Nah, they've got a little more than half a year until Microsoft drops support. Should have been done a while back IMO.

Anyway, OP, try deleting your ArmyOps.ini.

AA2 is unplayable on Windows 7 if you want to have a decent sound. That's why I used two hard drives- one specially for AA2 with Windows XP, second with Windows 7.

Unfortunately AA4 won't run on Windows XP.

do you have the lib folder at the same location like aa25?
or deinstal, download again, extract and install all at the same location.

ofcourse it's playable, and ofcourse the sound is decent. Just not enough loud for you, to hear enemies from spawn to spawn ;)

These are the best posts ever about the ongoing sound complaining.

If people are complaining about sound so much, why not invest in getting Logitech g35 headphones, with a built in equalizer there pretty bad ass, and not that expensive

I do too, in fact I'm pretty sure most of the players play on Windows 7 nowadays, without even knowing they have "inferior sound".

delete your assist folder and do a new installation. then it should work again.

Yup, it's all about getting used to it. Even if i have same sound since 5 years, I learn to hear more, focus on specific sounds etc. Too high sound is like wallhack, no interest

Not only that, but it hurts my ears damn it! I'm not playing this to have my ears bleed, I'm playing to have fun.

But to be honest, I think the way people try and hear things from further away is still messing with the equalizer, trying to make sounds they're looking for stand out more from the background noise.

I think some players (won't give any names) disabled the sound of smokes to hear better

I don't think that is possible. (Although it might be, I've never tried or anything...)
And even if it is, I'd at least hope the admins have banned it.

its possible, but first violation is 1 week ban 2nd violation is perm ban

as far as 3rd party equalizer, idk never tried and really not interested in messing with that :D

edit: i do the same as my buddy ^^ there. i focus on particular sounds more. if u learn to focus on different footstep noises (wood,concrete,dirt, snow) u can pretty much figure out where e is

example: if your on 2nd or 3rd floor in Weapons Cache and u hear a e on first floor walking and it sounds like wood, then he's probably on top of a crate at either end of hall by stairs or maybe trying to get ontop of a pallet. But if it's a concrete sound then hes walking on flooring obviously

I've played scrims lately against people who can hear you cook a flash, while 3 smokes are around you, from an average distance ...
