There are those whose skills allow them to dominate a battlefield with strategy. There are those who take command of others, and lead them to victory. Still others whose skills turn them into a roaming nightmare for their enemies, creating an environment of terror with every burst of gunfire. And more who can dominate opponents in personal combat without breaking a sweat.

I can do all of these things in a pinch. I can lead just as well as I can follow. I can formulate the plan and teach others to execute it flawlessly. I can turn a band of madmen into a functional, well-oiled machine of strategic destruction. I can rally comrades after a bitter, heartbreaking defeat. I can put lead on target, execute combos, solve puzzles, and I can even conjure enough dexterity to handle the occasional bit of well-timed jumping, but none of these things are areas which I truly excel.

What am I good at, you ask? I’m good at being impossible to find. Undetectable. Silent. I am the Invisible Man. 

I am not what you might call “a natural”. My skills are entirely learned, and I have worked very hard over the years to maintain and evolve them. I did not arrive at my current ability to disappear into thin air by accident.

It all began with Metal Gear Solid. It was a painful learning curve for me, adjusting to not gunning down or beating up everything in sight. At first I did not like the change. I hungered for combat and violence; gathering ammo, and gunning down guards whenever the opportunity arose. I learned rather quickly that this was not the way to go about playing the game. Eventually, I had to learn to utilize stealth if I was ever going to make it through.

Some people learned to be invisible in Metal Gear Solid by memorizing patrol patterns and segments of the game. I had no FAQs to guide me, no purchased strategy guide, only my burning desire and tenacity to bring me through. I learned to become invisible by learning the guard behaviors and exploiting them. I do not have a map of the game burned into my brain with listings of when it is safe to move and when it is not. I just know what the AI will do in this situation or that situation. It is this process that I credit with my current status as a living shadow. This method, which I have been able to apply to many games from many different genres, has helped me to build an exponential volume of knowledge on my chosen craft.

My desire to become invisible transcends the traditional “stealth genre” that Metal Gear Solid can be credited with creating. I am good at stealth games, to be sure. I own nearly every game in the Metal Gear Solid series, each beaten far more than truly necessary. I have been a professional ninja in the Splinter Cell games. I’ve stolen more than my fair share of delightful goodies in the Thief games. However, I am not writing this to tell you that I am a master of stealth games; anyone can learn to do that if they’re determined enough. I am writing this because stealth has become my chosen approach in nearly any type of game, in any genre available. From Battlefield to Neverwinter, my goal is always the same: be the invisible man. I am not just good at doing this, I am exceptional at this.

When it comes to RPG games, if a stealthy approach of any kind is available, that’s where I make my home. In traditional western-style RPGs like Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, or the more recent Dragon Age: Origins, my skills are quickly put to use as a stealth expert. More often than not, this takes the form of becoming an assassin or a spy of some sort. I skulk in the shadows and appear only after the battle has already been decided. I have the power to choose which of my enemies live and which die, and I exercise that power with absolutely terrifying impunity. Were my enemies living, breathing people, I might even pity them.



It was in the realm of RPGs that I learned patience and control. Perhaps more essential than any natural talent for subterfuge or camouflage, these two behavioral traits imprinted upon me one of the most important skills of a stealth expert: it is absolutely vital to stay your blade until the right moment. Being eager, being anxious, being excited and seeking the satisfaction of the kill, these are the hallmarks of a novice. A master is patient and precise, wasting no movement, wasting no time. Each second is carefully planned and predicted, from the acquisition to the stalk to the execution and beyond.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion offered me the chance to combine my skills more directly with an RPG framework. Actually hiding, watching, waiting, and timing my strikes for devastating effects in order to advance was a fresh experience in RPG territory for me. It was just another chance to polish my skills and sharpen my senses, taking me even further down the path to becoming the Invisible Man.

First Person Shooters. The name pretty much explains it all; you play it in first person, and you are expected to shoot things. A genre that comes ready-made for adrenaline junkies and action fanatics. A war zone, full of the ripple of gunfire and the shattering crash of explosions is not a place that is typically conducive to invisibility. On the other hand, it has proven itself time and time again to be a place where my abilities can be absolutely essential to success.

The Battlefield series was the first to give me an opportunity to really put my stealth skills into practice against others. The maps were just large enough for one man to be able to go unnoticed, which allowed me to do what I was really good at: completely disappear.

I liked the anonymity of a large map and a large group of people. It allowed me to be just another face in the crowd, and that was good. Every other member of my team was just a tool for me to use: something big and angry that took attention off of the single infantryman circling around behind enemy lines to set traps, sabotage equipment, execute commanders, and flank heavy weapons or tanks. I was already good at being stealthy, but Battlefield 2 made me better in every way possible.

It was through Battlefield 2 that I was able to learn and interpret intangible things like momentum, intention, and capability. The intuitive learning structure I had formed from Metal Gear Solid took hold and I began to accumulate and interpret an incredible amount of information in very short periods of time. Months of learning the maps, the different styles of playing them, and the general structure of the multiplayer community that the game had created paid off in unexpected ways for my stealthy approach to the game. Thanks to my experience from other games up to that point, I was able to apply the same kind of generalized approach I’d used to start my journey to becoming the Invisible Man, to intuitively map the battlefield in my mind as a living, breathing entity.

I could interpret things like troop positioning, movements, likely spawn locations of individual soldiers, when I could expect support or enemy counterattack, and more! I could read the battlefield like a book based on how far into the map cycle we were, how long we’d been on the map, how many people were on the map, what flags each team was holding and the methods of attack they were using. Even now I can list off approaches I would use based on different scenarios in each map.

I used all of that information to lead small teams into vital areas and really hit the enemy where it hurts. Cutting off the next set of reinforcements by capping ahead of the advancing army at a vital position. Sabotaging equipment and vehicles at their locations. Killing high value targets like engineers, squad leaders, snipers, front line medics and commanders. I didn’t get many kills, but every enemy I put down was more important to the greater conflict than any dime-a-dozen front line soldier. Battlefield 2 took my affinity for stealth and turned it into a tangible weapon, while simultaneously teaching me to interpret my enemy on a psychological level based on observable signs. When I was the most hated man on the battlefield, when whole squads were pulled off the front lines to hunt me down, when every member of the enemy team was busy scanning the environment for my last known location, when every last one of them wanted to put a bullet in my head or a knife in my stomach, and they still couldn’t find me, that is when I became the Invisible Man.

I still put my skills to good use in every game I play. You would think that I’m the kind of guy who defaults to the stealth classes in multiplayer games, but that’s not true at all. I can take almost anything and make it seem invisible. I’m the stealthiest damn Demoman you’ll never see in Team Fortress 2, and I continued my stealth career into Battlefield 2142 with the Assault kit rather than Spec Ops. Stealth has a whole lot more to do with patience and reading the situation at hand than having the ability to disguise yourself and walk among the enemy or cloak and make yourself tougher to pick out in the midst of battle.

When you learn to interpret the world around you accurately and instinctively, when you can take that knowledge and turn it into a practical method to evade detection, when you can use that method to strike your enemies with merciless accuracy and efficiency, and when you can learn to master your own impulses to kill, replacing them with patience and unleashing them only on targets of the highest priority, only then can you become truly invisible.

I am undetectable. Wherever you search, I am not there. I am a master of interpretation. If I take you out, it is because you have told me when and where you would be. I am patient. If you pass by me and live, it is only because I have allowed it. I am not apprehensive. I am not seeking the high score. I am not driven or compelled to rush headlong into battle. I consider honor to be a bad joke. I never fight fair.

Ladies and gentlemen of Destructoid, this is my area of expertise. I am The Invisible Man.

Stealth does indeed have nothing to do with the ability to disguise yourself or make yourself invisible, but when you're a demoman, being stealthy won't improve your game much other than being less killed.

@Pablo Contreras,

One of the main advantages that stealth provides is positioning. Being able to get past the enemy's front lines in many TF2 maps as a Demoman is a huge advantage because you can go to town on engineers and buildings. Of course, if you're using the Chargin' Targe and the Eyelander then there's no point and you're better off running around on the front lines.

I just don't see the strategic value in that playstyle, myself.

AWESOME blog!! I just don't have the patience to be stealthy and instead tend to charge in with guns blazing or sword swinging!

Stealth takes patience.. and strategic planning... but mostly patience! Even in MAG we come across a "knifer" every once in awhile... someone who has the patience to sneak into a perfect spot near the front where the enemy is spawning and knife them down ruthlessly - it's awesome to see these people rack up a ton of kills before finally being gunned down and only because every one is screaming about the ninja knifer on mic and co-ordinating.

Yeah, I'm completely with you on this. In most team-based games, I watch with confusion as players rush a point, die, respawn, and go straight back at that point without hesitation. Why not flank around? Proceed to a less-used entrance? Avoid common kill zones?

I appreciate this blog.

You,sir, are one of my favorite opponent types. I take joy in tracking down and killing snipers because they're camping pansies, but a truly intelligent and sneaky foe makes me feel all warm and glowing. Vehicle campers and noob tube whores bore and sicken me, but when I see a coordinated, covert effort, I focus all my attention on that player. We need more of your kind in the online arenas. May I see you before you see me, and happy hunting.

I'm going to have to agree with Bedeage and Psycho Terror on this one... What the hell is this? If I write a rambling rant about how much I love, I don't know, what's another video game trope and banal occurrence... Oh, ok, how much I love blowing things up, will that get me on the front page? This might be one of the most d-bag things I've ever read on this site. And that's counting Jim Sterling's rants.

For someone who claims to like stealth so much, you sure do talk a lot.

I find I use stealth alot too.
With MW2 mulitplayer I just figure out which direction all my team mates are going and head in the opposite direction. Because one the enemy has spotted the main bulk of our sides forces I standing behind them killing 3-5 people per personal death.

It's so satisfying winning a game with a score such as 22-5.
I mean granted I'm not the best, But I rack up the wins quite well.

One mistake that always makes me laugh is when someone shoots their gun and REMAINS where he is.

Shoot and move, shoot and move. Quietly and quickly, and they'll never see you coming. :-)

SOMEBODY uses the Scottish Resistance. On a less passive aggressive note, I've always valued accuracy over stealth. Sure, any old git can skulk about in the shadows, flailing in the general direction of their unaware opponent when they choose to strike; but at the end of the day there is nothing more rewarding than straight up droppin' a duece on the face of an enemy who's looking right at you. Unless it's fallout 3, since most of the "explosive" and "big gun" classes were sort of disappointing, and shanking raiders is the national pastime our Founding Fathers intended us to enjoy.

@grafkhun,

Jumping right in with both feet certainly has its allure, and from time to time even I find it impossible to resist.

@psycho terror2,

Afraid you might have to get used to it, at least for a little while, considering this month’s musing is The Areas of My Expertise. This normally wouldn't get promoted at all; it's completely shameless self-aggrandizement. I would have preferred to have one of my more substantive offerings on the frontpage, but this is the monthly musing, and this was my take on it. I can see it's not your cup of tea though, and that's cool.

@ChrisMJ,

I prefer the predator just because I’ve always been a huge fan of the movies. The aliens are a bit better at stealth and lightning fast attacks, though, which is the play style I usually gravitate toward. Though I get stuck playing the Marine more often than not.

@Gyro,

I look forward to seeing you on the battlefield. Or, at least, trying to avoid being seen by you.

@Blindfire - "area" of expertise. You start of by saying how awesome you are at EVERYTHING, but at stealth, you're even more awesomer. Way to stay on the musing topic without acknowledging ANY WEAKNESS WHATSOEVER.

And also "I skulk in the shadows and appear only after the battle has already been decided"

then what's the fucking point of coming out? If the battle is decided, then you, by definition of "decided" won't make any difference at all. It did sound cool, tho.

TLDR: Cool story, bro.

In my mind, these articles really read like gamers trying to brag about their skills to non gamers, betting on the fact that the listener doesn't really know that the speaker is really full of shit.

I'm sure you're great dude, but don't blow smoke up our asses.

It's not just you, so please don't take it personally. It's just the nature of this month's topic.

Well written article, it was fun to read, but its also full of BS.
Blindfire's Avatar - Comment posted on 02/10/2010 22:29

@TheStripe,

I don't recall ever saying that I am "awesome at everything". In fact, I'm pretty sure I strictly avoided that. I made a short list of things I can do; I can lead, I can shoot, I can play fighting games, solve puzzles, and handle platforming. So can anybody who plays games. Any gamer can do what I described; I'm not at all saying I can do it better than them. In fact, the point I was trying to make there is that there are people who are experts at doing those things, and I am not one of them. I can do them "in a pinch"; they're not things I'm really great at, but I can do them. I was not trying to place myself in some kind of incredible winner's circle. Furthermore, I thought I made it perfectly clear that this isn't something I can just DO. It's not some natural talent. It's something I learned over years of playing games, something that I have cultivated and worked at, and over that time it has become my "area of expertise". I tried to follow along my history with games and give examples of when I learned certain things, and why they were important to me, and to my craft.

Also, that line, "I skulk in the shadows and appear only after the battle has already been decided" was meant to indicate that what I'm doing isn't seen until the job is done. I try to be invisible up to the point where I take the shot, or trigger the explosives, or ram in the knife, or do whatever it is I'm trying to do. Once I've done it, the job is done; there's no undoing it. Thus, the only time I come out is after the battle's won. I'm not some coward that spends all of my time hiding instead of fighting; if it's more beneficial for me to be doing something else in a team, I'll do that instead. I'll even do something I'm awful at if it's necessary. I don't give a shit about score, I care about teamwork and getting the job done. I've logged far more than my fair share of time thanklessly running around repairing tanks and critical equipment, setting up defenses nobody was likely to ever get to (but we'd be totally screwed if they weren't there), and other boring, mundane tasks because they were more necessary than my preferred playstyle. I see value in every position, and every job. Everyone is necessary. I don't focus on stealth to the exclusion of other roles; I'm just at my best when I'm doing that, thus... "area of expertise".

@ Blind - So what you're saying is that you picked a cool-sounding phrase that doesn't really at all describe what you wanted to say. It's also pretty erroneous to say you "come out after the battle is won." How exactly would you "set off the explosive" or "plunge in the knife" without joining the battle? In fact, the very moment you execute whatever supercoolawesomestealthbadmotherfucker move, you're in the battle. That may be, if we buy your shtick, the moment DIRECTLY before the end of the battle, but you're still a part of the battle. This might seem a bit nitpicky to some, but really, if you're going to drop a thousand words on how big your ePeen is, you should at least pick them carefully. Fully expect every single one of this month's musings to be picked over incessantly, and to be called out for being a big-headed fool.

Also, read this:
"I can do all of these things in a pinch. I can lead just as well as I can follow. I can formulate the plan and teach others to execute it flawlessly. I can turn a band of madmen into a functional, well-oiled machine of strategic destruction. I can rally comrades after a bitter, heartbreaking defeat. I can put lead on target, execute combos, solve puzzles, and I can even conjure enough dexterity to handle the occasional bit of well-timed jumping,"

This doesn't sound like being average at [skill x]. Words like "flawlessly" and "strategic destruction" certainly give the impression that you think you're pretty cool beans. In fact, if you really can do the things you state, you ARE awesome at everything, either that, you're playing on a totally different XBL/Steam/PSN than I am.

I'm thinking of writing my own of these with the explicit goal being to avoid being an ass-plunging, self-aggrandizing douchebag. I'm not sure it's possible.

I'm not trying to be insulting. Maybe not entirely. The article is well written and it held my attention. It's the topic itself; I think most people would be hard pressed to present their ideas on this topic without sounding like a self-aggrandizing d-bag.

It would help if the ideas presented were at the very least grounded in reality.

@TheStripe,

I guess we just disagree on what I meant with what I wrote. I wasn't expecting a pat on the back from anyone for this; I fully expect every single thing that goes to the front page to be picked over incessantly and discussed in full. If I was terrified of criticism, or that someone would disagree with me, I wouldn't bother posting at Destructoid at all; I'd stick to Facebook or MySpace or some other place where my friends can spend all day jerking me off and telling me how incredible I am.

I explained the intentions behind what I said because you didn't seem to understand where I was coming from, or where I was going with it. That's my fault as a writer for leading you to the wrong places, and it's important to admit when you've made a mistake, then try to clarify things: I did not choose words or terms that got my thoughts across as I conceived them, and that was absolutely my mistake. It is something I intend to work on avoiding the next time I write something. I did, however, want you to understand the meaning behind what I was writing anyway, so I took the time to explain my intentions more directly. I did not explain because I had a problem with what you said, or what you feel, so much as why. If you still feel I sound like a self-aggrandizing douchebag after learning my motivations and intentions with those passages, that's totally your business. I fully respect that, but I felt it was important to at least try to clarify and explain.

I poured on the self-aggrandizement pretty thick while I was at it, but that's the nature of this month's musing. I'd like to see your shot at it, if you can pull off what you're aiming for. But like you said, I don't know if it's possible to not come off as a douchebag.
