Bullet & shockwave effects; what it should be like....

Will TW have highly realistic bullet tracer effects, bullet impact particle, and high quality enhanced audio effects for supersonic incoming cracks & pops that really make you fearful in-game?

Will these crack and pop sounds have added advanced audio effects to make them even more impressive and scary, and set them apart from the handful of games that already use these crack and pop effects for their incoming bullet sounds?

Will you guys be creating impressive particle effects for various surfaces that bullets can impact on? For example if a tracer round hit a sandstone wall would you see a dust cloud combined with smoke as the tracer round is still burning inside the wall? Will there be equally impressive sounds for said bullet impacts? I would imagine a high speed bullet hitting wood/brick/ect would have some serious noise to it and not just the pathetic sounds so many games use to represent this.

Will hedges and other foliage be cut to shreds from bullets?


Will shockwaves from ordinance cause your player to fall to the ground with force, stumble/trip over, or cause a slight inertia effect all depending on distance from said ordinance explosion?


Will shrapnel from ordinance be more dynamic and unpredictable, so that players can't just run out in open field knowing they will be perfectly OK as long as they stay out of the predictable damage radius area? In real life soldiers would take cover like their life depended on it!


Will the visual and audio impairment effects from suppression and explosives be done nicely and not some cheap and nasty red/grey screen fade effect like RO2 and most other games design it? I find this feature of RO2 the most disgusting foulest feature of that game.

Any feature of a game, regardless of weather it is positive or negative to the player, should be a pleasure to witness, not a cheap disgusting red/grey screen effect that looks utter ****. You should want to be suppressed and under explosive barrage just to witness the nicely designed, good looking effects on the screen before you. Please put the effort in!

Just my two cents (for what it's worth)...at 50+ hours on Insurgency and I tell you it has some of the best suppression, weapon, and bullet sounds I have experienced in a shooter (I have pretty much played them all). I really like how Insurgency has a tactical feel to it but game mechanics are fluid. I really hope Traction Wars goes for the clean screen/hud, game design that rewards tactics/teamwork, without becoming to "clunky" and "sim like." Again, I think Insurgency hit the nail on the head when it comes to finding that sweet spot right in the middle. Cheers!

Yes but all the gameplay videos I've seen of Insurgency reveal it to be just a boring one dimensional shooter with pretty much zero features. I'm not saying the game is bad, on the contary it does shooting and tactics excellently, and as you say the sounds are very impressive indeed.... I just don't like the fact that it is so boring and featureless. There's nothing in the game that makes me want to buy it! I'm not content with just a good shooter... I want awesome features like the stuff I mention above in my OP.... stuff that is downright ****ing awesome to see on screen... stuff that makes a game EXCELLENT and makes you play it for years.
Insurgency, Americas Army, RO2, Rising Storm.... just shooter that do shooting.... with no real content...
