Watch dogs 2 is such a hidden gem of the open world. The way they implemented online play where you could hack another player, take a player out, or just plain old co-op. Only gripe was you where unable to do missions coop.
@@SerPodrick Plain old co-op, would be just like GTA IV, you join a session with friend and you can play with your friends but unable to do anything you other then that.
@@SerPodrickHe meant you can't do co-op in the main story missions or side missions. There are a bunch of little stand alone co-op missions though. And I totally agree with him that WD2 is awesome. All they had to do for Watch Dogs 3 was make a better version of 2 set in London, but instead they made shitty ass WD Legion.
I remember playing Thief on a PC that could finally run it. Man i was 16 and let me tell you the overwhelming feeling of joy i got was one that i will probably never get from a video game again, i mean i played it slow and savored every moment. It was all epic to me, i will never forget Thief and Thief 2 such nostalgia. 🤩
Always happy to see Thief get a mention, and the bank absolutely is one of the best stealth missions ever! Also super happy to see Desperados make the list too. Stealth Tactical games do not get enough love, and it's sad that we lost Mimimi games, possibly the best company ever for this genre.
I'll never forget the absolute terror and trepidation that was the original Thief. Playing it in the dark as a kid would actually leave me so stressed but also hyped to delve further and further into every mission. Good times😂
disqualified from this list: any game where you fire an unsuppressed firearm in the same room as enemy NPCs and they say "what was that--probably nothing"
Why? By saying that you make splinter cell conviction sound invalid which was one of my favorite stealth games. If I throw a frag at five enemies who can't see me and they all die it is still stealth dude!
Number 10: Sniper Elite 5, Sniper Academy Mission Number 9: Modern Warfare 2, Cliff Hanger Number 8: Dishonored 2, The Dust District Number 7: Watchdogs 2, Hack The World Number 6: Assassins Creed, Rogues By Invitation Only Number 5: Splinter Cell Chaos Theories, Displace Number 4: Siren, Day 2: 1500 hours Number 3: Desperados 3, The Devils Canyon Number 2: Their 2, The Metal Age Number 1: Hitman 2, The Finish Line
I love it whenever Thief gets a mention! I'd like to see a Wolfenstein level in Part 4. While they aren't pure stealth games, the mechanics and UI really lend themselves well to sneaky gameplay.
10. Sniper Elite 5 - spy academy mission 9. COD MW2 - cliffhanger 8. Dishonored 2 - dust district 7. Watch Dogs 2 - hack the world 6. AC Rogue - by invitation only 5. Splinter Cell Chaos Theory - displace 4. Siren, Harumi Yomoda - day 2 15: 00 3. Desperados 3 - devils canyon 2. Thief 2 - first city bank and trust 1. Hitman 2 - the finish line 0. A lot of us are sick of yall not putting in the titles. 😒 Figured id contribute titles at least once like some of the other 🐐s!
Thief 2 - Casing the Joint - A mission where you must look through a castle without killing or so much as even subduing anyone, and of course you can't be seen (Hardest difficulty is the ONLY way to play the thief games. You're a Thief, not a murderer.) While Casing the joint you can also steal a bunch of stuff.
i like how you can speak about intricacies of stealth mechanics and how great the level design is and still show the least stealthy gameplay in most of the games with bunch of alarms and detections and shootings))
Falcon, I think part of what makes Cliffhanger so great is it slows you down, but in a way it doesn’t feel artificial, and then it speeds up to max COD-iness with the chase, that again, doesn’t feel artificial. It is the least normal COD mission style, but somehow feels the most COD
The "castle" from the first game really exists! It's called Mont-Saint-Michel and can be found in France. It's actually a church. Pretty interesting story behind it.
Thief 2 Metal Age had the City Watch mission on Expert, where Garrett cannot be detected by any enemy, nor may he knock-out any enemy when he places false evidence against Sheriff Truitt. Now, THAT is a stealth mission. I beat it by hacking in 9999 bottles of invisibility potion. LOL
Liking this at 9 just because of Cliffhanger! May be my favorite single mission in any video game ever. My taste in games have grown far from COD nowadays, but the feeling that mission gave me has stuck with me forever.
That series had another snowy mission... or was it just the lead-in to the one Falcon showed in this one? I remember creeping through the snowy woods and eventually reaching a base..
The speech’s that Sam has available in the Displace level are unforgettable. On the roof where he says that he is “Harry Tuttle” and the one where he describes the true reason for the fall of the Roman Empire make that level one of my favorites.
Has the Murder of Crows from Hitman: Blood Money been mentioned in this series?? Because that’s one of the best, most chaotic levels in the Hitman series and you are literally fighting for time, all the while assassinating multiple enemies and protecting someone. And oh yeah, it’s set during Mardi Gras in New Orleans, so an awesome setting and the PS2 being pushed to it’s limits.
Remembering the cod mission brings me happiness of a time when I actually tried hard on stealth missions I miss and love those old games in this Era btw ty for covering stuff like this ♥️
Don’t forget about the Splinter Cell Double Agent (OG Xbox Version) final mission in the snow on New York City’s snow covered rooftops and buildings. I’m not saying it’s better than displace or dishonored. But the atmosphere and what happens to Sams love interest and how it changes him is just memorable and emotion filled.
Ha..it's funny because for the last month I've been trying to remember what Splinter Cell Mission that was! :) Memories would randomly pop in my head and then I would spend a couple of hours trying to remember it lol. So THANK YOU very much for that Gameranx
Agent 47’s flamingo costume was the most hilarious thing I’d ever seen in a Hitman game, and I’ve played as a clown! Stealthy & dressed like a giant pink bird has to be one of the best missions I did! 😂😂😂
I am over the moon to see that you have included a mission from Assassin's Creed Rogue. Its one of my favorite AC games and Shay is my favorite character from the whole franchise. I love him so much that if he was real, I'd marry him ❤😅.
Love the sniper elite games.. I always try and full stealth each mission. I remember playing spy academy for the first time.. took me 3.5 hours to beat lol
I will say, if anyone is interested in learning more about siren (as this is probably only the second time I, personally, have seen it mentioned), tangomushi has a great longform video on the series where she goes in depth about its plot and lore!
While it's not exactly a stealth mission, I thought of the Medal of Honor: Allied Assault level where you're undercover trying to sabotage the U-529 submarine. So good and memorable after all this time.
So glad you included watch dogs 2. The humor in that game mostly misses but some of the missions and action pieces are so well done. Didn’t deserve most of the hate it got imo
For the Dishonored spot, I didn't even know that you COULD side with either of those factions in the stage. I always figured out the combination from resources in the mission for like a dozen playthroughs.
Now that all the great stealth missions are out of the way can we talk about all the game ruining stealth missions in otherwise not stealth games. Like the soldier camp in Witcher 2.
The icing on the cake in the MW2 Cliffhanger mission is the fact that, at the start of the game, you are side by side with your character from the previous game. "My commander is Soap?! Awesome! " Incredible story choice imo.
Not sure this qualifies for best stealth mission but Traditions of a Trade in Hitman: Contracts is one of the darkest atmospheres to ever grace the stealth genre
I'll do you one better. A full remake (not reboot) of the original Splinter Cell game. It's in development and even includes some members of the old team.
honestly, i''ve been watching them for years, these video are good to sleep to. i need a black screen. also having light sensitivity, it's a jumpscare everytimeeee
Honourable mention: the mission in Oblivion where you have to murder a house full of people for the Dark Brotherhood in a "whodunit" style. You can make all kinds of accidents happen, isolate people so that nobody suspects you're the murderer until the last person stands before you and they are like "Oh... it's been you all the time!". Hilarious and very sneaky.
Assassin's Creed black flag mission where you're supposed to infiltrate the assassin's island without killing anyone better be on this list. That mission drove me nuts as a teenager
Please do the most annoying stealth missions! There is literally a mission in AC: Black flag that made me stop playing the game. So sad, cause at the time it was my fav. The mission is one where you have to stealth around while following someone, it’s in some sort of swamp-ish area.
If this is on an earlier video my apologies I didn't rewatch all 3 stealth mission videos. But I don't think you mentioned it yet. What about the whole of act 3 in Metro Exodus. The one where you have to avoid all the grown up school children in the woods.
The stealth missions that test your nerves are in games that don't have stealth mechanics. There's a couple in Breath of the Wild, Dragon's Dogma has one etc. THESE are the ones that shred your nerves.
Happy Monday everyone.
Says no one
Appreciated. Backatcha. Great band.
@@alshaaransari2821 Are you ok today.
@paulnolan4971 nothing happy about a Monday friend
Thanks buddy. I know a TON of people celebrate Mondays, and I'm one of them because it's my first day off. Cheers! Have a great day!
Watch dogs 2 is such a hidden gem of the open world. The way they implemented online play where you could hack another player, take a player out, or just plain old co-op. Only gripe was you where unable to do missions coop.
I never played, but what's "plain old co-op" if there are also no "co-op missions"?
@@SerPodrick Plain old co-op, would be just like GTA IV, you join a session with friend and you can play with your friends but unable to do anything you other then that.
@@SerPodrick I would suggest giving the first and second game a try, they are both great games, just don't play three.
@@SerPodrickHe meant you can't do co-op in the main story missions or side missions. There are a bunch of little stand alone co-op missions though. And I totally agree with him that WD2 is awesome.

I definitely thought the title was about annoying stealth missions
I sure wasn't thinking "best" from the title lol
Same XD I came here to see falcon be frustrated about some stealth missions
Clickbait being Clickbait
@@MaboidatboiI wouldn’t consider it clickbait since people would watch it either way
@@icemanjr.5819this is absolutely clikbait. The title is incorrect and not accurate
Somewhat Damaged from Phantom Liberty deserves a spot in a future list
absolutely the most pants-crapping mission ive played in years
I love that mission but I think it's more on the horror side than stealth
Soooo good
I'll never forget the absolute terror and trepidation that was the original Thief. Playing it in the dark as a kid would actually leave me so stressed but also hyped to delve further and further into every mission. Good times😂
AC Rogue getting the respect it deserves makes me happy
"Want a stealth based mission game? You gotta put in a bank! I don't make the rules"
The Metal Gear Solid series:
Dishonored: "Hold my beer and Oakleys"
Desperados 3's final execution where you had to use everyone at the same time was really epic.
Such a fitting end to such a great game.

@@zairomolino4074 but what about the other people who saw the nuke miles away? Not so stealthy then.
@@danielmoung9098 no one to tell when there is no one TO tell lol
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is one of fav games
Number 10: Sniper Elite 5, Sniper Academy Mission

Number 8: Dishonored 2, The Dust District
Number 7: Watchdogs 2, Hack The World
Number 6: Assassins Creed, Rogues By Invitation Only

Splinter Cell.... Still the greatest stealth series we've ever had.. Please come back to us.
By the title "TRULY TEST YOUR NERVES" I was expecting the WORST stealth missions, not the best. All good, still entertaining.
Not sure how I missed your other lists! I'll just have to treat them like the prequels.
Great video as always!
I love it whenever Thief gets a mention! I'd like to see a Wolfenstein level in Part 4. While they aren't pure stealth games, the mechanics and UI really lend themselves well to sneaky gameplay.

0. A lot of us are sick of yall not putting in the titles. 😒 Figured id contribute titles at least once like some of the other 🐐s!
Not all heroes wear capes 👍🏿
Hey bro you drop this 👑
I appreciate you, friend
I see you are man of culture as well.
Why is there such a big push to say what games are on the list? Do you not watch the video for what Gameranx puts out?
Styx, both games are stealth masterpieces.
I miss the Tenchu Nina games. Great stealth
Glad to see Desperados 3 getting a mention. Such an underrated game.
Thief 2 - Casing the Joint - A mission where you must look through a castle without killing or so much as even subduing anyone, and of course you can't be seen (Hardest difficulty is the ONLY way to play the thief games. You're a Thief, not a murderer.) While Casing the joint you can also steal a bunch of stuff.
Dude some of my favorites stealth games are Hitman trilogy, MGSV, Alien: Isolation, Dishonored 2, and Prey!
Prey is half stealth since you have limited room and no stealth takedown option while alien isolation is more of an outlast but with combat
i like how you can speak about intricacies of stealth mechanics and how great the level design is and still show the least stealthy gameplay in most of the games with bunch of alarms and detections and shootings))
Falcon, I think part of what makes Cliffhanger so great is it slows you down, but in a way it doesn’t feel artificial, and then it speeds up to max COD-iness with the chase, that again, doesn’t feel artificial. It is the least normal COD mission style, but somehow feels the most COD
Always look forward to Monday morning Falcon. Have a great week everyone!
You too prettysharty 🙃
Man the Snipe Elite series is so close to being perfect to me.
I've been wanting a Vietnam era game.
The "castle" from the first game really exists! It's called Mont-Saint-Michel and can be found in France. It's actually a church. Pretty interesting story behind it.
Thief ... the GOAT......
Thief 2 Metal Age had the City Watch mission on Expert, where Garrett cannot be detected by any enemy, nor may he knock-out any enemy when he places false evidence against Sheriff Truitt. Now, THAT is a stealth mission. I beat it by hacking in 9999 bottles of invisibility potion. LOL

I love the content from this channel. Yall been killing it for years. Keep it up falcon
Really bringing a nostalgic tear to my eye with cliffhanger from mw2 🥲
Bro, Spy Academy is my absolute favorite mission out of all Sniper Elite games that I have played 🔥🔥🔥
Can't wait for the new sly Cooper and splinter cell 🔥🔥
I knew this wouldn't make it here but Screwball's stealth challenges from Marvel's Spider-Man had me raging.
Bro right 😅
They had me raging too, but not because they wer challenging in a good way. Nah, nah, F**k those missions!!!!
Remembering the cod mission brings me happiness of a time when I actually tried hard on stealth missions I miss and love those old games in this Era btw ty for covering stuff like this ♥️
Yeah that watchdogs 2 Google mission is really really good... I took my time to explore and elaborate a plan and felt like Hitman in a good way
Don’t forget about the Splinter Cell Double Agent (OG Xbox Version) final mission in the snow on New York City’s snow covered rooftops and buildings.

If you can’t be wealthy, at least you can be stealthy
AN ASSASSIN'S CREED ROGUE MENTION???? WHAT A DAY
Agent 47’s flamingo costume was the most hilarious thing I’d ever seen in a Hitman game, and I’ve played as a clown! Stealthy & dressed like a giant pink bird has to be one of the best missions I did! 😂😂😂
As a gamer that works a lot , this video is like dipping in a hot tub after a long day 😅😮💨

The Hitman WoA trilogy is absolutely stacked with... everything. So. Much. Good.
I hope they make 100 Sniper Elite games. I can play those forever and ever and ever.
8 million babyy 🎉
Splinter Cell Monday to all! ❤
While it's not exactly a stealth mission, I thought of the Medal of Honor: Allied Assault level where you're undercover trying to sabotage the U-529 submarine. So good and memorable after all this time.
I love Watch Dogs 2. Arguably my fav game of all time
fr its really underrated since its a ubisoft game
Y’all should do a video on dope video game characters names 😊
Somewhat Damaged from Cyberpunk 2077? It has a horror ambiance and gets your heart pounding. Its so good.
Planting a bug in Sleeping Dogs in the restaurant with a drifty controller will DEFINETLY test your nerves.
Watch Dogs 2 is such a gem 💎
I love how every clip you show is the most unstealthy way of doing the mission lol
I like u how managed to show the absolute worst stealth gameplay for every single game u mentioned
My thoughts exactly
Sniper Elite 5 was amazing and I think it is extremely underrated
Should be a Prisoner of War mission by now. Maybe not a specific mission but the game deserves a mention
So glad you included watch dogs 2. The humor in that game mostly misses but some of the missions and action pieces are so well done. Didn’t deserve most of the hate it got imo
The game is fun but it definitely deserved alot of the hate it got
@@madnessman1520 Most love it. Now Legion, that's the one most hate.
For the Dishonored spot, I didn't even know that you COULD side with either of those factions in the stage. I always figured out the combination from resources in the mission for like a dozen playthroughs.
Now that all the great stealth missions are out of the way can we talk about all the game ruining stealth missions in otherwise not stealth games. Like the soldier camp in Witcher 2.
Bull Goat Talisman, gl ❤
Stealth games hold a special place in my heart. 🥹
Finish Line in Hitman2 is probably my favourite Hitman map… you can play it so many times and find something new.
Been playing thru shadows tactics has some great level design and some very challenging missions.
The icing on the cake in the MW2 Cliffhanger mission is the fact that, at the start of the game, you are side by side with your character from the previous game. "My commander is Soap?! Awesome! "
Incredible story choice imo.
Cliffhanger is my favorite cod mission of all time
Not sure this qualifies for best stealth mission but Traditions of a Trade in Hitman: Contracts is one of the darkest atmospheres to ever grace the stealth genre
Ghost Recon: Wildlands, that Splinter Cell Mission was a Gem
Dang a random Siren inclusion? just started playing it yesterday again for the first time in years lol
Commandos 2: Men of Courage, Castle Colditz should be on a list like that. Actually all Commandos 2 missions were great stealth missions.
Almost to 8 mill!! Woo!!
What I wouldn't give for a splinter cell remaster
I'll do you one better. A full remake (not reboot) of the original Splinter Cell game. It's in development and even includes some members of the old team.
@takoshihitsamaru4675 that sounds great, don't get my hopes up! 🤣
@@in4mus85 You and me, both, man. Honestly, I liked Blacklist, wasn't perfect, but it was solid and did a lot right.
#1 shoulda been ‘the entire MGS1’
i love how every single one of these clips includes a moment where you're like f*ck stealth and just start shooting
Siren is a Masterpiece
assassins creed rogue was so good
Honestly the first Watch Dog also has very good stealth missions too if you just use guns with silencer.
The number screens need to be black.
honestly, i''ve been watching them for years, these video are good to sleep to. i need a black screen. also having light sensitivity, it's a jumpscare everytimeeee

I actually solved the puzzle instead of siding with anyone! Took me like an hour
If you've never played either Dishonored games.....do it
Old commandos games could be here also :)
I was getting worried you're not gonna put hitman in top 10 stealth missions, that would've been something
Do the enemies on Sniper Elite 5 still go on a continuous loop of going on/off Alert? A.i was really broken last time i played.
@@PhaRoaH87 shut up bozo

Nothing worse than a stealth mission in a game without proper stealth mechanics.
