I hate it when developers ruin a good game by adding a section where no matter how good you are at fighting, because they make you sneak. I am not very good at sneaking and it is very frustrating. I am not a person who says, "If I don't like it, no one can have it!" I believe that it should be included for the people who like it, I just don't. What do you think?

Yeah, good idea. You should be able to do what you want.

I don't like being FORCED to do stealth. But in Splinter Cell, it's kinda tight. In Halo, youcould do stealth, all you had to do was time moves perfectly (Thank You, lol) and kill silently, but, of course, you could always go in with guns blazing...

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

I love using stealth but I can see where it can get annoying for the impatient.

I've managed to get through entire sections of Halo without firing a shot and it gives me immense satisfaction but I wouldn't want it pushed upon me. I like to play things both ways and wouldn't want to be robbed of my replay value.

One of the great things that made Halo the great game it was, was the fact that if you didn't go stealth when you had to you could still recover with good fighting.

That's the way it should be, you could stick to the shadows and meele the sleeping elites, or come in guns blazing, yet be able to win either way.

Did you play Jedi Outcast? That was the most anoying. I have nothing against stealth. It can be fun, I'm not good at it but it can still be fun. My problem is when there is no other option. I can't stand that! Look at my quote, stealth coupled with power.

stealth could help but in the end it takes a big stick to win fight thank you teddy R. stelth should be highly recomended and nearly imposible to do the mission without stealth but still possible and the only true stealth weapon in the game is the energy sword (now i like stealth)

they should have some stealth parts but it should not be absolutly necessary to maintain the stealth, if your cover is blown u should still be able to progress asumeing you have the skills to kill the enemies. the stealth opertunities should just make it easier to advance rather then full-out rambo.
