    I do see it I just wish that wasn't a thing it's them impossible to ghost on pretty much every level in Blacklist correct? I've never raged on a forum before.....I felt powerful. But with great power comes great responsibility...I have no idea where this is going.

    Yes, even if I duel wield rocket launchers and call in airstrikes and nuclear warheads, as long as it's in a CUTSCENE, I'm still ghosting.
    Nice logic.

    I didn't think you were raging on one post. A lot of people think I rage on my posts, I have no clue why, but I don't. I just tell it how it is and somehow I'M FURIOUS and ANGRY AS HELL.

    Sure, I speak in a pissed off tone, but that doesn't mean smashing my keyboard to bits and pieces like everyone thinks I'm doing.

    It's not a matter of logic, it's a matter of what's gameplay and what isn't gameplay. Ghosting refers to being able to go through and entire level without touching anyone, as in you chose not to touch anyone. If it's a cutscene, it's inherently out of your control. You can't really do anything about at. And if you're talking about what you did in a game you aren't gonna say, "oh yeah then I pulled out rocket launchers and started calling in airstrikes but that was just a cutscene". You didn't actually do anything.

    Back in the day, us SC fans considered "ghosting" to be getting through a level without interacting or being detected (sometimes even not even shooting out lights). HOWEVER, it still counted if there were "required kills" a la LAX Airport in Pandora Tomorrow. Kobin's Mansion is ghostable except for the very end as you can't reach Kobin without taking out his guards first.

    We didn't count against player skill issues the game gave no option but to interact/kill certain NPCs.

    Sure i agree, at least you could kill without being detected, however forced detection is a big issue that was present in the original SC and is still present in Blacklist even though it was toned down and/or completely removed in later games.
    We are going backwards :X

    Just because the game arms you with an overpowered KO pistol and throws you into a firefight where everyone wants you dead and force you to takeout every single enemy on the map and use a UAV to rain down rockets and shells to destroy more stuffs otherwise the level wouldn't end. than give you a little good-spy sticker calling it Stealth, Doesn't Mean It' Is, and it certainly has Absolutely Nothing to do with Ghosting. and these kind of BS took away Over A Half of the SP mission times.

    That's what i have been trying to say, its not stealth and definitely not ghosting, and not what SC should be about.

    But back to the original topic if Abandoned Mill isn't available to be my favorite level to ghost on because of cutscenes then I would say Panama Bank on Chaos Thory. Gotta get that gold brick!

    American Consumption was the only level where you can "Ghost" & that's barely "ghosting".
    I don't know if I could Ghost Safehouse. I might try later today if I have the time.
    Sometimes it isn't worth playing, the game in general.
    And Yes, Bank is my favorite level in the SC series.
    Sorry with the quoting.

    EDIT:Sorry if I'm repeating some body.
