The Infiltration Suit is growing in popularity, and a rivalry is beginning between it and the powerful MAX armor. A stealth engineer describes an incident in a previous test where a MAX was unloading into an enemy AMS. The engineer proceeded to sneak up to the MAX and place mines around it. When the MAX moved to attack another wave of soldiers spawning from the AMS, the mines detonated, ending the assault. Another stealth soldier describes his experience with the melee boost implant, as he trailed enemy soldiers trying to penetrate his Empire's facilities. He was able to quickly dispatch them through the combined power of the implant and his knife's secondary attack mode.

So it seems that if one is VERY cautious in their movements in the stealth suit, it's quite hard to see them.
Oh hells yes.
The Dream is real. I can't wait.
(And it doesn't seem like the Stealth Suit is UBER, at least yet. Both of the above instances were a combination of smart use on the part of the stealth attackers and (at least for the MAX)
utter, mind-numbing stupidity on the part of the pwned. In the former situation... frankly, I'm still not sure how the stealth engineer pulled that trick off. Even if he went undetected, how did the MAX user NOT notice mines being placed around him? The latter example is simple rearguarding. If you're going in to a facility, watch out for stealther defense troops. Simple, really.)
