Soldato
Right well, after four hours, I still haven't managed the first mission Just trying to figure the AI out. I swear I'm getting spotted a lot by stuff that's round corners, yet sometimes I can sneak right past a soldier's nose in plain view with no cover. I must not be understanding the rules of stealth yet.
Using his mechanical arm to lure an enemy toward you... how is that supposed to help? There doesn't appear to be a way to do a takedown from behind cover.... so, useless?
Also I *hate* how if I restart a checkpoint, all the enemies stay marked. This feels like cheating, and means I have to restart the mission instead, losing a lot more progress. I wish there was a way to clear marked enemies when you reload a checkpoint, but there isn't It's lame. Especially because I'm trying to do this without killing soldiers, or being spotted (proper stealth).
You can perform a corner take down which is quite handy. The knock is also good for splitting groups of guards up. Remember when performing take downs or tranq shots that enemies wake up after 4 minutes or so. My tactic if not fultoning them away was hide the body, kick them to wake them up then perform a full CQC takedown as I read online that this keeps them down for a good 10 minutes.
