CS:GO Update: Sounds updated

Valve has released a new update where they have made a big overhaul of CS:GO's sounds.

Valve has released a CS:GO update which contains a whole overhaul to in-game sounds. The sounds now vary which depending on the surface a player is running on. For example, jumping and moving on the snow or water will create different sounds to let's say concrete. You can see the full changelog below:

 

Check out the extensive list of changes below:

SOUND

  • Increased fidelity and weight of jump land sound.
  • Landing sounds now play an additional sound depending on the surface.
  • 3rd person footsteps are now slightly louder in relation to weapon sounds for increased positional clarity. (Further volume compression may be possible by enabling “sound normalization,” “volume equalization,” or a similar setting in your audio playback device properties)
