If one sound effect should return from Duke3D...
I think it should be the death-by-RPG sound. I've been playing a lot of Duke3D online lately, and every time I make someone explode with a rocket, that sound just warms my heart.

Any other nominees for favorite sound effects?

The screech of the Octabrain.

First time I played DN3D... man, I came around a corner and met one for the first time. That scream made me jump. Still remember it now.

I'd prefer the terrifying scream of the Battlelord. It always scares me shitless.

Item pick-up sound?

Seriously, I think the RPG-delivery sound would be a nice tribute. Or the trip-bomb tripping sound.

As long as the new sounds are decent, I agree. Although it will be tough to find a sound that's as good as the octabrain sounds from D3D.

The "tink tink tink" of a pipebomb coming to rest.

And most other ones mentioned here. Although I doubt they'd really get rid of any sounds; they'd just improve them instead, and add in a whole load of new ones too.

I've just finished DN3D for the first time and I really hate the scary and disturbing sound of the octabrains. The Battlelord roar is also really frightning. Both sounds have to return!

RPG delivery/ explosion sound is the most satisfying of any game I've played, followed by the pipe bomb bouncing to a stop.

Octabrain scream and the explosion squelch. I know that's two!

No one mentioned the Devastator sound though?!

So many great sounds in Duke3d

Pipebomb sound, the random ambient sounds, the spaceship bleeps.

And the pitched down sounds when you are underwater. I hope everything returns

I'd certainly like to hear some significant going-in-and-out-of-water noise distortions. And thte muffling of all sounds while underwater, with perhaps the Octabrain echoing more and louder.

i believe joe said somewhere else that the battlelord is likely to return, so it makes sense to put in a somewhat familiar sound with that.

personally i'm voting for a return of the " i'm back " sentence from duke 2

Maybe I am the only one but I can't stand the Octabrain sounds. They are so painful to my ears it's not funny. It's always a race to kill all those buggers as fast a possible when I meet them. A handful of them in a sever with all the echoes is the worst of all.

I thought that noise the protozoid slimers made was damn creepy. "Suck it down," by the Commanders, also had a habit of scaring the shit out of me but I doubt they'll be back in DNF.

Overall, though,I agree with the consensus; the Octabrains.

The Commanders were confirmed just recently on a comment by GB on the shack about.. Quake IV IIRC.

Note: I cannot find the comment anywhere on the Shack but someone here brought it up, for sure.

That weird "female/alien scream" ambient sound, could be "WAR_AMBIENCE4" going by this list.

That Octobrain screech and the Battlelord scream. The Octobrain one is simply frightening and the Battlelord one imposes a lot of fear, for when I hear it I know that I'm in for a world of hurt!

Re: If one sound effect should return from Duke3D...
Octabrain was horrible. Absolutely the most annoying sound in any game ever. The only good sound regarding the Octabrain was the one they made when blown away by an RPG round. Bring back the RPG and resulting explosion with lots of splatting and crunching of alien bits and pieces.
