Can someone tell me how to rip sounds from a PC game?  It will be a big help.

You can use an application called Audacity. Then in the settings for it you can set it to record sounds that the computer plays.

OBEY!!!

Depends on the game. Blackdevil's suggestion only really works if you can play the sounds in-game without any other sounds playing at the same time, otherwise they come out crappy. Some games have batched files that you can unpack to retrieve the sounds.

It depends which PC game.

Different game engines have different file storage systems for data and content.

There are tools specialized for different game engines for extracting content.

Which game did you want sounds from?

Dragon Unpacker might help you:

Pakscape is the best for Quake games... as for Unreal, you don't even need one. You can extract everything through UnrealEd.

I want the sounds from Medal Of Honor Spearhead.  I'm planning a MOH mod.

You will need Pakscape to open .pk3 files (you can also use winrar but pakscape is better, trust me)

As far as I'm aware you can find all of the spearhead sounds in mohaa/mainta/pak1.pk3 ... but those will only be for the additional content that comes with Spearhead.

The rest of the sounds (for normal mohaa) are found in mohaa/main/pak3.pk3

Hope that helps  :)
