Audible signals for CTF/Freeze too similar imo.

The noises for flag cap, flag loss, flag return, freezed teammate, thawed teammate, freezed enemy and thawed enemy, although very different, are not always noticeable mid ctf.

Also something similar to a repetitive timer every 10 seconds if your flag is gone, to possibly give you a chance to realize you are aware.
I am not sure how embedded the sound code is, but I get into the game at times, and totally miss the noise, mistake it for a noise it is not, or just ignore it cause they are similar enough. Making flag assist or flag defend overly clear audibly I think is a good ( maybe easy to implement ) idea.

When a flag is returned the announcer announces it, when someone is thawed there's no announcer, not too hard to tell the difference.

The default HUD has a blinking region for when your flag is gone. Custom huds with more visual queues abound. I really wouldn't want a noise distracting things -- in tight games, it's not uncommon for the flags to be held for quite some time in the opposite bases.

Except for 1-flag where the sounds are reversed, I'm not really sure what you're talking about. All the sounds are pretty distinct once you've played a few games.

I think they sound different, but in a mode like iCTF where flag caps and returns can happen fast, and be mildly delayed piled up, they don't distinctly signal my mind about the state of flag safety.
I suppose I expect the noise for 'enemy has your flag' sound to be more alerting or alarming. When I am trying to strafe and rail my way out of base I tend to tune out noise because of all the jumps, item clicks and taunts. I get what your saying about extra noise being a negative. Maybe a delayed repeat. There are times where I forget all about flag state because visual cue doesn't grab my attention and I haven't heard a 'enemy has ur flag' noise in a while.
Surprised custom noises aren't available.

I'm not saying they aren't good enough. Just wouldn't mind more difference.

I guess the visual cues don't get my attention for w/e reason. I will look more into what options I have. Thx
