📋 About This Mod
This mod replaces many of the guns with real, actual, no BS gunshot sounds that are professionally recorded and not just ripped from YouTube.
I am currently working on fixing severe audio bugs with this mod, due to my work schedule I can only work on it occasionally. Please excuse the delays between updates.
USE IN MP AT YOUR OWN RISK. This mod does not alter any files that are currently flagged by EAC or 343, but that is always subject to change as cheaters figure out more and more ways to cheat in multiplayer video games. I am not personally responsible for what you do with your game copy. That being said, if this suddenly becomes bannable, I will update this description immediately. As of 07/31/2022, it is not bannable to modify in-game audio for MCC.
NOW WORKS IN SEASON 8!

This mod is a work-in-progress. All sounds are subject to change, some more than others. Feel free to suggest guns to alter or changes to existing sounds in this mod.
Do you love Halo 3? Do you feel like Halo 3 would be even more perfect if the guns sounded punchier and more modern? This may be the mod for you. This currently replaces nine (more to come in the future) of the Halo 3 weapons with much meatier and more "modern FPS" sounding guns. The samples used to create these gunshot sounds are actual gunshots that were professionally recorded with field mic equipment and have been mixed to fit well into the Halo universe.
MA5C ICWS: This weapon gave me the most trouble out of all of them because it only has 3 individual gunshot samples to replace. Regardless, they have been replaced with sounds that I believe sell the idea that this is a fully automatic . 308 rifle way better than the original sounds did.
BR55 HBSR: I originally wanted to make this gun sound very realistic as well, but realized early on in testing that making it sound more realistic detracted from the spirit of the BR55. It now is more realistic than in Halo 3, but has a sound that is still very iconic and recognizable as the Battle Rifle.
M6G PDWS: This weapon suffers from very short samples that, due to me being a smoothbrain and knowing nothing about editing hexadecimal code, could not be lengthened. I did my best to make the gun sound believably like what is essentially a 2550's era Desert Eagle, but it is one of the non-final sounds that I feel needs to be worked on some more before the final release.
Type-51 Carbine: Like the M90 Shotgun below, this weapon is more of an edit of the original sound than a complete redesign. I reworked the tail a little bit, and added a more gunshot-like "pop" at the beginning of the sound to emphasize the fact that this is a weapon using compressed and superheated gas to launch a projectile at 1500 feet per second (a gun).
M90 CAWS: This weapon, like the Carbine, leans a little closer to its original counterpart. I felt that removing that
