100% you can. I used to just snipe entire bases when I played that game.
I definitely did a stealthy playthrough, I can’t say if that influenced the amount of enemies or their aggression levels in doing so. My guess would be no, as most enemies turn idle if you’re undetected for long enough. However, the game does force you to play aggressive and out in the open in some (fixed) instances, which makes a full stealth playthrough impossible. Not the best game to play in stealth, but definitely fun enough, especially with a bow or sniper rifle. In some instances it even really got OP, wiping out complete outposts while in stealth. Still fun though. The devs did definitely take stealth seriously in making the game.
Yeah, bases and camps can be stealthed, but open world, less so. Hard to not get detected when just driving to the next objective.
Far Cry is definitely more geared toward frenetic gameplay where you exit and enter stealth multiple times. Enemies rely on a line of sight system with others alerting to your last known location. Camps also have alarm boxes for reinforcements that can be disabled via stealth.
This reminds me of when I worked in a video game store and people night Metal Gear Solid and tried to play it as an FPS.
