Wouldn't it be awesome if marine's had some stealthy items to purchase with P-Res?
<u><b>Personal Cloak</b></u>
A cloaking device a Marine can purchase from the protolab.
Cost ~15 Pres after upgrade.
Marine is still visible in Alien Thermal Vision.
Could cloak a Marine while standing still much like Camo on Alienside, or could be energy/timer based like a jetpack or a combination of the two. Not sure which would be better. I personally like the way Alien camo works, however I find since you are usually always moving as alien, it doesn't fit well. A cloak on a marine would help to infiltrate hives and snipe tech, or set up ambushes.
<u><b>Rifle Silencer</b></u>
Silent rounds from Assault Rifle
This would very situation. Pretty much only worth getting with a cloak.
Cost 5 Pres after upgrade
The reasoning behind these upgrades is to make better the current role of "ramboing" or suicide runs where you either sprint or jetpack past defenses to snipe off Alien tech structures. Harassing the enemy is always a useful tactic to comeback in a game or to tip a close game in your favor. However it find the current rambo technique a pretty stupid way of doing it. Some basic stealthy upgrades for Marines would improve the fun factor of the tactic. I don't think it would make the tactic any more viable than it already is, since it currently costs nothing to just try and run by defenses.

Stealth is for aliens, Marines are brutes.
