What is the deal with Mike Maple???
You meet him in one of the early levels in a bathroom. He's like a janitor type guy and says something about not having time to talk and he hears some baddies coming. Jack kind of glosses over him as if it's nothing out the ordinary.
However he later reappears I believe the first time you go to Jack's office and are returning to your car, seen under the intersection. After a few seconds he disappears like a magician into smoke. As of now there is one post on this sub about it with about 3 comments, and this is the only instance of discussing his reappearance I've seen on reddit AND ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET.
However he appears again in one of the road houses behind damage/hole in the wall, and he's completely stationary. I just encountered him for a split second in a locked room in the Nuthouse level and he again disappeared. I've seen him other times too. He's like the guy who randomly appears in the Half Life games where it's really easy to miss.
Anyone else seen him? Is there any discussion about this?
EDIT: For anyone unaware, Jack's first meeting with Mike Maple is at 18:40 in this random youtubers walkthrough video. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edeuEuiCvN8
