Mutalisks, as far as I can tell, don't have an attack sound, much less a high screech like in BW. They probably technically do have a sound effect that plays when they attack, but only technically since I don't notice it. Hydras used to squirt. You could see the green goo on the screen and hear it happen. Now they shake and there's another kind of swishing effect.  Buff zerg sound effects. | ||

Thing is, I find SC in general has a lack of sound for a game trying t0 improve on the old. For instance, if you select one of MANY different units in the game, you get absolutely NO sound feedback (rocks, minerals, gas, even some buildings I think). I also found that sound effects get cut off when another one is playing and it doesn't play multiple sound effects at once like it would in starcraft 1. I find this rather annoying, since it's impossible to tell how many units spawned based off the sound. | ||

The game being as it is I didn't concentrate on the exact sounds that was playing when the queen should have screeched...but still, at the risk of confusing the listener they should enable multiple sounds to be audible at the same time. If I'm waiting for the QueenScreech I'll hear it, even though Grandma wants me to "spawn more overloyyds..." | ||

Another one was a soap they had in the bathrooms at Blizzard HQ, which someone found out made a cool sound after having a shit in the bog. They wasted their time IMO. They should have just improved the SC1 Zerg sounds. | ||

 I doubt if the quality of those sound effects will actually be ever surpassed. In beta I already noticed that many of the zerg sounds lacked 'power' in them. Like they just rubbed some pieces of paper together while recording it with a mic.. But then, buffing sound effects is a "content" thing and I seriously doubt Blizz will work on something like content other than HotS... I mean they already got our money.. | ||

As far as zerg sounds being too squishy, i agree. But i wonder if they purposely made the sounds in sc2 less volatile because of youtube streams etc having lower quality audio. If you watch CellaWerras stream the sounds for zerg are alot more punchy, but it is due to the lower quality of the sound. Maybe Blizzard just wants to keep the game accessible to mass wide audience by making sure that when joe blow is watching games on youtube the audio isnt all harsh and annoying. We celebrate smashing and crashing sounds, but some people who dont understand what those sounds mean in game might think its obnoxious. Ive also considered that the guy who did the zerg sound effects just took a chance artistically and it failed from a players perspective. Im crossing my fingers that Blizzard will slowly fix these things over time to make the game perfect. At the very least id like to know when buildings/units are complete for christs sake. Also, i miss the hydra dying sound. Even though when you are exploding into guts you really cant scream (no longer having a mouth etc), its still awesome sounding in BW. This gave hydras and zerg an attitude like "fuck you" as they died. It really made them seem more vicious. It really baffles me how Blizzard didnt know this kind of thing about their own game and strive to top themselves for sc2. It bums me out like, if it was MY job to do the sound for zerg in sc2, id have at least listened to the sounds from the first game and tried to get a grasp on what its all about. Not being able to distinguish subtle touches like that is a bit unprofessional in my opinion. | ||

Then why is there this thread and dozens of others across the internet saying the exact same things since the beta came out? Btw, hydras do not make the sound they made in BW when they die at all. So i dont see how "not at all" is in actuality "more often". | ||

I like most of the sound effects in-game. >For example, the Siegetank, Colossus, and Zealots have very nice attacksounds. I am not saying all the Zerg units have bad soundefects (see the awesome baneling attack sound!!), but most are really disappointing. | ||

Take the tank for example, sieging and unsieging isn't nearly as punchy and memorable as it was in SC1, but it does sound a lot better in SC2. Like most people here, I really want some of that punchiness back. | ||

The Hydra attack is nearly silent, which is bad because it hits so hard. A group of 20 Hydras pounding a CC rips it to shreds in seconds, all without making nary a sound. Unlike DTs, which make a very loud and distinctive sound (this is a good thing). true , i miss the old hydras | ||

Can anyone make a youtube video of each unit spawning in SC1 followed by the SC2 equivalent? I made a post about this and included a bunch of youtube videos back during the Beta. I would like to necro my old post: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=116711 I was probably a huge proponent to complaining about the sound issues in beta. After awhile, I figured "these can't be final... no way, they'll fix it in the retail version" and low and behold, we're left with the same sounds. Its not even just the zerg sounds though, the terran and protoss are lacking as well. The harsh sound of zealots attacking in SCBW has been reduced to a "swish swish" just like most other sounds. The thunderous boom of the siege tank when it fires... oh... how I miss the thunder. | ||

I also think the Mutalisk attack sound is more awesome then the boring, plain one that's in SC2. | ||

When you select one and the make that weird blp blip blee blewp sound it reminds me of the cute little actopus alien in MiB that vomits in Will Smith's face. Roaches are easily my favorite unit in SC2 hands down. They're just fantastic in every way. I love their sounds, their mechanics, and their graphical design. Unfortunately I hate their supply cost.... *grr* | ||

I like the newer ones better, they are more "spine shooting death machine esque" I am unsure of what you are trying to get at here, the sfx is perfect. Hydra attacks in SC1 where given the acid appearance due to small spines not showing up very well with the low end graphics. In SC2 they were able to produce the original intent more clearly so they dropped the green goo. | ||
