I think it might've been on the same mission, too, as it happens. It's what made me quit playing the game and uninstall it from my PC, which is something I haven't done out of anger in a very, very long time. That'd be because the stealth system in Metro 2033 is a joke. *Sniff* I just have something in both of my eyes. Shut up Captcha! These aren't tears of rage. 'Shooting out lights reveals your hiding spot and calls in a rain of bullets.'Īm I playing the game wrong? I would be relieved if I was being punished for playing like an idiot instead of what's happening now! 'Throwing knife will get you discovered.' The stealth just seems to follow no rules. I'm not arguing that the stealth is hard, therefore bad. Surface segments are always fun and the gunplay, while clunky, works well enough. The bits with Khan are always interesting. I like the other parts of this game well enough although it can be a bit linear.

BANG! Game Over Screen 'Tip: Environmental sounds can mask noise you make' Thanks Metro 2033.

Turning off a generator while hiding in complete darkness will alert the whole base to your presence. As soon as it leaves your hand you're being shot at. The enemy will twitch to turn towards you, which causes your shot to miss and makes you eat a bullet. Shooting at an alerted, but not alarmed enemy will alarm him before your shot connects. Shooting out a light that is already being peppered by enemy NPC fire will cause an alarm, alerting the whole base to your presence. Once you're discovered there's no hiding in the shadows anymore. In the time it takes you to fire two suppressed shots at him and kill him he has already informed everyone that there is an intruder in the base and has given them GPS coordinates to you location and future locations. Sometimes it takes a double tap to kill an enemy.

Queue 360 spin headshots from all enemies. Shooting a lone soldier in the head with a suppressed weapon in a combat zone, in complete darkness, will alert the whole base to your presence instantly. Easy enough to move around without being seen or heard, right? Gunfire muffles most sounds and bullets constantly ricochet near your head from across the map. To keep this from turning into a huge rant I'll give examples from a single chapter.įrontlines - The chapter begins with you moving through a metro tunnel during an active battle between two factions in the metro. I've read countless threads of people saying the stealth is fair and realistic while others call it shallow and broken. Metro 2033 actively hates me for using stealth and I can't figure out why when it's drilled into my head that stealth conserves your ammo and keeps you alive. Punching people in their heads and turning off lights.

My playstyle in Metro: LL was all stealth.

Since I had jumped into the series with Metro: LL I had to know how it all began! Only 3 bucks for Metro 2033? Count me in! At the same time failing to inform you of keys to press during QTEs or even the fact that QTEs are happening, the story, atmosphere, stealth and gunplay made up for it and I don't regret playing it. Even though Ranger Hardcore mode's lack of a HUD meant being unable to count your ammo, bullets, medkits or filters. On a whim I picked up Metro: Last Light during the steam sale and had a great time with it.
