So why in the fuck ID didn't contact the guy in order to not absolutely ruin a fundalmental part of the game's aesthetics? I can't focus anymore when I hear vegeta saying "immmpressive" in a ridiculous manner. When you used to get an impressive or an excellent with the old voice you got that adrenaline rush, that extra motivation, same for when the countdown ended and you heard "FIGHT", and same for "you lost the lead" or "you have taken the lead". The voice reflected these feelings better. Now with this, all I get is a cringeworthy whenever I hear this fucker.
I even got some newbs without Q3 as reference to play QL, and they said the announcer guy sounded a bit stupid (some played UT tho). Then I showed them some Q3/QL videos and they said "much better".
A cold blooded arena demands for a low tone, distorted, computerised voice. The new voice is way too fucking human sounding. Too bad id has no aesthetic sensitivity to notice all these objective facts in order to avoid ruining the game with these details (for me this is not even a detail, it's a fundamental pillar of the game).
So what are you waiting for, SyncError? what are you waiting for to contact Xian and fix this fucking mess for once? And don't try to sell me the "original announcer DLC" or some shit because that's just insulting.
I would understand if you add a "blood and gore DLC" to avoid being rated M, so only that DLC gets rated M which is pretty clever (even tho it still sucks and the ideal would be to have it ON by default, but anyway ...)
Another thing i've noticed A LOT is how every single person I show a videofrag to, gets dissapointed with the visuals of the game, because videofrags nowadays use high resolution textures, custom effects, motion blur, gore and of course, the original announcer.
So what are you waiting for to improve the game in this basic department?
