Stealth Tactics

[rebel28]

Ok, I'm give you as many tricks as I can think of about stealth tactics. I've played every single Splinter Cell (except Condemned) and most of Fallout 3 stealthlike.

 

Tips:

1. PATIENCE

2. Only take what you need

3. Quicksave often

 

Infliltration:

1. First find out how many enemies are in the location.

2. Look for a backdoor, try not to go through the main entrance.

3. Try to eliminate the enemies silently.

 

If Silence isn't possible, switch to option two:

SURPRISE

1. Try to get your enemies from afar.

2. Get as many as you can in as little time as possible, esplosives are suggested for this.

3. Look/Stay in cover, move often.

4. Try to give your enemies, limited attack directions(hallways, doorways, etc.)

 

After that it's all up to experience. I'm not sure how many of you will find this useful, if so it must be my knack for stealth.

I wish that fallout 3's enemy AI was more like that of 'Farcry 2' because I really want to play fallout 3 all stealthily, but its very much hard.

 

I was wearing the chinese stealth armor from Anchorage DLC and I had the 'Inflitrator' gun from pittsburg, I was sneaking up on a camp of raiders, I was behind some rocks, completely invisible, about 30 meters away from the nearest patrol.

 

I aimed through the scope and shot a raider, it killed him but INSTANTLY everone knew where I was, fallout 3 has really low quality detection AI (And it sucks how people dont die in like 1 shot like IRL)

Yeah the detection AI in fallout sucks. someone should really do a sneak overhaul.

 

seriously, how do people know I'm there if I'm behind a wall, walking(not running), not shooting, or doing anything really. It's so annoying, I've stopped playing sneak characters all-together.

(I finished Far Cry 2 yesterday) Far Cry 2's AI Detection was overdone, when I sneak around at night in a camo suit. They still see me about 5-10 metres away. I relied on SUPRISE in Far Cry 2, and Stealth in Crysis

The stealth mechanics can really use an overhaul. I was wearing the chinese stealth suit with 100+ stealth skill and the enemy -still- managed to find me before I even got within 10 meters, in pitch black and from behind.
