I wish there was a way to revert to use the previous audio system instead of this new one (with both the directional as well as priority changes). It doesn't make sense to me to have priority for sounds in a FPS game, in the same way it doesn't make sense, IMHO, to have directional audio to start with. I'm not even complaining about the audio muffling system, which was already partly reverted, as I really thing that is just a part of the issue.
I just joined a 64 vs. 64 battlebit match and that thing looked as silent as a solitaire or chess game, even when there were enemies close to me, which is really weird for someone that enjoyed the game exactly because of...all the chaos. And a important part of the chaos is..the audio system.
So, basically, I see two options to improve the current status: Revert all the recent audio changes, or make it an option so anyone that really likes it can keep using it.
I wish my first suggestion for the game was..more constructive, but as someone that enjoyed playing Battlebit almost every night with friends, the current version of the game is pretty unplayable (and my friends think the same, too).
