Situational Awareness and Discipline Will Save Your Life. Camo Won't. | Forums

The outfit your character wears doesn't matter. As long you observe the fundamentals of good soldiering, you will gain the upper hand in any engagement.

An outfit that gives a player additional bonuses to stealth, does not make him a better soldier.

I wondered myself if the camo had any affect on stealth, considering the different environments and camos that suit each. Something Ubi should develop in future titles.

They probably decided not to count outfit stats because of planned PvP. All players would be using the best possible gear so all would be running around using the same outfit.

Once again I'll say why I'm glad there's no camo index on clothing, because now I don't have to see every person in co-op running around dressed as bush wookies just for more camo. I don't have a problem with ghillie's but when you just see everyone using them looking like clones.. I might as well go play ARMA 3 if that's what I wanted to see..

The stealth camo index (for outfits) could be implemented in the MGS series because the story campaign is solo player only. They even throw in cardboard boxes with pretty ladies cos' that is how the guards work in Hideo Kojima's world.

For GRW's story missions co-op play, player character customization becomes the highest priority. To keep things simple, the player is not penalized for wearing a favourite outfit that does not match with the surroundings. And that is one less thing for the player to worry about, considering that the player could freely explore different types of environments in one sitting. It is a necessary concession to meet players' expectations to showcase one's individuality, while working in a team based activity.

Perhaps the stealth camo index could be implemented in a Splinter Cell game, this would free it from the shackles of shooting the light bulbs gameplay mechanic and help to make it truly open world with a full day-night cycle.

Am I the only one that feels as if the Camo actually does work? I've literally been 30-40 metres from an enemy hiding in a bush with him staring at me with nothing happening and obviously when I moved from the bush he saw me. I've also had another scenario with sniping from only 250 metres away hiding in the trees where i've completely missed so I stayed still while they searched for me and they couldn't find me. So I personally think it does help in some situations but not in all.

Yeah, sure... having an AK47 with pinky camo and a blue shirt will keep you undetected in a real combat recon scenario...

If the devs make it too realistic, then ppl will complain again and call it a Wardrobe Simulator 2017.

It's funny ppl don't take issues with gold plated weapons.

Agreed.

Getting "gold plated weapons" are for gangsters not for spec op units...

You really want to have to change all your clothes every time you change environments? Sometimes there isn't a single outfit that would work in a given situation, so what then? That kind of complexity would be extremely difficult to program into an AI. It might come more into play with pvp, but that deals with real people seeing with their eyes, which are fallible. That is exactly why we developed camo, to trick people's eyes.
