It works, it's just too quiet. You have to turn the music down for it really to be useable.

It makes a beeping sound that speeds up when the enemies get closer.

Yeah I have the same problem, even in multiplayer I hear absolutely nothing xD. Because of that I just use threat tracer :/

It does work, it's very subtle and annoying. I ended up turning it off because it bugged me so much. It doesn't work at a useful distance. Have to be up close.

does anyone else hear the sound im talking about in the game. Habe any of you guy hit somehting off lets say a light post in a parking lot. flag pole. and it makes that "doink" sound througout the shaft. i hear that throughout almost every level on a very repedative scale. thats the annoying ass sound im talking about

If you want to hear the sound it's suppose to make, go to Semper Fi or Die and equip it, this thing goes crazy when allies are nearby.

In multiplayer, you have to upgrade it to be effective. You don't get the sound effect at level 1, I think. You'll get a visual effect on your radar when an enemy is within 30m. As the enemy get closer and closer to you, you'll start hearing the sound more and more and will go crazy if he's within a few feets.

Usefull at level 3 in multiplayer, you know when someone is camping near the Relay on CTR or when someone is coming when you defend a crash site.

In solo, if you want to be careful, you'll mark every enemy with your visor anyway so it's pretty useless.
