That's really cool, glad we're starting to see the stealth stuff now, more details would be really great.

When it comes to cloaking I hope you're still 100% invisible when still and that picture is of a slowly moving infiltrator and not a stationary one. I thought that PS1 got stealth damn near perfect except for DL exploits, the actual cloak effect was damn near spot on, someone with a good eye could spot a moving infiltrator but if you were ultra slow (crouch+walk) then you were onnnnnnnly just visible and could sneak past guards, maximum fun.

This is stationary one. But he is visible because he has sniper loadout so cloak isnt perfect. If he had infiltrator loadout he would be invisible like in ps1.

Green: 2 unstealthed snipers
Blue: Steathed one (best visible zoomed out)
Red: unsure. it looks like silhouette of one, but is far distance/a lot smaller than other three.

that red circle was me in the same spot as the first screen.

Damn! So that other 3 snipers are just my imagination?

Considering the size of Higby, they're either your imagination or gigantic snipers. Sniper mechs perhaps.

The tree is the sniper. In PS2, trees fight back.

Right, that makes sense, it's a good idea to be honest.

Higby please drop a payload of stealth info on us soon, I really want to hear more about the class and what sort of james bond toys we get, especially anything thats non-combative and focused around sneaking past enemies to sabotage equipment and stuff like that.

I hope up close the Cloaking is better than in the pic. If a cloaker sitting still looks like that then hes meat. It looks just like the Cloaking from Reach and Halo 3, which (to me at least.) becomes easy to spot after your eyes are trained to see it. I don't even have to try and spot stealthed guys in those games anymore, i just see them.

But if hes lit up just for the pic, then that's cool. Or if that's just the Snipers cloak. Close quarters infiltrators should get slightly less visible stealth fields.

If only we had a thread full of replies that could allay your fears.

That's because they aren't there.

Again, that's not a sniper. That's clearly the virgin mary.

...or Elvis.

Yeah, it's a pretty big tree. My character died when I dropped out of it. =(

Physics engine needs some tweaking then.

On a more serious note, it looks like the opposite. Player avatars are quite small and the objects in game aren't quite that large after all.
