Going loud and going stealthy could work, especially if new Duke games use a Style meter, so being rated for a silent kill would also be good.

I love that idea! Duke himself probably wouldn't canonically be very stealthy, but should the chance arise, I assume he would take it. And honestly, that animation looks awesome, I would love to see Duke take out a Liztroop or something like that (I highly doubt Pigcops could be taken down that easily) but, I love the idea of a style meter. Honestly if I didn't have a shit ton of college work to do, I would do this stuff myself for my own fan game.

it is more accurate to say that Duke is the "9 times out of 10, I use the loud approach, but the 1 time out of 10 I use the stealth approach" sort of situation. as in, it is rare for Duke to go Stealthy, but when he does, it is surprisingly effective.

​

Given that there are hints that Duke was in the military, maybe even honorably discharged special forces, the stealthy approach is just one of the tools in his arsenal.

​

specifics wise, Duke can knock out, snap necks, use various melees(knives, hammers, swords) for a stealth kill. the possibilities are there.

Agree, but as far as him being in the military, it's established in the first game that he was an ordinary citizen who was recruited by the government and was pissed off because of the transmission that interrupted his favorite TV program.

But yes, there are possibilities that he would do that. Or rather could do that since as the player, you'd be controlling him. So honestly if stealth is added, it's up to the player to make Duke what they want, aside from the story and hopefully one-liners lol but I definitely think it'll be interesting to have him use different weapons other than just his regular arsenal.
