Why can't I hear when I am getting shot in the back?
In multiplayer, whenever I am getting shot from behind, I can barely hear the impacts of the bullets. There are the usual red indicators on the HUD that denote I'm getting shot in the back, but I find that not being able to hear the shots often throws me off and I end up dying a lot without even putting up a fight.
I thought perhaps it was an audio setting, in particular something with surround sound, but I couldn't find any settings related to that. There is a setting for adjusting the volume of bullet impacts, which I have maxed out, but it didn't seem to make a difference.
This seems uncharacteristic of other Halo games - I'm fairly certain getting shot in the back was definitely louder in previous games. Am I missing a setting or is this how the game is?
