There have been so many times during actual comp or quick play matches where enemy footsteps cannot be heard. I have a lot of experience in the game so I know that if they’re crouching it reduces sound and all of that but once I watch the reply of my death, I see that they were not crouching at all and yet I still couldn’t hear them at all. This has been happening for a few months now and I don’t see enough people complaining about it outside of my group of friends. However when playing deathmatches while in queue, footsteps are heard perfectly fine. It seems to just be regular QP and Comp matches that are affected.
