Best stealth shooter series?

I'm not into them that much but from what I've played it's a toss between Syphon Filter and Splinter Cell for me. :)

Splinter Cell. Chaos Theory was just too good. Loved everything about that game.

Rogue Warrior lol.

Metal Gear Solid its not even close.

Are you talking about true stealth games or just games that allow you to use stealth in a action game? If you are talking true stealth games then you should take a couple of the games off the list.

Off that list I pick Splinter Cell though

Deus ex. (but only the first one)

I've never actually played it, but since I'm here before the obligitory "Thief pwns MGS and Splinter Cell" posts, I might as well go ahead and mention Thief.

IMO Splinter cell has the best stealth elements of the ones you listed, MGS has always been more about the story.

A shooter can't be stealth.

True. If your playing on the easiest setting then you can shoot your way through the game but once you get into the harder difficulties you have to sneak and use your silenced weapons.

Metal Gear not stealth... C'mon, didn't it actually create stealth gameplay? The stuff people say here never ceases to amaze.

lol thats more of a puzzle game and even then you have to fight. Good game but nothing compared to Metal Gear Solid.

[QUOTE="ZuluEcho14"] Go play Penumbra and learn what stealth is.ZuluEcho14

Lol, seriously have you ever even played Metal Gear Solid? Lierally every level you have to be completely undetected or you get shot to pieces and then hunted down.

Please enlighten us as to what game before metal gear1, not solid, where the point of the game was to not get into fights and slip past enimies instead of shoot at them?

1987, go for it.

[QUOTE="ZuluEcho14"] ? You are completely vulnerable in Penumbra there's no way you can fight bacl, if you get caught you are dead. You actually have to be... oh... you know... stealthy!Silent-Hal

Stealth mechanics? Last time I saw, stealth was about staying hidden and not get caught.

Also. Pictured, stealth!

I guess I'd give SC the nod due to its versus/coop, followed by MGS.

Wow, 1981, fair enough, I stand corrected. Metal Gear wasnt the first.

*facepalm*

Metal Gear Solid series

You can't judge the nerve shredding stealth of trying to slip past three patrolling genome guards and then waiting for the lift by gameplay videos.

I like SC series but MGS... is far better, as a whole game. But even in stealth mechanics only, MGS3 is the winner.

your really making your judgements from videos?

*facepalm*

Splinter Cell has the best stealth mechanics of them all, but most will vote for MGS because people go gaga over the story, but Splinter Cell is the better stealth game. I also like Hitman because of the style.

Yes, because that really screams out shooter.

What I have seen cannot be categorized as stealth, I believe I can make that judgement from gameplay videos.ZuluEcho14

What makes MGS great is that it gives you more freedom then most stealth games

I like Splinter Cell due to the more realistic approach to stealth. I like the MGS series, but I just can't take it's stealth approach seriously. When you can get back up from a rocket to the face, why exactly are you trying to hide from a guy with a rifle?
