Line 161:
* In the ''Mechwarrior'' series, armor is lighter on the rear of the battlemechs. Attacking from behind allows lighter vehicles to cripple even a [[Mighty Glacier]] with a little luck.
** In G-Nome, another(less popular) mech title, HAWCs are similarly poorly armored from behind. This doesn't hold true for all of them, as the shape and contour of many of the stranger vehicles mean there is no "behind."
* In ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'', the [[Downloadable Content|DLC]] character [[Classy Cat Burglar|Kasumi Goto]]'s signature ability is Shadow Strike. She cloaks herself, making her invisible to everyone (including you), runs up to an enemy, and stabs them, at which point she turns visible again. It's notable mainly for being one of only ''two'' melee abilities in the ''entire game'' (the other is [[Magic Knight|Vanguard]] Shepard's Charge).
** Playing as an Infiltrator class can also give you a damage bonus if you attack while invisible.
** Stealth kills are slated to return in ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'', with Shepard now able to ''pull enemies from behind cover'' (after sneaking into melee range) to stab them to death with the Omniblade.
