Pertaining to stealth, I'd like to the option to be 100% ghost in/out of missions if done right and it's a viable option. The gear and cyber-ware to allow for advanced stealth tactics aside from hiding behind walls.
In addition to the old school stealth options, the gear the player uses and how to prepare for the missions should take priority over the players actual skill. Passive stealth (staying quiet, hiding out of sight) should be an option for almost any player, stealth build or not, as it's situational. The gear, tech, cyber-ware, companion options like Flathead spider bot, should be where stealth takes form and being able to mix, match and combined different variations will all depend on the player.
Stealth options.
-Line of sight. Light & dark system.
-Sound based. Proximity method.
-Invisibility optic camo tech from sight/thermal/etc. Not a full proof method, should be riskier, not easier.
-Hacking Surveillance/networks/viruses
-Using companions (Flathead/drones) for recon and areas inaccessible to player.
-Disguise yourself as the enemy, behind enemy lines.
-Weapons, lethal/non-lethal, silenced, melee CQC, quiet methods.
-Hardware, grapple, mantis blade, environmental traversal.
-Tech to counter sight, sound, detection.
-Tech for environmental observation. Night vision, thermal, enemy traffic, heat & electrical signatures & footprints, see thought walls etc...
-Scenarios that divert attention away from player path.
Expect a counter to every stealth option used at some point, given the variety of options to the player, there is no one way to use stealth, but many ways to do it right. Overall stealth should be the hard mode method, more time consuming and slower paced but more rewarding. Majority of stealth options in games is the easy route, it should be the opposite in 2077 and require preparation for each mission. Something the player needs to consider long term within missions entirety, not simply moment to moment encounters.
