What's New?

-Amplified new sounds for better balance with stock sounds (see explanation below)
-New sound: Replaced CoD anti-tank rifle with MoHBT PZB41 (heard in the "Armored Car Escape" mission)
-Removed five superfluous sounds
-Fixed stock CoD2SP soundalias glitch: Friendly CPU Thompsons used M1 Garand fire sound

Amplification:
I spent a number of hours revamping thousands of the CoD2 soundaliases to match the original stock Medal of Honor volume and pitch levels, only to find that in CoD2 soundalias definitions you can't specify a volume value greater than 1 (the range is 0-1). As you may know, I scripted a lot for regular CoD and CoDUO, both of which allowed volumes greater than 1 in the soundalias definitions. The fact that CoD2 does not allow this renders my extensive soundalias work useless for this mod because many of the MoH volumes go well above 1. With that in mind, as a workaround I arbitrarily amplified all new MoH sounds in this mod by +3dB (with the exceptions of the voices and the menu music) and reduced all volume values greater than 1 in the soundaliases to a flat 1. The result is an overall amplification, as was requested, and a solid one at that -- just not an exact port of sound and pitch levels from MoH as was originally desired. For modders interested in the three soundalias files included in the IWD, they represent the various stages of "iw_sound2.csv" as I worked around the amplification problems: "iw_sound2.csv.bak.no_vol_changes" (no volume changes for the new sounds), "iw_sound2.csv.bak.vols_above_1" (exact port of MoH volume and pitch levels with many above 1 -- invalid), and the active "iw_sound2.csv" with all the invalid volumes floor-rounded to 1.

Notes

For most Call of Duty 2 players of this mod, it's safe to say that the new 'real-Russian' multi-player voices will suffice. That is, those able to understand the language will find that maybe two or three phrases don't match up to the text, but for the most part, the stock text is an adequate representation of what the spoken Russian means.
