To those that say you can hear footsteps just fine. Two questions.
1) Are you running on PS3 or XBOX? I'm starting to wonder if there might be some difference. They may have turned up the XBOX sound levels to quiet the big name youtube commentators that were bashing BO. But left PS3 in the dust. Just wondering because I know I can barely hear footsteps in FFA, and then definitely not as consistently as I should. And other's are complaining as well, so there must be something to it. Forget using sound in TDM or any other "noisy" mode.
2) Do you hear footsteps all the time? When wearing a headset, have you ever had a non-ninja user run up behind you and not hear them? Again, just wondering. Because one of the main problems is the footsteps are very inconsistent. Sometimes they are pretty loud. Sometimes - on the same surface - they can't be heard. Running makes your footsteps drop out too.
I'm playing on Xbox, and even after the patch i'm still finding it hard to hear people. Yes, it is so much better than before, but it's still nowhere near great. To be able to hear someone planting or defusing, I have to be in the same room as them and about 3 feet away from them. I can hear people pull nades and reload, again, only close. But footsteps, I can barely hear, my X31s have to be on incredibly high for me to even be able to hear people behind me, and even so, sometimes people without ninja I can never hear, even if they're running on metal. Ugh.
