Battlefield 3 Gets A New Chiptune Soundtrack

YouTube user Omega52 finally fixed the biggest problem with Battlefield 3: the music and sound effects are too modern.

All those amazing gunfire and explosion sound effects were okay, I guess, but now you can hear the game as it was truly meant to sound: like a game that released in 1986.

Seeing that video reminds of this Half-Life modding gem, where all the sound effects are replaced by the Michael Winslow (the sound effects guy from the Police Academy films) of video game fan YouTube users.

Thanks to Matt for the news tip, who worded it best by saying, "this isn't news, but holy crap is it amazing."
