how is the STEALTH?

[WanderRA]

is there a strong stealth component to TNM?

I pretty much play DX with only the silenced pistol and stun prod, sneaking pretty much through the whole game.

[Jaedar]

Yeah you can stealth through a lot of the game.

I think you may need the cloak aug to stealth the final mission, but otherwise you'll be fine.

"Stealth works on every enemy on the game, even the ones in the end, you know the ones."
No worries about stealthing, just don't make too much noise and yeah, use a cloak aug if you got yourself hard to sneak / stealth.
Who's the one on the end anyway? Uhh, I don't know.

Have you played through the game?

Anyway, as I recall what happened was that multiple people came and complained that they used stealth all the way through the game and until they got to the last level where they said they were forced to stop using stealth. When they elaborated it turned out that they had seen the enemies and assumed that stealth would not work without even trying it.

So that hint is there to stop people from assuming that they can't use stealth when they really can. If you didn't look at the GameSpy aliens and immediately assume that it was impossible to use a stealthy playstyle in their presence that part about "even the ones at the end" isn't really directed at you.

As I recall.

Correct.

Turns out it's still pretty hard to stay undetected in that mission though, because the patrol routes are pretty brutal.

It's the last mission, it should be brutal.

Jonas did make some Stealth-friendlier versions once, but they kind of... well... sucked.

Made the place seem way too abandoned.
