Crouch-walking is the de-facto method of sneaking and stealth in games. You crouch and then walk to reduce footstep sound or some logic like that.

I tried this against several people (admittedly drunk at times) and it fails. However, by just walking uprite or at a 45 degree angle while diligently minding my stepping speed, I had more success. Worked since childhood.

Maybe it was just the alcohol, but the manner of the crouch-walking bodily positioning to sneak up to people seems cumbersome and problematic. I understand the lower-profile advantage. My theory is by lowering the butt elevation significantly, the ability to reduce footstep noise is hampered since it's harder to carefully shift weight leg to leg while moving.

You're drunk right now, aren't you.

No

That's right. You keep crawlin', baby.

Crouch-walking is for people who can't spy-crab.

You're exactly right, it doesn't make any ****ing sense...I guess the logic is that since you're unable to move as fast, you will also be more silent due to the slower speed. But still, it doesn't make any ****ing sense!

Crouch-walking is the only way to walk on top of buildings over 40 stories tall.

I would imagine in terms of sneaking in a situation where crouching is used, it is also important that they not SEE you. ...Yeah, i cant really think of any real situations where crouching in order to remain undetected would be the preferred method unless your only cover is like a row of shrubbery or something. (or obviously if the entire purpose is to not be seen rather than not heard.

By crouching like that, its definitely harder to catch a fart before the sound off!

Crouch walking only works if your center of mass is the right distance from the ground. Being Korean, your center of mass is lower anyway so you get the same effect by simply leaning.

If Geb wanted to do it he'd be crawling on his arse.

ECHOMAN is Korean?????

he's a mudblood

i misread this as crotch walking at first

i don't know what the means but it sounds RACIST

it works better when it's dark out by helping to reduce your silhouette, in broad daylight...good luck with that unless you have cover or concealment.

It's just a videogame mechanic don't think too hard.

I bet I can hurl haggis better than you.



You're a ****ing gameplay mechanic.

oh hey ECHOMAN in some games waving a knife around makes you run faster maybe you should give that one a try too

That's dangerous, Tracer.

yeah well why don't you make a newspost about it

Are you still upset about the news post? I guessed your lifespan dates.

Fine, I'll correct it. What year were you born and when will you be dead?

That newspost creeps me out, I really thought Tracer had died for real.

After yelling "WHY DO WE HURT THE ONES WE LOVE!?" at the heavens a couple of times, I read the dates and felt ECHOWNED. Oy.

Probably. My stomach is readily adapted to exotic Scottish cuisine.
