Adding another element of stealth to the game

[armandux1]

I think stealth just makes the game more unrealistic, which I like to keep it real.

How is stealth unrealistic ? I don't think that armies just go in guns blazing, but they remain hidden until they can launch an effective attack on the enemy or when they absolutly have to.

But why should we become invisible, it defeats the entire purpose of the kill cam. This why we have crouch, so you can hide under two block high when you get your kill.

Nobody said anything about becomeing invisible did they?
But yes, it would be quite cool to see running players on the minimap, it would encourage less rungunfests

My bad, I misinterpreted the suggestion then.

What they could do to add an element of stealth is:

- When you shoot, your player icon will flash just for a moment. Since we can tell if a baddy is shooting bullets, this is just for aesthetic purposes.

- When you're sprinting, you will be visible on the mini map.

The sprinting part is cool.
But the icon flash would ruin sniping and some stealth, Maybe if the player is also "Spotted" as in you see them before they kill you.

The icon on map when shooting would completely break the game, because if you would tunnel through a wall with a weapon
EVERYONE would know you are there.

Why are we trying to add stealth mechanics to a game that has nothing to do with stealth? -_-

You want to be stealthy? Dig a hole, hide in it, pop out, headshot a soldier, crouch back down. There's your stealth. Problem solved. :-p

That's your idea of stealth?
That'd only work like 2 or 3 times before they came back there and dragged you out of that hole.
Stealth is getting into the enemy's base undetected and killing them all without any of them knowing whilst capping the intel.

Digging a hole and hiding and killing in it has worked for me for the past 8 months and I've been getting a ratio of 10 (decent but not good).

Maybe you've just been playing with stupid people?

Are you saying pros in Aloha and Goonhaven are stupid??? Because that's where I play.

Well, If a guy in a hole is murdering them and they have no idea where he is, I don't think they are pros.

[BrosephRadson]

Most people are pretty stupid, especially in aloha and goonhaven. Anyone with an idea of map control and situational awareness would have you dead pretty quickly, unless they cant shoot for crap.

As for the OP, i dont fancy the idea of making stealth more difficult. You're already brightly colored with a huge head and your tracers are visible on the map.

[AEM]

Do you expect pros to know the location of where enemy snipers are hiding?? Basic old AoS procedure: dig, hide, shoot, move, rinse and repeat. It's gotten me the title of camper of the month and hacker.

[AEM]

I don't know where you people have been going but the aloha and Goonhaven I go has player with ratios 10-15 and kills around 100-300 in a matter of an hour.
