This is a page of DICE, the videogamers on this forum will know this company.
Interesting to see how they record guns for a video game!!!
This is a mic comparison and positioning comparison

Haha thats awesome Mao. The sound was so good, I got a shout from downstairs asking what was going on up there!

 

[MindMunch]

Great video : )
I loved the sound design that Dice did on Mirror´s Edge. It´s a shame that they´ve pulled the plug on the sequel.

Epic video! Really liked the 400m away ones, so huge, maybe they should try to Friedman that bitch.

I have the sound effects bible, it shows how to mic various weapons.. its a bitch(Just like all "foley"work.).

I thought the olympus camera and Zoom H2 sounded the best alone. The pair of 57s was good too.

At the bonus dvd of terminator 2, director's cut, there is a 'how to' they produced the weapons sound on the movie. Very cool.
