Stealth mode

[w1lg5r 70]

A simple idea, you would hold on to a key (like you would shift, to go slow) and your character would try to move or do whatever he is doing with less noise.  He would do the action slower and use more energy (use up food and drink quicker). Say you are reloading, you would carefully slide out the mag etc making slightly less noise. If you are walking you would make less noise and be slower.

Why would doing something slower consume more energy?

[w1lg5r 70]

well trying to run and not make noise is harder than running normally. Maybe you're right but i think it would help balance.

Or at least lower volume when walking (in any position) slightly or so as compromise.

[w1lg5r 70]

yeah, good idea

If you wanna do this, I think the way around would be to have an "x" "z" between crouch/stand and prone/stand like arma3. Then instead of having "c" as combat pace (which is useless) and have it be "silent pace" mode. And yeah, I think it would be fair for it to eat up more stamina since it is actually more physically strenuous to sneak around than it is to just walk.
