Lack of "punch" in sound of the weapons ???

I've only played through the first level, but the sound effects to the guns seem very weak/muted compared to previous games. Doesn't seem to be an issue during MP though.

I was very surprised that there was no AUDIO options to adjust volumes for speech, music, effects, like every other game on the planet these days. No idea why Bungie omitted this feature, uuum, standard option??

Well remember the first level you needed to be silent about the killing of all those grunts. In the later levels its no problem from what I've been doing to the brutes and flood plus all the dead marines and other covenant aliens.
