These are just some people's questions about gameplay and mechanics that I've seen in different threads and I thought I would just take a stab answering them. Feel free to add any counter points or disagree with me as these are strictly my opinions.

Q. Why can people see me cloaked so easily? I though I was supposed to be invisable.

A. Stealth is not meant to make you completely unseen in the game, as this would just add the frusterating and unavoidable deaths. Stealth is to conseal your position at a distance or (up close) make your opponent hesitate and wonder if he saw something move or not and potentially give you an extra second or two to react on them. Stealth Enhance II definitly gives you a better cloak ability though if you need that extra something when in close quarters battles.

Q. Why did the kill cam show I only got meleed once? or why did it take three or more melees to kill some one?

A. There have been times when I went to melee an opponent the first attack didn't show on my screen but I still heard the sound of contact, he then died with the second melee. On his kill cam it probably looked as though I only hit him once. Also, I have notice that if you try and melee staight out of cloak the first hit does little to no damage and so it can take three hits to beat them down. And if you have a secondary weapon equipped (these take three melee to kill by default) then it could potentially take up to four or five hits to kill an opponent. These situations could account for the confusion.

Q. Why doesn't air stomp ever work?

A. I'm not an expert with this as I only have 8 air stomp kills, but I have attempted many times and It seems that it is only fatal if you do it from pretty high up location. i.e. of the roof of the glass house on Skyline or from the second floor at the building's main entrance on Wall Street. I did see on my kill cam that when I did it from the top of the stairs on Terminal and landed on someone, their screen did show damage dealt, but not fatal. He of course then killed me. Very cool ability just not that practical.

Q. Why is the Jackal so horrible and takes so many shots to kill someone?

A. I will admit that the default auto fire is not the greatest and you must be very close for it ot even be effective, however it you switch to the single shot (left on D pad) at the start of each life it becomes a much more powerful weapon. You can one shot kill most enemies and you are not waisting ammo by firing wildly at them with the full auto. I have had many 3.0-4.0 k/d matches using this method. Also using point fire enhance and mobilty enhance compliment this play style as well.

I will edit this thread if I find any other questions that I feel like I could shed some light on. Hope you enjoy this post and I hope that people would feel free to discuss other topics and situations that they have encountered during their Crysis 2 experiences.

1) As the term suggests it's called Cloak, not invisible if we were completely invisible it would be impossible to spot anyone.

At this moment in time I think that they should make it a little harder to been seen, on the night maps (Evac Zone, Liberty Island, Statue, Parking Deck) it is so easy to see someone you may as well not use it. You stand out as this blue silhouette, they need to sort his. This is a reason I hate Parking Deck as they are long lines of sight and you're too easy to spot.

2) The killcams are BS - Whatever happened on my screen prior to dying rarely correlates with what happened in the Killcam i.e. on my screen I got melee'd one but on killcam I clearly was melee'd three times.

3) You've answered you're own question, the Jackal is not useless with Single-shot. The gun rewards good aim, you are punished for spray and pray (full-auto), as it should be. The weapon is incredible in Crash Site as you can kill enemies very fast and they are all within-close range if you flank them in stealth.

Sorry, I need to edit my post. These are not my questions, they are questions that I've seen other people ask and I decided to try and answer them all in one place. Sorry for the confusion.

Bump, because I think other people need to see this.

How do I bump thread to the top of the list?

I was hoping to get more feedback on this thread to see if people agree or disagree with my findings. I really want ot know what other people think about these issues.
