Sound is a very important part of a video game. If the sounds are boring, then the general experience will be boring. It's what captivates a player and immerses them in the game. Some games don't have the sound quality that BC and BC2 had. For that, they compensate with engaging, rhythmic or ambient music.

Gun sounds aren't the most important, but considering BC2 was totally void of music, it would have been mighty boring with computer generated sounds.
