This World War 2-era weapon made its way into the Call of Duty franchise at the very beginning, way back in 2003, and since then it’s been a fan-favorite for several reasons. Speaking of old-school weapons, we cannot forget about the mighty M1 Garand. What’s even better is when you can land killing hits in quick succession, all while your character handles the bolt like a champ.
The sound of the handle sliding through the barrel and the satisfying clunk-kachunk of another round being loaded makes us feel dizzy. Even in the more advanced and sci-fi centric entries, any bolt-action weapon always manages to capture the feel of firing one of these rifles. If there is one thing Call of Duty has always done well, it’s bolt-action rifles. There has been a lot of memorable audio in the series, but here are some of the most iconic sounds in Call of Duty. Each entry in the series raises the bar of what can be achieved by audio, and every game offers some new sound that sends a shiver down our spine. Call of Duty and good sound design go together like peanut butter and chocolate, zombies and an axe, or even Soap MacTavish and Captain Price.
