The cloak - just another gamebreaking drawback

Post » Tue Nov 02, 2010 4:01 pm

I decided to do at least a bit of sneaking yesterday and realised just one more change that counts as a gamebreaker at least in my book.

I wanted to sneak to an APC, plant some C4 and blow the bloody thing away, just like I used to do in Crysis. And all of a sudden the damn APC blew me to pieces with his cannon (because it can shoot magic projectiles that leave its cannon in a 90° angle...).
I really wondered why until I realised that the damn suit actually drops out of cloak when you plant explosives.

What kind of stupid decision is that?
I guess in Crysis 3 even pulling the trigger will cost energy and the cloak will only be available as long as you do not move...

Er, planting explosives dropped you out of cloak in Warhead too (never needed to do it in vanilla), and so did pulling the trigger.

At least in Crysis 2 if you plant explosives while cloaked you lose a chunk of energy instead of isnta-decloaking like in Crysis 1.

This. And planting C4 also de-activated cloak in the normal Crysis, aswell. (But I think, let it blow up didn't. Not sure as I never WAS cloaked when I did)
