Those 3D game work best work with headphone when your sound card support Head
Related Transfer Function , Interaural time-delay and interaural level
difference 

The sound signal arrive at slightly different time/level at your left and right
ear when your are wearing a headphone since your left and right ears can
determine the location of the sound source from the delay and level difference

if your are using 4 speakers , it will depend on whether the speakers are
placed at the desired position (same distance ) and angle ( cross-talk between
the speakers ) for your ear to get the same delay/level as same as in the game
environment , 

Those 3D game usually use surround40 instead of surround51 unless your sound
card (e.g. SB Live! emu10k1) has a treble/base control to boost the bass and
specical control reverb , echo using FX chip
