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."
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
