i bought this for like $20 on a steam sale and forgot to ever play it, i guess i should at least TRY it before it shuts down permanently. rip

Prerecorded sound libraries are everywhere in media and are pretty standard. Starcraft 1 uses the Howie scream, and many years later, so does Battlefield 1. I'm not sure if it's jarring or if it makes for an amusing memory to hear those familiar sounds time and time again.

I guess I'm just mostly surprised it's the same ones from 1997

The Howie scream is from the 80s and the Wilhelm scream is from the 50s and both are still in regular use in sound libraries! :eng101:

It's kind of amazing, really.
