I thought Altair, Batman, Rikimaru, Sam Fisher, and Snake were pretty good.

But none of them can go kill just one target:

1.) in a tightly guarded place or with hundreds of civilians watching all over

2.) without killing anyone else

3.) without anyone knowing he was there

4.) without anyone finding out about the murder until awhile later

5.) with just a piece of wire

And that's Agent 47. No one can pull off stealth like he can.

Very true.. well in that case Master Chief wins by default!!! lol jk my vote goes for Solid Snake

problem with snake is, his missions always have huge fire fights in them. he's not 100% stealth. he's more like 50% stealth and 50% action.

Gotta respect Agent 47! His only flaw is that he's so stealthy, a lot of gamers don't even know about him. I gotta get my hands on his 360 game. Thanks for reminding me!!

snake

 True but 50% of snake is still more badass than 100% of agent 47 ;)

the question is about who is the best stealth guy, and not who is the most bad ass.

Doesnt being a badass make him the best?

Agent 47 all the way.
No other stealth game gives you the same satisfaction like when you pull off a 0 alarms, 0 sightings kill in Hitman. Especially the Opera house in Blood Money

Snake! what do you mean he isn't 100% stealth?? MGS on Extreme- Instant game over if your caught.

And Batman is at a severe disadvantage he can't kill so hes moot. Now if it was just to knock your target out then bats wins since he is technically a Ninja
