Video games often have crouch and crawl for stealth but not the much more commonly used tiptoeing

  The older I get the harder it is for me to understand why crouching is supposed to be quieter than walking.

  If I was crouching you’d hear my groans and my joints crack and pop from another room.

    I like how gta v did the like hunched over sleuth walk instead of crouching because agreed, I would make it ten feet with out groaning or falling over

    In purely game terms, I think it’s just visual shorthand for walking gingerly. Because actually stepping carefully and quietly depends on a lot of factors (surface texture, surrounding environment, footwear, wind conditions, etc) and would be a bitch to fully animate for every permutation.

      Oh absolutely. It only makes sense to map both of those “sometimes” actions to a single button, but it’s still fun to laugh at.

    My sister once commented that the crouch walking was the unrealistic part of Last of Us

    And somehow crawling is silent mode.

    and the ‘game’ forces you to drop half your carried inventory as well as whatever was equipped in either hand when you do try to get back up.

  When you tiptoe, everyone will hear the piccolo.

  In CSGO you hold shift to walk and that silences your movement. I think most fps has this

    Most FPS games have holding shift bound to sprinting, which makes movement much louder.

  Ah, reminds me of Little Big Adventure. The gameplay emphasizes choosing the correct movement mode. I don’t remember them all, but one of them was “discreet” which was basically tiptoe-mode.

  Tarkov sort of has it. You can slow down and walk quieter.

  Sheep dog ‘n’ wolf is a PS1 stealth game based on Ralph the wolf, Wile E Coyote’s cousin. And guess what!

  I think rainbow six: siege lets you hold alt for slow walking! If I remember correctly though, nobody does this and the pros make fun of you for using it

  Fun times!
