And no, its not TS3... that game looks bland and unorigional.

Im talking about Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.

Omigod i havent been this exited since... Halo 2! Im so stoked for this game. It looks so amazing. I mean, SC was the closest to life-like a game can get, and now look at this!

It's so amazing i cant stand it. The single player will most definatly own (unless they crap it up like GR2), and the multiplayer is looking alot better from PT. See what I mean?

Not to mention online co-op
(for more, go here. )

sorry if the links dont work. the site's flash based (i think) so it couldnt get them to work.

i've kinda given up on the splinter cell series for the moment. pandora tomorrow wasn't too hot IMO, and it seems like they are just rushing them out.

Mmm.

I watched some more SC:CT videos yesterday and got myself hyped up again for it.

I can't freaking wait, it's driving me insane. Kinda like the couple weeks before... Oh yeah, Halo 2.

Yeah, I'd say this is competition. But I don't think either of the companies care - They're coming out at different times, the companies will each get their chunks of change.

Edit: Duke - SC:CT has been in production since the first Splinter Cell came out, I believe. It's not rushed.

Edit x2: I just remembered that I pre-ordered it yesterday. Haha, woot.

Chaos Theory has been in the making since the first Splinter Cell came out, and its by Ubisoft Montreal. PT was a rushed game made by the people that made the PS2 Splinter Cell (wich wasnt too hot either). Chaos Theory will be the quality of the first, and not the second.

I think this is going to be one of those games where campaign is good, but multiplayer is not (just like Pandora Tomorrow).

Not that I'm complaining. I have Halo 2 and DoW for multiplayer, so having this for single player won't hurt :)

Go there, download the multiplayer beta. You will be amazed. It is so incredibly fun, one of the best things I've ever played - And it's only a beta. I can't freaking wait.

no, really, the multiplayer is look fantastic. Theres coop spy moves, more guns for mercs, destructable environments, and tons of more take-down moves for both mercs and spies. Then theres coop... *drools*

online coop would be good even if it had the same features from PT, but they added so many moves to attack enemies it amazes me. You can literally throw your partner into a nearby guy as a takedown, you can snap thier necks from above, and do so much more. Multiplayer is going to rule Live.

Have you tried? I thought mine wouldn't be able to run it either, but it's actually pretty smooth.

I think Timesplitters 3 will be exellent. I dont know why so many people hate it. Go to Ign.com and watch all the videos, that might change your mind. And yes I agree that SC:CT
will rule hard.

i go to IGN alot. Ive seen it all. It still doesnt interest me. It looks like every other FPS but with "cool and new features." but thats not the point.

The point is Sam Fisher is my hero.

Yeah, see yesterday's "Sam Fisher vs. Soild Snake" thread.

Snake got killed.

Not that it matters. Point is - Splinter Cell Chaos Theory will rock your world.

No I didnt say that. You said Sam Fisher is your hero, I said (jokingly) What about Solid Snake? You know cuz everyone likes him. I wasnt trying to implie it's an overdone genre. If anything there isnt enough stealth games out there.

No problem.Yeah Raiden is different...and not in a good way either. There should have been a secret option in MGS 2 that allowed the cyborb ninja(grey fox) to hunt down and kill Raiden, maybe then i wouldn't have traded it in.
