10 Video Game Stealth Game Mechanics That Make No Sense

Silenced Pistols

Silenced weapons are one of the most important parts of any stealth game’s arsenal. However, the catch is that they don’t behave in a realistic fashion at all. You see, suppressors can help a fair deal with numbing gun sounds but it isn’t anywhere near in what you see in games like Splinter Cell where a guard two feet away wouldn’t hear the sounds of gunshots just because a suppressor is attached to your pistol or SMG. In real-life, suppressors can lower sounds to an extent where you might not need to wear ear protection while firing – but don’t expect them to work in a similar vein to their video game representations.
