It's fun when you're in a tunnel or something and you see the shimmer of a SBH run by you, to pretend not to see them. Then once your past them, quickly turn around and kill them. This happened alot last night on "Field". It's pretty funny, because sometimes they'll stop and wait to see if you've seen them. They don't want to uncloak unless they really have to. I'll bet that a few of the SBH I killed last night had beacons intended for our barracks or refinery.

Lol on one map (with the looong tunnel network and boxes/barrels near base entrance?) a SBH ran in, and for several minutes we ran in and out of the boxes until he finally died. He never fired once, even though the stealth was poor because he kept getting hit!

its funny when u see a sbh, (like you sed above) u r gorking at them and they r gorking back, an u stare for a few seconds then sometimes they try to run off, lol, i alway keep them worried like this, coz when u move u shimmer more, so they dont want to get revealed and shoot coz tere guns are way to noisy. when i am a SBH i get my pistol out and use that, its much quieter, and then u can sneak up on ppl and give them head shots and noone hears where its from, and the laser gun is highly visable aswell!

try following them, on island i saw one but didnt fire, i walked around barely keeping him in veiw like i was patroling, when he stopped at refinery there where 3 other SBH's there, they were standing there waiting for me to get out of range, i just blasted them all with the volt gun from behind and iced off 3 SBH's who had beacons.

I love defending the GDI PP on walls_flying. SBHs will tend to try and nuke the plant from above, and all I do is just let them pass me and let them go up the ramp, then I wait a few sec's, then charge up their as they set the nuke, and remote C4 them.
Hotwire, always! Don't try to own my PP or I will own j00! -Walls_Flying

Only problem is that if you run past them, letting them think they have gotten away is most often a stealth will walk/run backwards. Letting him/her have time to change directions or aim at you head. So whenever possible start shotting right away its best to damage a stealth than lose the oportunity of getting him/her at all. Also any stealth that would knowingly run past you in a tunnel with a beacon close enough for you to detect him/her deserves to die.

WhenI am a SBH, I know the minimum safe distance to not being seen, and when some one passes me, or I pass them, beyond that point, I run like heck.

My basic rule of thumb when you are a black hand in the tunnels. Crouch and walk, or just walk (hold the shift key). You will shimmer less and be less noticeable. This also works out in the open when you are around Patches and Mobius'.

The best is when you see a SBH and fire befor you run past them and they run the other way trying to hide once more. I've killed several SBH with the common machine gunner.
Doesn't everyone know that when a bullet hits a stealth it shimmers giving away their position?
