I just want basic 4 speaker surround sound. Just like Half life - the game is 5 years old or soemthing and already had 4-speaker surround support.

There is 3D positioning now. But it sucks. It's made for stereo.

There's no 3D positioning now. Plain old stereo output.
All they need do is add DirectSound3D support & you'll get 3d audio for headphones, 2, 4, 5.1 output (more if a soundcard supports that in DS3D).

why? ..it's not part of the quake 3 code .. it would take months (not saying it is not in the works ) but it would take months to add this to the code .. remember the game is based off a quake 3 engine .. which did not support EAX when it shipped agan think how old the quake 3 engine itself is ? everyone points to CS and says well counterstikes has it .. umm who wrote CS .. not valve it was a MOD valve bought it and have milked CS and halfile for how many months and years ..so yea it works in CS as does the voice .. but how many ppl had time and effort to look into the code for cs and halflife over the past few years ..raven is currently working on several NEW projects at once plus we all know ZQ has left the building ..(dammit i wish he was here to answer this question..but he's stuck in his giant tomatoe suit most likely.. entertaining alot of kids ) he did alot of the sound work on SOF2 .. not saying he hasn't been replaced .. and he in fact told me the problem was there was no EAX in the original codebase for quake 3 and it would take some months to implement and it might not work at all in MP ...but his replacement will have to get up to speed on alot of other issiues plus have to work most likely on several projects at once just as all of ravensoft does .. remember also running eax eats system resources and could possibly be a problem for alot of users with non compatable sound cards

Mmh ... but it's not like ... well ... they got it into SP right? I know it's not just a matter of copying code but I don't want the special effects when I'm in a wide open space, in a corridor or in a big room. I know that's not easy. But just basic 4 speaker support. All new soundcards support 4 speakers - ment for 4 speaker surround gaming. Well ... Whatever, you are the programmers - I'll stop wanking
