What Strategies And Audio Settings Should You Use To Clearly Hear Footsteps In Call Of Duty?
In FPS games like Call of Duty, what you hear can be more important than what you see, which is why players rely on skills like Ninja, Dead Silence or Covert Sneakers to give themselves more chances of winning.
In general, it is very important to stay silent when playing games, as any player wearing a good headset can hear you a mile away. But this guide will introduce you to Soundwhore, a strategy that players rely heavily on good headphones to pinpoint the location of enemy players.
This requires you to turn up the volume of your headphones, sit quietly, and listen for the slightest scrape of the enemy player’s boots or even the rustle of clothes when the enemy player aims. But at the same time, it is most important that you set the best audio settings for this strategy.
Strategy
Hearing footsteps and accurately determining the location of enemies amid explosions, roars of vehicles and gunfire in any Call of Duty game is a very tricky thing, but that doesn’t mean there is no solution.
First of all, you need to stand still. If you stand still, you won’t confuse your footsteps with others. But please note that this strategy does not work in maps with large open areas, because your standing will attract more enemies.
Also, use silencers on your weapons as much as possible. This will ensure that you can hear everything around you and stay quiet. Be careful to stay away from the mini-map or compass. In addition to this in-game setting, you also need to use gaming headphones as much as possible, because even the cheapest headphones are better than relying on TV or desktop speakers. The noise of the environment will make it more difficult to determine the location of the enemy.
Last but not least, if you are listening to footsteps, don’t be afraid to tell your teammates and ask them to keep quiet. I don’t think any teammate will still make a fuss in this situation unless he doesn’t want to win the battle.
Optimal Audio Settings
After you have some strategies for listening to the sound in Call of Duty series of games, you should learn some optimal audio settings to enhance the usefulness of these strategies. Here are the specific setting values and options.
- Audio Mix: Headphones Bass Boost or Boost High
- Master Volume: 80
- Music Volume: 0
- Dialogue Volume: 60
- Effects Volume: 100
If you often suffer from the high-pitched ringing in your ears when you are hit by flashbangs or stun grenades, you can also turn on REDUCE TINNITUS SOUND option in the advanced settings, which may reduce the impact of this sound on you.
The above audio settings are universal for all devices that can explore Call of Duty, but if you are using PC, you can turn on your headphone boost in the speakers in your taskbar and turn on the loudness equalization setting, which will give you a better gaming experience!
