The SC games have always been great. I think they dropped the ball a bit with Double Agent. Some good ideas in it, but disallowing you from running and crouching in sections of the game made it really tedious. The multiplayer was still a lot of fun though. Great fun with your friends, just playing with bots and pulling them out of windows or breaking their necks!

This one really needs to innovate again, or at least go back to what made Pandora Tomorrow or Chaos Theory great.

well i hope they really do something good with the multiplayer.
I must admit i was once a ps2 fanboy and vowed to never touch an xbox after playing with what seemed like the largest video game controller next to an arcade style…well control lol. but after playing cod2 than playing it online you bastards sucked me in and now realize that i love the 360 better than what i know i would’ve loved the ps3 (not bashing ps3 btw)
anyway so i never played any of the SC except for SC:DA and i loved the multiplayer. at first it was ok but when i fell into a room wit a couple ppl who played together and actually had fun i was sold, i was hooked like crazy. anyway (again) i hear how much better the Chaos theory’s multiplayer was so i really really really really hope they take from DA and multiply what was better in CT and make conviction a helluva bad a$$ multiplayer.
imo thats what will sell it for me, im not to big on singleplayer games like i used to be, online is where i love to be so i hope this is made great.

they can take as long as they need to make a good game - a bad one will always be bad

Like I’ve said before, the Splinter Cell team had a Metal Gear type blockbuster when the game first lauched on the XBOX.

Since then, its been mostly down hill except for Chaos Theory. This game started out by pushing the graphics about most titles. That’s not longer the case.

The gameplay and stealth was so much better than MGS, yet they have done little to expand on that. The story has always been weak and got weaker with each game.

Now we have Fisher looking like a bum in DC. They seem to have made some serious changes to the gameplay with hand-to-hand combat but this game doesn’t even look like Splinter Cell.

Guarantee that this game gets delayed until 2009.
