GAMEPLAY FEATURES and DESIGN
DESIGN INTENT
The Stealth Commando is the principal specialist and long range engagement unit of the enemy forces.
They can are deployed as sideline enforcement and operate with equal efficiency on both high and low ground.
The intent behind their design is to provide complimentary fire to the frontline troops and extend their firing reach and firing sight, while also present the player with a different type of threat, one that is not coming to kill the player directly and in the open, but instead one that needs to be hunted down and out of cover to be dealth with.

AI BEHAVIOUR
Stealth Commandos wander the environment or the close proximity of the location where they are holding.
Once the player is spotted, they will fire at the player and then reposition themselves, always attacking the player from a different position and a different angle.
Stealth Commandos will only close the gap with the player for short distances and as long as the player is visible, but never indulging a chase.
Once they lose sight of the player, they will return to actively reposition themselves.
