Most people probably feel that they can't hear footsteps when playing COD:MW3. In this article, we will explain why you can't hear enemy footsteps in MW3. Anyone can mute footsteps for a very simple reason. If you've just started playing MW3 and don't know much about the footsteps in this game, please read until the end.
The sound of footsteps is well prepared.
First of all, it's obvious, but the footsteps are well-prepared just like in previous COD games, and they usually make a loud thumping sound. Many of the maps are relatively large and intricate, making the game extremely disadvantageous if footsteps are heard.
Don't worry, it's not because of a bug that the footsteps aren't playing or because the game sound is too low that you can't hear them.
Silent sneakers completely eliminate footsteps
In MW3, one of the customizable boots is called silent sneakers. These silent sneakers are the reason you can't hear your enemy's footsteps at all. By equipping yourself with silent sneakers, you can completely eliminate the sound of your footsteps. Instead of reducing the sound of footsteps, it completely eliminates them.
In COD, the enemy's position can be determined by the sound of footsteps, so while there are players who mute their footsteps, if they run without muting their footsteps, they will naturally be at a disadvantage, so to avoid this, most players wear silent sneakers. Equipped with Therefore, you will rarely hear enemy footsteps in MW3. There is no prestige reset, so once you unlock Silent Sneakers, you can continue using them forever.
Silent sneakers can also be used in ranked play
Silent sneakers can be equipped even in ranked play where customization is limited. As a result, you can hardly hear enemy footsteps in ranked play, and you cannot rely on footsteps to locate enemies in Search & Destroy.
It seems that the custom restrictions for ranked play have been decided based on opinions from overseas pro scenes, so it is possible that silent sneakers will no longer be usable in the future.
Even with large maps and rules that require you to move, there are no footsteps, so it's easy to move.
If you can't hear the enemy's footsteps, you don't want the enemy to use it, but if you equip it yourself, you can mute the footsteps just like the enemy. Recent COD games are made with a focus on realism, and there are many intricate and spacious maps. Even on such a map, the advantage is that if there are no footsteps, it will be much easier to move around. With rules like team deathmatch, the number of players who just hide away may decrease.
It also makes it easier to move proactively in rules where you absolutely have to move, such as Hard Point and Search & Destroy. I think it has a great benefit of making it easier to move, both for beginners and advanced users.
If there are no footsteps, you may not need an equalizer.
As we have introduced so far, most players in MW3 are equipped with silent sneakers and there are no footsteps, so it may not be necessary to set an equalizer to make footsteps easier to hear. I adjusted the equalizer settings little by little when MW3 was just released, but since the footsteps disappear completely with silent sneakers, I feel that the equalizer settings are not necessary and leave it alone. .
If you really want to do this, you should adjust the BGM volume and the character's voice volume. Also, if you feel that gunshots and explosion sounds are too loud, you may want to adjust them with an equalizer.
summary
This is the reason why you can't hear enemy footsteps in COD:MW3. In the current environment, you will be at a huge disadvantage if you don't equip Silent Sneakers, so we recommend equipping them unless you have a sniper rifle or something similar.
