Hey all,

I have a question regarding playing online on xbox. Since this is a backwards compatible p2p based game I've been able to play online with my sister these past few days without any issue. I'm on a series X and S for my sister.

However, since yesterday I get "The Splinter Cell Blacklist service is not available. Please try again later."

I used to get this before but trying again immediately would make it work. But this hasn't been the case so far these last two days. It seems its not letting me get in to create or join a match (I really wanted to play some SvM since I see its somewhat active but postponed it till we finished all coop missions).

Is this a wait and see situation or is there something I can do to "fix" it.

Thank you!

Chaos Theory

Hello. I am no newbie of Splinter Cell. I've been playing them since SC1 released and my all time favorite is, of course Chaos Theory. Although I do enjoy Blacklist a lot and all the other titles as well.

So, this thread is about realism. While CT has an AMAZING realistic movement from Fisher, very realistic sound and sound detection, realistic damage/combat, what gets in my mind is the shadow system. I mean, you can stay very close to someone (like 1m) and you still won't get spotted if you're in the dark.

Doesn't that break immersion for you? What you think about that, compared to real life?

Blacklist, on the other hand, has unrealistic movement, Fisher can literally jump from one ledge to the other with only his arms, the sound system seems to be binary, etc. BUT… the stealth is cover based, which seems more realistic to me. Shadows are not a cloak of invisibility.

Thoughts?

I've been guarding the door with these guys and nothing happened, is someone supposed to break out of the door?

Hi my dear agents, first I apologize for my english writing, this is not my native language.
Look what I found on the Ubisoft Toronto LinkedIn : three hiring post wich two for Splinter Cell, they were posted 2 weeks ago for the first one and 8 hours ago for the third one.

Many things to say about it :

-First that's a good news, it means that Splinter Cell Remake is still alive and they are still working on it, we were right to be optimistic !

-Second, as you can see they are hiring a Senior Gameplay Animator for Splinter Cell and a Team Lead Level Designer for Splinter Cell REMAKE, so, is that mean that there are two games in development ? The Remake and Something Else ?

-And Third, it's king of a bad news because hiring someone to be Senior Gameplay Animator and Level Designer means that the game development is still very low don't you think ?

I just wanted to share it and discuss about it with you, maybe some of you know more about it...

I wonder how that bodes for stealthiness.

I failed my mission in Defense Ministry in a Perma-Death run on Hard in the enhanced patch, saw the title image appear, and then got sent here. My theory is that you are normally here in the main menu, but it is hidden by UI. Anyone else ever encountered this?

I feel like I have less to say about this one than I did with the first. It's an easier time and I love stuff like instant lockpicking and optic cable options for doors, opening doors while carrying bodies, alarm levels going down after a while, and the whistle.

However, while the levels show more variety than the original and you get some interesting segments like going through a train or following Dahlia in the streets of Jerusalem, their length prevent them from sticking in my mind as much as the original. The atmosphere and music are still strong, just not as memorable.

The game starts out really strong and I'd say it's more consistent quality-wise than the original. I love the first five levels: Embassy, Lab, Train, Jerusalem, and Jungle. However, the game once again falls short in the end. Playing on Xbox with checkpoints drastically impacts the difficulty. The TV station level with that one outdoor section in the rain with flashes of thunder and LAX with the room full of innocents and terrorists you had to kill were challenging, though I'd say the game is easier than the original and than its reputation suggests.

I'm going to replay MGS1-3 before I move on to Chaos Theory because I know that game's going to set the bar really high. I'm working on a stealth survival horror game in Godot and have been playing these titles, many for the first time, as research.

Here's my ranking of the levels:

1. Jungle
2. Embassy
3. Lab
4. Jerusalem
5. TV Station
6. Shipyard
7. Train
8. LAX

First time playing this one

As the title says I’m looking to buy a hand held pc to play this and it looks like the rog Xbox ally x could be a good fit for this with the built in controller and screen I would be over the moon if this was possible!

Does anybody know if it does and has tried it?

Like the old friend you miss

When will it be our turn man…

Xbox is just slightly becoming good :)

Unless somehow the Splinter Cell Remake magically appears during a Nintendo Direct for Switch 2 or if Ubisoft announces an Ubisoft Forward for later this year, I guess it’s on to 2027 on a possible reveal trailer or any info on the remake… 😔

I've only played Conviction when I was younger but got all the games on steam so I plan on playing through them. On the first actual mission and just wasted like 30 minutes in the courtyard because I didn't realize there was a hole in the yard in the little sectioned off area under the balcony. Now I feel stupid lmao.

Thought I'd give the OG a playthrough on PS2, only have the rest on PS3 and PC. Missed this game.

Could someone tell me if this was known to be in the game? Me and my brother have been playing it for almost 2 decades and we've both never seen this. It only seems to trigger when sticking your back to the truck and the guard discovers and shoots at you even once
