First always pron when moving never stand crouch only when near cover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Introduction:
Being stealthy is to bring the enemy down before he or anyone else notices you. You need to spot the enemy before he spots you. You always have to be aware of your surroundings and use your senses to determine where the enemy is positioned.
Attachment~ The attachment you must have at all times is the silencer. There would be no point in being stealthy if you're going to be noticed. Any rifle or SMG is fine for a silencer as long as you are comfortable in using it.
Always silence your pistols and NEVER use the Desert eagle when going stealthy.
Tip 1~ Know All or at Least Most of the Different Routes in the Map:
Knowing different routes can make it easier to move from one place to another and to flank the other team. When one pathway is covered, go to another one until you reach your destination.
Tip 2~Always Stay Away from Your Teammates:
If you stick with your team, you will have a better chance of being seen and ultimately get yourself killed. Teammates will get you killed most of the time. You should always stay by yourself. If a teammate is moving with you, then go a different pathway (also another good reason to know tip 1) unless you confirmed that he has a silencer and won't attract attention to the other team. If you are moving in groups, it should be no more than three people because of 1) there would be less at the front lines to keep the enemy distracted and 2) more people will cause more movement and it will increase the chances of being seen.
Tip 3~ Move Along the Perimeter of the Map:
Move along the outside of the map when ever possible. It would be easier to flank the enemy and have less chance of anyone to notice you.
Tip 4~ Move Along the Walls:
Walls provide cover for you and hide your movement. They also provide some protection when under fire.
Tip 5~Move Slowly:
Sprinting or just walking upright can create more movement and more noise than couching or proning and like before, it would just create more attention to you. Only when the area is clear is when you can sprint.
Exception~ Sprint if you are moving from building to building. If you move slowly, you will be out in the open longer with no cover. It would be best if you just sprint to each building.
Tip 6~Grab a Sniper Rifle:
Unless you have Overkill, if you see a sniper rifle lying on the ground, pick it up. Snipers constantly scan the area for enemies and have more of a chance to spot you than anyone else. Since they are located from a far and cannot be reached with a silencer, you can use the sniper rifle to take them out and have less of a problem in getting to your destination. It also gives you the option to snipe the enemy from behind. Since being stealthy can increase your chances of getting behind the enemy without being noticed, you can take up positions and snipe the enemy from behind.
If there can’t find a sniper rifle, an assault rifle will do just fine. They can replace the range lost when using the silencer, but it makes it easier for the enemy to know your position because of the killcam and the radar(unless the rifle is also fitted with a silencer).
Tip 7~Camp:
Camp each doorway and path where you think the enemy might come out from. Do it for about 10 to 20 seconds and then move on. If think the enemy is coming, camp the entrance/exit for around 30 seconds. If you plan to go in/out of the building or the next area, proceed with caution and scan the area for enemies. If you know when someone is coming, then just stay there until he comes out.
You should also stay out of the enemy’s sight and don’t camp in places that are too obvious.
If you are camping in one spot, don’t get over 3 kills. When you do, you have to move. Any more than that and the enemy will be aware of your presence and know where you are hiding. Even just moving your position slightly will help a lot.
Tip 8~Move in the Shadows:
Move in dark areas whenever possible. You would be well concealed just by the darkness alone. Unless the enemy uses Night Vision, they won’t easily notice you.
Tip 9~Play Dead:
Proning and then constantly tapping the button to switch your weapon will make you look like a corpse and it’s an effective way to hide when there is no cover to protect you. As long as the enemy doesn’t see you start to prone or when you start switching your weapon (since they cause movement) and you stay still, the enemy won’t really bother to even look at you. The only problem to this is that your name still pops up when you are aimed at. This is also good for ambushing enemies.
Tip 10~Let Some Enemies Go:
(Unless you are quick) If the enemy runs past you and is too fast for you to catch, then let him go. It’s more important attract less attention to you and move on with your stealth than trying to get another kill.
A Tip when taking out Claymores:
When taking out Claymores shoot one and then hide for about 10 seconds. Taking out Claymores will alert the sniper (assuming) that someone might be there. Waiting a while will make the sniper to grow impatient and resume back to sniping. Then take out the other one and repeat. If you fire at a Claymore and get hit by it, wait even longer because that will notify the sniper that someone isthere. Afterward, take out whoever is there and move on. Also be cautious and prepared if the sniper comes out and tries to search for you.
How do you go about with the stealth tactic? Be smart. Don’t go plunging up the middle, take side paths. Say there’s a road you must cross to get to the enemy territory because you want to hit them from behind. Check it real quick, then sprint across and hit a spot of cover on the other side, maybe hit the floor on a patch of grass or crouch behind a box. Stealth will require some patience, too, if you don’t think it’s safe to go then don’t. Crawl if you feel needed. Adjust to the situation at hand, because like I said earlier, stealth is all about being smart. Some people just use stealth for anti-sniper.
First off locate the sniper, and if you don’t feel you can get him by cooking a grenade and throwing it up there, then get to the target building and be cautious when entering. Many, many snipers use claymores to protect themselves, thus some anti-snipers use the Bomb Squad perk. Also, I have a quick word about the killcam. Most likely the sniper has killed you if you are going to get him.
If you have possibly made yourself known be wary, and as you will have an assault rifle or SMG you should take care of them and their pistol if you see them soon enough. If they are on the second floor, toss a flash or a stun up there and sprint up the steps, wary of claymores at the top. If the grenade is good they won’t be able to see/hear/move depending on the grenade you use. So smokes won’t work for this.
Anyhow knock them out while they’re stunned. If you fail to kill them, go back and own them because you disarmed the claymores and you know where they are. I’ve kind of gone off on a sniper tangent… but those tactics work for breaching any building, large or small. Be smart and be aware. If you are not breaching a building, take un-used paths and be sneaky. Even crawling to the top of buildings and falling down and taking a bit of fall damage to get past using the main road is a good idea, so look for ladders. Just make sure the fall isn’t too high.
