Gun sounds make a good game a great game. Think of it this way. If you're on the way to a firefight on a map like at the first Rush base on Isla Innocentes, the first thing you'll hear is the deep thumping of the KORD - if you're wearing a headset you can hear the sound echoing across the map ten times as clear. Then, as you approach the battle, you get the sharp cracks of sniper rifles, the chatter of Assault Rifles (I was almost tempted to say dakka there), explosions left, right and centre, and all this before you actually crest the hill and see the firefight take shape. Sounds make you feel like you're actually in the game, feeling the anticipation, the nerves as you approach the battleground, culminating in the power of the graphics of the Frostbite Engine to finish it all off.
