lol. Agreed.

I wonder if they did a complete clean slate on Splinter Cell...it was set to be released early fall of last year. Seemed to be more of an open game, Matt Bourne-ish style spy in the real world vs breaking into facilities and taking out bad guys ala special ops. Regardless, it's been one of my favorite series I've gotten to play since it came out on the original XBox. Going from one end of the scale (full on havok killing everyone) to the other (sneaking around and only being able to shoot out lights, minimal subduing opponents) is great.

Hopefully it doesn't suck. The first/last one for the 360...I liked it, but was disappointed with it.

Yeah I think they scrapped it because of the "success" from AC. It was looking good, so hopefully they keep the real-world spy stuff.

I disagree about the AC stuff. I enjoyed AC much more than Double Agent despite it's flaws. Splinter Cell is getting stale, but AC just started and the sequel will be much improved on the 1st.
