Stealth kills - alerting the enemy?

Post » Wed Sep 15, 2010 11:17 am

So i'm playing on PC, sneaking around the area successfully using camo and cover not to be seen... all is good no one has seen me, i'm looking at enemy movement patterns to see what they do; fine.

So after 10 minutes of moving around the area with not a peep from the enemy I stealth kill someone then immediately after he is dead someone shouts "REPORT IN" and then about 5 guys run to where I just stealth killed someone.

So i'm like wtf? whats the point in all that bloody work if they are just going to instantly know when i've done anything at all... I might as well of just armored up and shot them all - but I don't want to play it like that.

I'm playing on Veteran if that has any effect... anything I can do to stop this from happening?

Thanks alot!

I know exactly what you mean. You can be running around cloaked for 10 mins and never hear "status report" or "alpha 3 what's your status" but as soon as you stealth kill someone you hear the comm alert. I only kill the ceph for the nano catalyst. Simple answer is don't kill em if you don't have too!

Yup, stealth is more about getting around undetected than getting kills. Silenced sniper might also work if you take everyone out with a headshot.

...or if you put one of your silenced weapon on single shot mode and use it with headshots like the sniper. :)
