Subject: Will stealth be possible?

I remember in Assault on the Control room in Halo 1, trying to take out one of the rooms without getting caught, will you be able to do this in ODST? If you shoot the silenced SMG, will the covenant hear you? If they are walking as a group and you melee a guy at the back, will they just somehow know you are there? I really hope it is stealthy.

Yes. Just not all stealth. Its guns blazing sometimes and other times it is a stealth option I think.

If you actually end up killing someone, I think that they should notice that there's something up.

It'd be stupid to have Grunts falling down dead beside oblivious Brutes.

Yeah, thats a cool new feature I like.

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

It's the bloody melee lunge that catches me out most of the time during stealth parts of Halo. Ever since Bungie have introduced melee lunge, I haven't been able to hit a sleeping Grunt without "bumping" into him thanks to the lunge, and the thing just waking up, screaming and running off. Bungie could do with reducing the melee lunge or removing it, to be honest.

And in the CMT campaign of Halo Custom Edition they had a silenced Sniper Rifle, you fired it and the enemies were none the wiser. Since all 3 games use a similar engine, it would be safe to say that the silenced Pistol and SMG won't be heard by enemies.

I mean if you meleed a grunt that might be a bit away from a Brute. And I wonder if they instantly know where you are if you hide and take out a grunt. Would be awesome if they didn't.

I hope its like stealth I love being stealthy especially in the call of duty games and Id love for it to be stealthy in ODST.

What I didn't like about the Halo 3 campaign stealth was when I was in the Citedel and turned on Active camoflage, all of the enemies just stared at me while cloaked and they didn't move. Really takes out the stealth part.
