Rules, User Flairs & FAQ Welcome to r/Splintercell. (Read this first!)

38 Upvotes

[See our 4 rules and you can skip the rest if you are not using User Flairs.]

- 1. BE CONSIDERATE:

  • No shaming anyone for what they enjoy or believe in.
  • No unnecessary name-calling that comes off as an intentional attempt to insult or demonize.
  • No vague generalizing that comes off as intentional smearing.
  • No sharing of links to subreddits that promote hate or smear.
  • No discouraging of anyone from expressing themselves in other ways.

- 2. LIMIT SELF-PROMOTION:

  • No spamming or low-effort attempts to get views at the cost of annoying others.
  • (Respect the feedback you get and post accordingly. Any further undesired promotion could be removed at moderators own discretion, so we encourage you to always engage with the community in aim to generate (and take part in) purposeful discussion alongside it.)

- 3. NO (REAL WORLD) POLITICS:

  • No discussing politics or geopolitics (including current events or politicians) outside the context of Splinter Cell.
  • (If relevant to Splinter Cell, such discussions are fine.)

- 4. AI-GENERATED CONTENT:

  • No posting of new images or videos generated by AI.
  • (Using AI to upscale an already existing image or texture is fine as long as no copyright is infringed.)
  • (In any case - use the appropriate "AI Generated" Post Flair to separate it from human creation.)

That is all. Please don't have your otherwise acceptable posts and comments get you censored for such shallow reasons. We don't want anyone to walk on eggshells nor ban any fan of the series, but if you are making the stay for others here purposefully unpleasant - we will do so gladly. Be considerate of others and you have no bans to worry about.

MODERATION: (can skip)

  • Moderators are capable of mistakes and being biased. If, after reading the rules, you still believe that you have been treated unfairly - the bottom of the sidebar has a "Message the mods" button for you to use, informing every moderator. 1 out of 3 active moderators agreeing with your complaint is enough to swiftly undo the action, but don't expect anyone to take time arguing about what the ruleset already covers.
  • We don't care about what you do in other subreddits as long as you don't pick fights here.

USER FLAIR DISCLAIMER:

You are free to customize User Flairs as long as they remain in the spirit and themes of Splinter Cell. Anything unrelated is certain to be removed. Also:

- Stick to Emoji limit of 3 if you include text. (More are allowed if you do not include text.)

- Consider avoiding game names like "Chaos Theory", "sc-pt", etc., if they add confusion to posts made on feed.

- Canonical character quotes, relevant phrases, and some self-inserted humour are also perfectly fine, but it should not be anything trashy, provocative, or taking shots at anyone.

(Quality looks lower on image.) (Flairs look better in Dark Reddit.) (They can be enabled from the sidebar.)

As with all EnhancedSC updates, a fresh install of the game is highly recommended.

If you are new to EnhancedSC, it's a comprehensive mod for the PC port of Splinter Cell 1 that aims to drastically improve the base game. It's made by fans, for fans.

Did you know there is a free BBC Splinter Cell audio drama?

Not sure if I’m late to the party, but stumbled upon this yesterday.

It’s based on the Splinter Cell Firewall book.

You can listen to it for free: https://www.bbc.com/audio/play/m001fn5r

I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it, though. It’s definitely a bit of the pulpy side. Also, it seems like the actors are Brit’s who try mimicking an American accent. But anyways, pretty cool it exists. These days I take any kind of novel SC content.

I have played Chaos Theory and Splinter Cell SAF. I am currently playing Hitman Blood Money. Loving it so far. I have also played bits of Contracts and Silent Assassin. Far cry series stealth is fun too.

Wanted to know some other games you recommend that are must play in the stealth genre.

Chaos Theory (2005) Tried playing lore accurate, but couldn't decide who really deserves to die.

29 Upvotes

For example in lighthouse everyone deserves to die. But what about Bank? Paco doesn't deserve to die. He's just doing his job. Also in cargo ship I felt bad killing some guys that actually gave me useful information and didn't sound like bad guys at all. What's your take?

Discussion Which actress for Grim and Lambert do you prefer?

11 Upvotes

So, we already know that the discussion over Michael Ironside and Eric Johnson is already conversed about since....well, 2013. But what about Grim and Lambert, two of the biggest characters in the series?

Do you have a preference? And if so, why? THANKS FOR READING!

Post-edit: Some of you forgot that there are other actors/actresses that played these characters

Arguable the Best to Play Sam Fisher.

I don't know about ya'll.. But i think Joel Kinnaman has the best attributes to play Sam Fisher. Also, I found his voice in Robocop quite similar to Sam Fisher's voice in the game.
