- “The music as well needs to be changed a bit; I have had to completely turn it off because the ambiance was constantly playing conflicting audio with the gameplay. Granted, it's well done to be spooky, but when you are trying to listen in on enemy locations, which is already hard to do, suddenly 'chase music' turns on and you are on swivel for the said chase but nothing is happening. It breaks the moment many times to be just confusing, and eventually annoying.”
- “A lot of the servers we joined, the people in there are either completely silent or blasting music/soundboard sounds down the chat at full volume; it gets boring fast.”
