Will there be the option of stealth gameplay for the FPS part of the game and the tools/mechanics to support it?asked by Trickery
TL;DRChris Roberts says stealth is part of the core FPS design, with gadgets like a hologram decoy, signature hiding and vents planned, though they aren't in 2.0 and will debut with Star Marine.
Absolutely. That is part of the core design. We are trying to make the FPS gameplay itself be more tactical, less just "run and gun". Especially since it is more lethal than you would normally expect with a Call of Duty or something.We actually have some gadgets which are good for stealth and distractions they're just not in 2.0 yet: we're going through and reactivating and polishing them from Star Marine and they will also debut with Star Marine. But we have the hologram gadget where you can put up a hologram version of yourself and you can be off sneaking somewhere else. We are going to have definite things that will help you with hiding your radar and noise signature, or heat signature, and stuff like that. So we definitely want that.We have vents, that aren't in 2.0 but will be in in the future, where you can sneak around or crawl around in and outflank people and do stuff like that.Yes, I definitely see the combat in FPS being much more tactical and part of that would be allowing you to do stealthy stuff.
