For the stealth part, it's true that it gives you a choice to stealth or gun, but the fact that you can beat the game without stealthing means that there's a flaw in the system and makes stealth obsolete. Deus Ex HR also gives you the same option (stealth or gun blazing), but that game does force you to stealth at times especially in the beginning. You start the game out with crappy weapons (having to reload after every shot) and very little ammo. If you try to run and gun there, you'll most likely die. Also, you start out with limited inventory space, so you can't pick up every ammo, weapon, health item, etc. As for the online, I didn't spent a good amount of time with it. In fact, I would always get disconnected from a game upon two minutes of entering one, so I never got the chance to play a complete game. And it was weird at times; I would respawn, and my character would scream and die. Also, I always had trouble updating it, so I just gave up on the online portion. @leatherhat, I played it on normal on my first playthrough. Running and gunning gave me very little to no trouble at all. In hard mode, I sided with the Resistance to help me battle the opposing force. |
as has been stated you cannot run and gun on the higher levels, so no stelth is not obsolete, try that run and gun stuff on the highest difficulty and see what happens
