In Star Citizen, details about the shooter part of the game and Star Marine have been revealed. It is supposed to be deadlier than Call of Duty, focusing on tactics and stealth.
In a “10 for the Chairman” video, Chris Roberts answered fan questions. One of them led him to talk about the FPS Star Marine. Can one sneak around?, a fan wanted to know.
Roberts answered, Star Marine is “more lethal” than the Call of Duty series and emphasizes tactics. Therefore, you will be able to sneak around. Moreover, players are planned to be given options and gadgets to approach opponents not just head-on and with guns blazing. For example, there will be a hologram gadget that can deceive enemies by projecting your own hologram somewhere. They also plan to introduce ventilation shafts so players can flank enemies.
The focus is on tactical approach; it will not be pure “Run and Gun.”
