The Importance of SOUND (Gaming)

Two kills in a row, entirely through the positional sound. Play this game with headphones.

How to locate other players with sound:

-Listen for their footsteps. Your regular walk sound is pretty loud actually, and you can be heard up or down a floor. Running can be heard from pretty far away. You are silent when crouching.
-Follow the sound of shooting.
-Opening doors makes a sound, so you can deduce where people are and follow them.
-Looting itself makes a sound. I found and killed someone around a corner because I could hear the items being moved around.
-Alarms let you know other players called in stuff like supply drops. They'll probably be around to try to collect the items.
-Your prox chat can be heard. You'll see a name with the player speaking. They are nearby.

Play with headphones or correctly configured surround. All the sounds are positional, and to some extent even in the vertical direction.
