Single player stealth games are boring for one big reason. AI. Any stealth game suffers from this. SC, MGS. You name it.

What do you consider the best stealth multiplayer game/mod ?

So do you want them to completely eliminate the stealth genre?

The best stealth-based multiplayer game that I've played is The Ship, although that's more social stealth (in fact, you're probably going to be assassinated if you're not in plain sight of at least two people).

No. I just don't get what's so exciting about the single player ones.

Once the Ai gets good enough, sign me in.

I like stealth elements in action/adventure games like MGS. The problem somes games suffer from is just being a trial and error stealth affair.

The Spy/Mercenary mode in Splinter Cell:Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory was awesome.

And the co-op missions in Chaos Theory were great as well.

I don't much care for games that FORCE you to be stealthy but I love games that give you the option.

You need to play Thief it seems :) But if you want stealth MP dust off your old copy of original Unreal Tournament and download ThieveryUT mod :)

Well...yeah, obviously, but the TC was asking about multiplayer stealth games.

Which reminds me - if the Thievery mod for UT is even remotely like the Thief series, then it should be totally awesome.

He said, Single Player stealth games are boring. I would say Theif is anything but boring.

Because you are in no position to judge stealth games until you play them.

So, an old game like Thief is gonna have even better AI than any recent game ?

As sad as it is: yes. (except T3, that had worse AI than previous 2). Overall Thief games are more challenging, they also reward exploration much more and they are almost completely devoid of the dreadful "trial and error" gameplay

I didn't say that. However, it is unfair to judge a genre when you haven't played the best that it has to offer :)

I already said that a big problem for the single player is the AI. Take a look at MGS4 from CES this year.
