However, aside from one small section of the first mission, the game never requires you to sneak around. A completely superfluous prone stance, an unnecessary option for picking up dead bodies, and the enemies' ability to see you even if you're lying in tall grass all contribute to the half-finished feeling of the stealth mechanic. Once you've successfully snuck up on him, you can decide to never move again and stay hidden forever-or you can decide to kill him, at which point it's time to stop sneaking and start shooting. Generally, you can sneak up on the first enemy in a level.

It appears that the developers planned to incorporate some sneaking elements into Soldier of Fortune II and then somewhere along the line gave up-but then never managed to completely remove the essentially nonfunctioning stealth features. If you skip the plot, you'll miss this part and probably just go in shooting, which is actually the only practical way to approach the game. Both the training and the early cutscenes imply that you're going to need to resort to stealth to successfully navigate the first mission.
