'Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare' Short Clip Talks About the Sounds In-Game

In line with the recent talk about the improvement in tech for "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare," a new clip has been released featuring Don Veca, the audio director for the newest installation of the game.

"Right off the bat, one of the things that the gamers are going to notice is the huge improvements to the weapons. That sound goes through your body, you don't just try to record it, we try to recreate that feeling to make it really feel like you're really there," said Veca in the video.

What's more, sound technology has been improved for "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare has been improved so much that for this iteration, the technology used also monitors the sounds in the environment. This brings more realistic sound effects and the promise that you won't hear the same impact or explosion twice.

Because the concept of the franchise is to take something that is grounded on reality, the audio for "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare" also uses grounded sounds in battle while mixing in other noises to give a unique sound that resonates the futuristic appeal of the game.
