Hello, my fellow Escapists.
I would like you to delve into your vast knowledge of computer games to help me to accomplish something. I'm working on a personal project for which I need to acquire a lot of sound effects of the "warfare" variety: gunfire, bullet impacts, explosions, things breaking and such. I've figured that since this is a non-commercial project and I don't intend to distribute it among general public, there would be no harm in utilising sound libraries from games.
Unfortunately, most games these days store their sounds in large encoded databases, making it impossible to extract anything. My goal is to find games where sounds are presented in simple WAV, MP3 or OGG formats, and this is where your memory may come in handy. For example, Valve doesn't bother to use encryption, and I was able to obtain a couple of neat samples from Left 4 Dead (and am looking forward to butcher Counter-Strike), but it's not nearly enough. What other games would you suggest?
