The voices in games like UltraVixen are kinda interesting...

Actually, Doom sounds, quotes from Duke3d, and I also like many of the sounds in Doom 64. Also, the voices and music in Super Real Mahjongg on the NGPC are kinda cool, too. Oh, and tons of Genesis sounds.

Unreal Tournament... the sound direction in that was brilliant. (PHOING... SPHANKBOOMSPLATTER. "See ya!")

But other than that, the Doom2 shotgun. (BOOM, clik, clak, clik. BOOM click, clak, click. Rinse and repeat)

The nailgun sounds are nice too.


Ah, a fellow admirer of the nailgun.

Well, everyone else pretty much summed up my favorite sounds, so I'll just nod my head and agree with everyone.

I think some of them actually start shouting that in their butchered Latin language when you toast 'em. Oh, and Red Pants, I have a suprise for you on AIM.

In the category of weapon sounds:
Action Half-Life's M4 and Desert Eagle
Natural Selection's shotgun pump (it sounds damn near like the single barrel shotgun pump of Doom)
Counter-Strike's MP5 and AK47
Goldeneye's DD44

In the category of background sounds:
Opening a door in Doom
The snorting sounds of a wandering enemy in Doom
The rather large vocabulary of the Marines in Half-Life
The siren that goes off at the beginning of Half-Life
The radio music at the beginning of They Hunger

In the category of death sounds:
the snarl and ripe THUMP! of a dead Demon in Doom
the exploding head sound of the Action series of mods
the heavy bass that is a Baron of Hell in death.

Now that I think about it, the little speech they give you at the beginning of Half-Life in single player is also really cool. So is the ladder sound.

"And remember, The Black Mesa Complex is an equal opportunity employer." (paraphrasing)

I would like to say that, now that I have played UT2003, I really hate the sounds of the other players, as well as the announcer. As well as some of the guns.
