Sachys: All I can honestly say is that if i try and crouch, I will involuntarily grunt from the arthritis. If I try to walk like that, I'll need a few days in bed - more likely an ambulance.
But... give me a pair of slip-on Sketchers and the opportunity to walk upright and yer all dead meat!

Sachys: The stealth in that series has always been itchy (especially on a reload, when they all detect you), but specific to that standalone mod, its an entirely new (and as mentioned in the options) unstable feature.

I do not think it belongs here.
I hear you, I just wish it would work somehow in a game like that. And not only.

nightcraw1er.488: No, I know. But it’s trying to simulate something with certain mechanics. To be fair nobody can cut through armies either.
Sure. Like I said at the start, it's a nitpick. It's not like it makes me dislike any game. Lack of realism in games in general doesn't really bother me usually. I think the only reason this irks me is that it's something that's always sort of in your face. It's not like the impossibly large inventory, which only exists in the inventory screen for example. Crouch walking is sort of like actually seeing all the stuff you carry on your character all the time would be.

Well, it does work (purely relating to said games and specific mod) - if you dont turn on the optional stealth and arm yourself to do the whole level at once.

After hours of transition reloads, I cleared dead city.

I'll have to get back to the mod one of these days, with more patience.

Aye its very much veteran territory with extra bugs. :/

Solid when you get it rocking though.
You are so right! They should finally implement all the proper ways of movement in FPP/TPP games.
A button for running.
A button for walking.
A button for stepping lightly.
A button for ducking.
A button for duck walking.
A button for crawling on all fours.
A button for commando crawling.
It's time to stop to have one button for all of those! I didn't evolve to have 15 fingers so that 7 stay unused!

And btw: Isn't it toally unrealistic that you don't have to hold your breath or control it to keep your breathing flat. I mean people really start to pant when slightly physically active or under stress.

NuffCatnip: Crouch walking might be okay if you're a crab, but not for human beings.
I always assumed the characters crawled to move around, rather than crouch walked.

- Hey look, it's EA and other AAA game companies releasing another new game to their loyal fanbases. ;)

myconv: There is a practical game reason, it visually shows you in stealth mode, so people know they are sneaking. Also of course you got to move slower in stealth, and crouching would require you to move slower.

There is a real life reason that if you're lower down, someone might not notice your head.
This guy nailed it out of the gate. Realism has to make way for gameplay, otherwise games are no fun. Same reason why enemies go back to their normal routine eventually even if their friends were all killed.

In recent Hitman games it's not just a visual signal you're in stealth, it also makes you much less visible. If you are sneaking up behind someone near a mirror (very common with bathroom distractions) you will get spotted if you're standing, but not if you're crouched.
I´m no expert in such things, but don´t soldiers "crouch walk" like that? For me it was always quite realistic to see this in games.

Yeah. VLDL is a great channel, and EpicNPCMan actually handles the monitization schemes in one of their awesome videos.

My dad was in the army, and he has told me before that yes....they did crouch like that sometimes, as well as other maneuvers/movements like crawling on one's belly and etc.

When I was watching that thief steal those npc's money, I was thinking: horse armor, cosmetic gun skins, lootboxes....ding ding ding....into the company's coffers the money goes. :D

I get it. I was just promoting the channel because they are indeed quite excellent. I'm going through their "Bored" series and it is legitimately entertaining.
imo it makes perfect sense, crouching makes you less visible...when you're trying to hide in a dimly lit corner, would you try to get close to the floor or stand upright?
Granted, maybe there should be another kind of sneaking for situations where you just want to avoid making noise. But implementing two kinds of sneaking (one related to visibility, one related to noise) would be too complicated for most gamers and not much fun.

Even more relevant, this is how you do stealth in proper AAA games:

Good channel some of their videos are top notch. Too bad Brittany Clark moved from New Zealand to Australia and no longer appears in their videos, she is a real cutie.
I will never forget her!
