I am trying to think of when "crouch" became the usual pose for stealthy movement. In Thief 2 and Deus Ex, both released in 2000, one moved quietly by walking slowly. By Deus Ex: Human Revolution, released 2011, a player crouched to move quietly. (I always thought that this was strange as it is actually harder to be silent while duck-walking.)
Is there any particular popular game that came out in the 2000s that made crouching=stealth?
