Splinter Cell Conviction

[bigmac558]

It comes out on Thursday Mar 18. Just an FYI for anyone interested. I personally am super excited about this game.

[mikejet]

Can't wait! I hope the demo has co-op

[bigmac558]

Me too! But I don't think it does. I think you get to beat the guy up in the bathroom, and then sneak into a warehouse.

[bigmac558]

It's out and amazing!

Will download when I get home

Well, the demo is out and I thought we could start up a thread to discuss this game before it releases. Here is some info about the game.

Splinter Cell Conviction takes place two years after Splinter Cell Double Agent. Sam Fisher is now a rogue agent. He has discovered that the death of his daughter, Sarah, was no accident. However, Third Echelon is now in pursuit of Sam. Sam will use several different people for help including former Third Echelon colleague Anna Grimsdóttír, his old Handler, and his old friend Victor Coste. Sam starts by going after his daughter's killer, but he finds himself trying to stop a more serious threat within our nations capital, Washington DC.

If anyone has ever played a splinter cell game then you already know that it is one of the best stealth action games available. Previous Splinter Cell games were pretty straight forward. Hide in the shadows, catch the enemy off guard, disapear back into the shadows. Ubisoft tried to change this formula with Splinter Cell Double Agent. They even went as far as to give you missions in broad daylight. Now they are changing the way the game is played even more. Sam is now faster and more lethal than ever. The biggest changes are mark and execute, and last known position. Mark and Execute allows the player to mark specific targets, such as enemies or objects, and shoot them when they burst through a door or window. This feature works almost flawlessly on the demo. When you drop from the ceiling onto an enemy, and instantly drop three more before they even know you are there, you truly feel like a super spy. the other new feature, last known position, occurs if you break the enemies line of sight. This creates a clear silhouette of Sam where the guard thinks you are. This is great for sneaking out of an area, or getting a flanking postion on your enemies.

If anyone else has any more info on the game feel free to share with everyone. I definitly plan on getting this game. It is planned for release on April 6. The game will be released with a standard and collectors edition, and a limited edition in Europe.

I've always loved this series and still have all of four of the previous releases for the original Xbox. I can't wait for this one to be released. I'm going to download the demo today.

What does the CE offer over the standard version?

[CdnBlu]

I believe the CE is going to come in a Steelbook, but I'm not 100% sure.

[bigmac558]

Collector's Edition bonus items including: exclusive digital media via a collectable USB drive, a hardbound art book, 2 exclusive in-game items, collectable decals, a digital comic book and metal hard case.

That is straight from Amazon.

[TechPro]

i still prefer double agent...spy vs merc was great.

It annoys me that it isn't for PS3 I really don't want to get a 360 for just one game. I might get it for pc.

I really really really HATE the Iraq flashback. I'm at the part where you need to defend the position with Sam.

UGH it's annoying.

Also, is anyone else like me in the game? You'll find a secure bottleneck spot and kill one guard to lure ALL the others to that location then just keep killing until the music changes?

first you need to take out the guys on the roof across the street then cover... then take out some guys, then blow those barrels up, then a ton of dudes come and he says "sam I'm sorry" and boom mission done
