If you deliberately remove explosion sounds completely so you can hear everything around you, expect to be accused of cheats and if and when that happens dont act like a dickhead and take it on the chin since you have deliberately gone out of your way to give yourself an advantage. I think thats basically the lesson to learn
. Editing sounds can really give a huge advantage, you dont really need a wall hack if you edit them right. You could essentially remove most or all of the sounds bar a jump sound for tracking anyone bunny hopping.
However i strongly recommend that the FF dev team change all explosion sounds since thats all you can hear when playing FF. It gave me headaches, yeah i know 'turn the sound down' even with a low sound all you hear is bang bang bang all game. I personally replaced explosions with the warsow explosion sound. NO headaches since
. I think the DEV team should also do that officially. I can UL the warsow sound i use for anyone any time (and have).
