Hope the multiplayer returns to its badass roots. Looks good so far.

[Fignuts]

Yeah thought this game was dead for a while, but that looks awesome. I only played thrugh the first one, but I do have Chaos Theory.

[Disturbed316]

Never liked the Splinter Cell series, but am seriously tempted by this, looks great.

[RP]

I've seen a couple videos on this and it looks fucking awesome.

[Fignuts]

k gonna start haos theory today, i think.

how is double agent btw?

[Kalyx triaD]

Only ever played the multiplayer (which is weaker than Chaos Theory's). I heard it was nice.

[Funky Fly]

Never been a fan of the stealth type games, but this one's got me interested.

[DAMN iNATOR]

It's alright. I actually got stuck on the part where in the 2nd JBA HQ assignment when the time's up and you're supposed to meet with Emile and Erica and their lackeys in the JBA HQ conference room, you have to pick an option from your wrist device of whether to blow a ship with 1,000s of passengers on it (which I didn't know, but it is in instant loss in all trust from the NSA), or some neutral option, forgot what it is, or the one you're SUPPOSED to pick, pass the buck and Blame Erica for what happened. But, yeah, Conviction looks awesome so far.

[Kalyx triaD]

Co-op trailer is out somewhere. Looks nice. Don't think there will be adversarial modes anymore...

Isn't this one also supposed to be not as dependent on stealth also? I thought I heard or read somewhere that it's more of a mix of stealth and action with more freedom to choose if you acted covertly or overtly and you could kinda just toggle back and forth?

I also believe I heard mention of no more Lambert. Good riddance.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah you have freedom to approach missions as you wish, Fisher's mostly on his own now.

[ClockShot]

Anyone know who's doing the voice for Sam Fisher? I heard Mike Ironside was out due to money issues.

[Kalyx triaD]

What? A video showed him doing new voice overs, of course he's in.

[ClockShot]

Ubisoft pushed this back to April 2010.

:foc:

[Extreme Angle]

This game looks beast.
Seeing as i've never given Splinter Cell a chance, I decided to the first 3 games from Goozex for 100 points each.
Just waiting for the 3rd one to become available, but untill then I have the first 2 to mess with :)

[Kalyx triaD]

April '10 isn't bad.

Though I'll miss the awesome Spies vs Mercs (especially the ultimate version found in Chaos Theory), I think these modes will most certainly suffice.

[Requiem]

Yeah, have been giddy with excitement over this game. Waiting for this and Red Dead Redemption.

Will miss Spies vs Mercs, but there are plenty of things to do and the co-op (and Persistent Elite Creations specifically) seems freaking sweeeeeet. Like a better, stealthier Army of Two.

[Kalyx triaD]

PEC needs to be in all Tom Clancy games. Love knowing everything I do means something.

[Requiem]

Going to play the shit out of this game. I look forward to co-oping it up at some point with you Kalyx.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm the Russian guy.

[Kalyx triaD]

Demo this week, bitches.

[Requiem]

want now

[The Destroyer]

Demo is up and is taking forever to download. :(

[Disturbed316]

Downloaded earlier on, is pretty decent but very short.

[Funky Fly]

Demo's out? Sweet. I usually hate stealthy type games (especially the MGS series, yeah fuck you) , but something about this game has me hyped.

[Requiem]

Yeah, EXTREMELY short demo. Controls took a little adjusting to, but it was fun. Really want the actual game though already.

[Kalyx triaD]

Cool demo, felt like a badass. Flash grenade doesn't work as well as it should but whatever.

[ClockShot]

Reviews are coming out.

Game Informer - 9/10
IGN.com - 9.3/10
EDGE Magazine - 8/10

Biggest gripes I'm hearing/reading is that they can do without the black and white color the screen turns when you are in stealth. REALLY short single player, but Deniable Ops and Co-op can make up for it. And a level that has no reason to be in the game.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Didn't realize this was due out so soon, thought it was supposed to drop later in the month. I'm not complaining, though. Not by a long shot.

Anyway, yeah...here's the IGN.com Video Review:

I was wondering what the black and white color scheme was supposed to mean since the demo doesn't explain it and it seemed to occur at random spots.

Got too used to using the actual light/dark meter from past splinter cell games (never played Double Agent).

[Purgatory]

they did away with the light/dark meter and replaced it with the black&white change when your totally hidden. They system works so much better than the old meter.

[Kalyx triaD]

=/=

[ClockShot]

Anybody go get this at midnight?

[Disturbed316]

Ended up getting this after changing my mind numerous times, liking what I've played so far.

[6-String King]

Fucking love this game so far

[The Destroyer]

I'm quite enjoying it so far, even if I always seem to screw up Deniable Ops at the last minute.

[Disturbed316]

Finished the story today, thought it was decent enough. Wanna jump into co-op now but will probably get lots of quiters as my mic is fucked and you kind of need communication on this one.

[ClockShot]

Little over half way through story mode. Love everything about it so far.

Only thing I hate/miss is the goggles. I hate this new fangled sonar you're using. Give me my heat/night vision/electric current combo any day.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Gotta say, Deniable Ops blew me away when I tried it for the first time last night. Quite addicting and time consuming.

[Requiem]

Played some vs and coop with Alvarado last night. Pretty fun, albeit slightly laggy. I out-meleed him every single time.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It's free with an annual subscriptioon to FHM at the moment, which is only £25.

Don't really read FHM but it was too fine a deal.

[Fignuts]

So who all got this? Don't really want to play co-op with randoms.

[Kalyx triaD]

Khuntry got it. I like the 'terrorist hunt' in this.

[G]

yeah hunter is pretty cool. i had a hard time going through it, because my co op partner went in guns blazing every time. had to do it by myself to play it right.

[Kalyx triaD]

OMG me and Khuntry were playing with a guy who just has to shoot the lights like the enemies don't hear that. "10 enemies added"

Fuck.

[Requiem]

Only rented/returned it already, but it was fun. Had it for like 2 weeks. Beat all Hunters on realistic, a couple last stands, a couple infiltration (DLC gametype), all co-op on realistic..

Was a fun game, but I'm happy it came out before RDR.
