybe the Queen injecting Larva)... Which for some weird reason make more noise than any other thing any Zerg unit does...

This is true, I think the Overlord generating creep is a little over the top. Blizz needs to get it right, make the sounds that truly matter to the player louder, and tone down the sounds that are less of a critical event. For example, if 12 zealots are in my base slashing at my hatchery, i better hear it like knives and forks clattering against plates (like in SC1)

This topic deals about the crapiness of SC2 sound.
That topic deals about crappy sound not being heard from a distance.

Actually, i wrote this topic to address primarily the unit voices, not sound in general. Sound effects have been discussed at length in many previous threads.

agree completly with the op, also the sounds from units weapons and such arent at the lvl they were in SC:BW. When a sieged tank hits your unit in BW you basicly shit your pants compared to the sounds in SC2 where you barely notice it... i really hope theyve got new sounds for the release...

Wow

After hearing them, there really is a distinctly sharp pitch in all the voices of the original game that's absent in SC2.
Pretty intriguing though I'm not sure how to fix this problem. Maybe just put the old voices into the new game? There's some low-res quality about it but I'm sure they can be remastered.

So because you aren't used to the new sounds you don't like them?

In a year people will look back and laugh at threads like this.

I have listened to the sounds, and some do need improvement.
Ghost- Badass, but rather young. Mengsk must be filtering his ghost program again.
Protoss- Indeed they sound too human. A example you guys might not like, but can agree with, is like the Elites from Halo. Once you understood them, (2 onwards) they stopped being as cool.
Zerg- Nice vids, shuffle up the sounds, and see if any Starcraft fan can identify them XD.
I post only when my brain works.

I'll actually have to disagree. I I think that the voices are totally fine, sure some of the sc1 sounds are better but in my opinion some of the sc2 voices are better than their sc1 counterpart. I really like the new ghost and carrier for example and the old Ultra sounds like someone moving a sofa where as now they actually sound like the big ass creepy animals they are.

SC1 sounds were all loud, rude, and over-the-top.

In SC2, only the Marauder has the SC1 rudeness to it. Pretty much everything else sounds toned down. I am almost offended by how wimpy the Zerglings sound - although roaches and hydras actually aren't bad.

Also, the SC2 attack sounds are REALLY quiet. Whether it's zealots, tanks, mutalisks, or carriers, in SC1 you could wear a blindfold and still tell pretty much how a battle is going. SC2 you really can't. This could be pretty easily changed, just by making attack sounds a lot louder compared to ambient stuff like harvesting and background music.

The worst part is that the Archon went from sounding like an eraged god to sounding like a very lame electric blanket monster.

The only unit sounds I really love from SC2 are:

Battlecruiser
Thor
Immortal

The rest are either OK or terrible. I hate how all the Zerg units all sound like the same thing but at a different pitch, they've lost any resemblance of character they once had in Starcraft.

overall what we want to say is that the voices in sc2 are pansified versions of the testosterone filled gut gripping voices of broodwar. when a zealot spoke in broodwar, i could imagine the dirt and scars on him. he was not a dude you would want to mess around with. the zerglings were also very intimidating when with that huge BAK BAK BAK sound they made when they attacked and the sound interceptors made when coming out of the carrier would just go over everything else in the battle field except for maybe the siege tank shots. all those things added the terror to each individual unit's role and identity.

the vulture had a less of a bang to in its attack but it illustrated its fast harrasing role, while the spider mine gave you that high tech terror feel. but i always felt that the siege tank voice and sounds was the epitome of the whole theme of starcraft unit voices. there was nothing better than "DELIGHTED TO SIR!!!" "READY TO ROLL OUT!!" and yes i had to type that in caps.

then you had the archon, which was also very intimidating. he had much shorter and more meaningful lines than the monologues of like 6+ words we hear from the protoss voices in sc2. POWER OVERWHELMING. WE BURRRRRRN.

I really think this thread says alot. Really well done. And 100% about taking SC1 unit voices/ alerts for granted. I love SC2... but as a whole its one of the weakest parts of the games. Thank you for making such a great post.
