well I can still *just* hear the gun power up in 1.7 cub3, however the crowd still annoys me a little, I don't think it makes too many odds, just would prefer it without.
Besides, if an answer ever appears on this thread, you too will know how to shut them up!

Some people play with music to add to the confusion, I don't, but as a keeper, I want all the help I can get, to have an idea when someone is powering up to shoot and all the unnecessary noise (crowd) can go home!

btw^^ I changed the "world detail" to "normal" so the crowd wasn;t there last night but I could still hear them! - so that theory is out the window.
