    I think they got kinda worse as they went along giving you all these crazy weapon attachments but givin you a terrible mission rating if you used them!!

    After playing Chaos Theory again, I really feel that SC has gone in the wrong direction. It's very over the top IMO, especially this new marking system.

    I think it looks brilliant. They've really updated the series especially the combat. It reminded me of the opening to Casino Royale.

    This could be great. I mean really great. It could also be terrible and serve to water down the series. It's a fine balance.

    trailer looks pretty impressive. Haven't really played one of the games since the original on the Xbox as I wasn't blown away by the original but this looks special. Lets hope it holds up.

    Definitely isnt. Yeh it looks bloody brilliant. Probably the 360 console exlcusive I'm looking forward to most this crimbo.

    Quite enjoyed double agent. There was a bit more focus on combat, but i still avoided it as much as I can. Some levels where you were infiltrating the cell were all stealth, so if you like that thats cool.

    worth it for michael ironsides too.

    I love Splinter Cell, can still remember drooling over the shots of the first game in OXM :D Chaos Theory was definitely the high point of the series while Double Agent was good, but had one major annoyance I just couldn't look past - no cutscenes.

    Granted I'm an undercover agent infiltrating a terrorist group, but FFS at least let me see how the story is progressing once in a while. It seemed to be mission -> jba hq -> mini chat with npc ->mission. And
    kill or save Lambert
    was just ****ing stupid. Both choices seemed to lead to the exact same conclusion!
    he dies

    The screens for Conviction look very promising and I''m just hoping they flesh the story out a bit this time.

    when they first started talking it sounded like a load of hot air, specialised take downs etc were nothing new.

    But when they explained the Y button system and the line of sight ghost, both simple changes but very very cool. Especially the Y button system when you can target objects and people and then take them out in a quick series of attacks. That is pretty cool and is a genuine step in the right direction of combining action/stealth.

    The ghost image while not as groundbreaking, is a good visual cue to where you were last seen and if you have gotten away or not. Thumbs up for cutting down on hud elements fround in most stealth games.
