PS1 had decent audio for its day but overall it wasn't spectacular. Things are a little bit crude, especially from a positional audio standpoint.
I also always thought many guns were a little too *pew-pew*.
I'm not to concerned about it going into PS2, it's going to be passable, but probably not spectacular.

The problem with BF3 is the amount of reverb, the reverb from a pistol sounds about as loud as the fricking shot itself. Even fighting out in a huge field is like having a war in a subway tunnel, plus even the assault rifles are about as loud as a 30mm autocannon. They are really 'Hollywood' style sounds, sound nice but aren't all the good for actual tactical gameplay due to the spam of effects and I doubt they would be great in a game like Planetside 2 with 1000 players seeing as all those nice HQ sounds are resource hogs, but the level of audio quality is something PS2 should be aiming for.
