We love hearing that TW will feature the 3Dception audio system. There are two other things that I think are just as key...
1. Muffling obstructed sounds. Listening to someone when standing next to them, and listening to someone when standing on the floor above, is different because in the latter, the speaker's voice is muffled by the floor. IMO, a feature where sound (especially voice) is muffled when obstructed by a wall or similar object is necessary for TW, as friend and enemy alike will be able to hear one another on VoIP. It'll be crucial for communication in CQC situations, really the only situations where combatants on both sides will be near one another without being dead.
2. Altering sounds over distance. A gunshot heard three meters away sounds very different from a gunshot heard three hundred meters away. The resulting difference in sound, that monotonous crack, is found often enough in games in the form of ambient sound (it can be heard in TW in the weapon showcases), but not as an actual sound effect. Arma 3 is the only game I know that has implemented this effect; it was introduced in the huge Eden update a few months ago, and I personally found that like 3Dception's 360 degree audio effects, it doubled immersion.
