Operative Stealth Kill : Othor Games

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 9:29 am

While disguised can an Operative stealth kill or assassinate somebody, kinda like Killzone 3 ?

I'm going to assume you mean something like a backstab or throat slitting. I've never played KZ3 myself.

No. If backstabbing was in, too many people would run around in random circles trying to at behind the enemy, and achieving nothing.

You get Sticky bombs which will explode and kill the victim if he doesn't get a teammate to remove it in time.

That's the closest thing to a backstab.

Well, that and the fact that if you equip a sidearm as your secondary weapon, you can use Disguise to be inconspicuous, get close to a target, then alternate shooting and knifing until they go down - shouldn't take too long to finish someone that way.

What Rammite said.

Backstabs didn't feel consistent with their intended atmosphere and feel for the game, so they were scrapped long ago.

I like how they are not in, but its a shame. It could have been cool if say, backstab only worked from behind and from disguise. If you are not disguised, simple no backstab for you my friend! And it could have been a level 5 ability "Backstab - Ability to use your knife in close proximity to a players back for increased damage" Will still remove your disguise but if used correctly could take a whole team easily.

Then again i guess i just argued myself out of liking the ability

"Kill a whole team easily" No thanks? sounds op to me.

They didn't want to make any class rule over the other & most importantly SD made sure that there's only 1 announced way of killing someone with one hit.

No word on any "stealth kills". As far as I know, you lose disguise as soon as you aim.

You could shove someone down then shoot the crap out of them :whisper:

I doubt they OHK either. If they stick, it's a guaranteed knock-down and thus a very possible kill.

No animations.

Does that mean sticky bombs are essentially a OHK?

I highly doubt it, they would probably just knock you down like if someone on the other team would slide into you.

When an enemy is killed or knocked down an operative is able to use the ability "disguise" and take his clothing. Does it change your body type? One the operative takes teh disguise they cant be "spy checked" as in TF2. They are unseen by the radar and can go ebhind enemy lines. Once a disguised operative fires they lose the disguise. Not sure how meelee kills will come into play.

I've played KZ3 and a fully leveled infiltrator can keep his disguise active so long as he melee kills (which are OHK btw). It's fun sneaking around enemy lines and picking people off here and there before you are detected but almost every class in that game has something OP about it so it works in that situation but not in Brink im afraid.

Then this sort of renders the whole "OH MY GOD HELP ME GET THIS OFF, TEAMMATES!!!" thing useless. Like if you just stick it out and it goes off and you only get knocked down, you can get right back up.

Even if your disguised it not a OHKO to say. 2 knifes to finish or "Fire Away, Jean Grey".....your choice.

Although 2 shotgun blasts to the back of the head at close range should finish em'.

2?! One would make me teary-eyed. Painful just thinking bout it.

Remember, No OHKs, probably 1 to Incap, 2 to kill.

Yea, but the sound is enough to make your knees click!

Especially coming from right behind your head, from a guy you didn't see coming.

Nope

Blah.. Glad it's gone. Would have been like in the latest AvP where it was always "PRESS E TO WIN".

Etiam sit. It is.

Many thanks.

Like my new avatar?

And the 'Op stealth kill' would be one of those things where people would go 'WTF! WHY DO I ALWAYS GET KNIFED IN THE BACK BY THOSE DARN OPERATIVES!?"
So, it would be best if there was no such thing.
