Not really. Right now they're detecting people from dozens of meters away when even just crouch walking, which is just plain silly. Running, crouching or upright, will bring a whole town down upon you. It's not fun, it's destroyed the entire stealth aspect of the game. Make them any more dangerous and we may as well be up against super-robots instead of zombies.

I agree, it's ridiculous right now. I mean, crouch walking is basically like normal running used to be, while crouch RUNNING is pretty much instant detection from any corner of any town. And I pity anyone who decides to run. It's like donning a neon green jacket covered in strobes lights and sirens and then moonwalking. You also brought a megaphone and are singing "I'm Sexy and I Know It" directly into it. Edit: Syndikos, getting spotted while crouching is fine. It happened a lot in previous updates. But now, it is out of control. It was almost spot-on previously - crouch walking was safe as long as you were a good dozen meters or so from a zombie who wasn't looking at you and you had a good bit of grass. It was a nice balance, and did not end up too forgiving or too hard. IF you made a mistake, you were caught, but if you didn't, you SHOULD be fine. Now, if you aren't constantly glued to the ground you're guaranteed to be screwed, and even then the prone is very nerfed and it's by no means impossible to be spotted like that as well. Any hope of stealth is pretty much non-existent.
