Hey thanks for the quick reply! Very reassuring to know. And thanks for the strategy! I'll be using that one myself now! Upon further reflection, I think it likely that the web of intrigue people do not respawn. No hard evidence as yet, as I'm basing this on the fact that there's a New Game + (thank Murphy) so one can always go back through the game and have a second (or third, if necessary) chance at this stuff. Granted, I dunno. I've not seen any come back, although I may not be realizing it. In all honesty, I think you're totally correct, though.
Also, what's this silliness about getting a Hadouken Power? I've seen this on a couple of the GameFAQs and GameSpot boards. I reckon this is classic Trolling nonsense, but if'n there were... well there is a Shoryuken for all intents and purposes, so who knows.
P.S: Murphy is the Primary Prophet of the God(-s,-ess,-esses) of Perversity. Best known for his Rules, Guidelines, and Recommendations in the form of Murphy's Law, one of the basic Tenets of which is "Anything that CAN go wrong, will. Without fail. Especially if you in any way discount it's likelihood, thereby making it a Certainty."
Thanks again!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am always so very bored....
Hey, thanks for all the responses! Yeah, I JUST noticed the whole "Come back later, they respawn" message when they die! Silly little me... so, about this Hadouken business... HOW?! Been fiddling with the button combo's, haven't got it yet... What do the X + B buttons do on the 360?
EDIT: Nevermind, for whatever reason, it never occured to me to do LMB + E on the ground... stupidstupidstupid... and yet so damn COOL! Sure, not some big-ass FIREBALL made of spiritual energy, but a wide-ish range shockwave will do QUITE nicely! Note: does NOT do **** to TANKS. Learned THAT the hard way! This + SHOOOOORRRRRRYUKEN! = pwnzor. (hell, Shoryuken + Air Combo did that on its own!) Great stuff! Thanks, all!
One time I was about to sneak up on one and consume him when citizens started running away because of some regular infected chasing after them. The guy jumped out into the street was slammed into a car. I laughed, but I also cried because I would have to wait...
So yes I hope they respawn.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- "And Dethalias said to the people of the low plains, 'Seek not the wickedness amongst your neighbors lest it find purchase in your own house.'"
Heck, just about everything else respawns in this game. Part of the fun of the game is just casually destroying US military assets in very large quantities, only for the game to add up the costs after each mission.
Here's how I do it without alerting the entire inside of the base to my presence:
Unlock the Stealth Consume ability (I play on a PC, so F, wait for it to prompt, then E).
Consume the commander outside.
Enter the base...as the commander, whenever you bump into someone, you get saluted (if you're not a commander when you bump into someone, you get yelled at and pushed back).
Normally, the WOI guy has two troopers next to him...if you stand directly in front of the WOI guy, facing him, and then start walking (not regular run, not sprint, but Walk, so Ctrl+movement) into him, you can steer him like a cattle toward a little pocket of space that's behind him (to the back-right of him, your front-left). Get him back into that corner and he's out of the line of sight of anyone, and you can stealth consume him.
There's another way, too: if you've unlocked the Patsy ability (TAB to target, F, get close, then LMB) and are patient, you can patsy a few of the troopers around the WOI guy so he's unguarded, you just have to wait for the Patsy ability to regenerate between targets.
Then you can freely walk around and stealth consume the other three guys in the base. You get some bonus EP for stealth consuming all four of the targets in a base. I haven't done the math yet, but I think it's more than if you kill everyone in the base/evade the alert in the base (I think you get 5-10 EP per soldier, and there's usually no more than 85 soldiers inside a base, versus 75,000 EP for stealth consuming the four targets and leaving without killing anyone else).
guess what?? this game really have a hadouken power
