Gaming's Burning Questions!

WORDS BY: Dan Amrich & Paul Curthoys

QUESTION: In a stealth/infiltration situation, can a commando really hide in the shadows to avoid detection from a nearby enemy?

ANSWER: Turns out it’s “very easy” to become one with the darkness. “The key is to move slowly and steadily, not in quick dashes,” advises Marcinko. “Noise is certainly a factor that has advantages and consequences. Use ambient noise to mask movement and be aware of wild game that can alert others to your presence.”

 

QUESTION: Can a commando quickly snap an enemy's neck with his bare hands?

ANSWER: Yes, but Marcinko calls it “a tactic of last resort. Though it can be done, it can be noisy — either the act itself or the body dropping. Being that close to the enemy also invites its own vulnerabilities: Murphy’s Law can and will be present.”

The blue drink is totally from Think Geek

This really was a great article. Way to cover so many different possible questions. I look forward to similar slightly off-beat articles in the future.

I can't believe how much I enjoyed this article. Very cool and informative...well all but the "potion" section. What was that? Not very scientific or based in any concrete facts. "How 'bout some magic "herbal" cigarettes, they'll open your mind to the possibilities of the wonders hidden in a bag of Cheesy-poofs!" I think that section would have been better answered by a counter-point with a pharmacist and an Herbalist.
the only thing to add to the ventilation system is the unbelievable noise that would accompany a crawl through one and that every few feet that duct is gonna be punched through with the very sharp points of sheet metal screws.

The God'damned video was taken off of youtube!
could we have another link to the video on a different site?
