Thanks everyone.

EB surprised me today and called me to tell me Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory was in. Me and a friend raced there right away. Unfortunately its only the regular version that's in today, and the Collector's Edition has for some reason been delayed till tomorrow. I figured to hell with it and just took the money I had on the CE and bought the regular version.

I'll be online for the next 172 hours I'd imagine, playing single player and co-op. Then there's adversarial mode.

If you haven't played the first two Splinter Cell games then no worries, the storyline is fine as a standalone story.

My GamerTag is: Tatewaki Kuno

No news on Chapter 15 for now, other than it'll take slightly longer than usual to write the chapter. What with Splinter Cell and all.

Great chapter though, keep it up man.

one of the prophet talked about the son of kinlumee, is that the Arbiter we know of today?
And why did they not kill him?

He can't be the Arbiter's father. Earlier on it was said that his Father died during the Taming of the Hunters.

Chapter five:

Back in his home, he had been brought up to believe in a code of honor, and how to conduct himself in battle. His father had been a high-ranking fleet commander before his death during the battle to tame the Hunters.


Thats the story the prophets told the arbiter when asked about his father.

Another amazing chapter Mr. C.

I'm a little sad that this look in the Covenant's past has ended, but knowing the Chief and the Arbiter will be back next chapter is also really cool.

Keep up the good work.

Poor Grunts,lol. WOW Great chapter!
One question, did you name one of the Grunts Gagaw or whatever on purpose 'cause of Yayaps buddy in The Flood, or was it random?
Can't wait to read about Chief and the Arbiter in the next chapter but like
Stand_ Alone said, its a little sad that the Covenant's past ended.

This is mainly just a note for those interested in Chaos Theory.

I made the startling discovery that you cannot play with your friends in ranked matches. It disables the function to send them invites, and won't let people join your game. Its not exactly a crippling development, but it is still somewhat depressing. I like playing with my friends, and for once I've suckered four of them into buying the game, so we could have all played together.

There's still unranked games, which are fine, but they just won't hold the intensity that a ranked match always seems to bring.

Also, playing with strangers in such an intimate game as splinter cell is not really appealing, since I imagine I'll always somehow be teamed up with the 11 year old that 'knows the best routes, and that I should give him all the mines, and always follow him'.

The single player campaign is amazing, and the co-op missions are incredibly fun. Play them on Extreme mode, and you'll understand what unfairness is all about in a video game.

There's a somewhat pathetic trailer for the Splinter Cell movie, which in my opinion is somewhere around the lines of having a 50/50 chance of either being really sweet, or really crappy. It all depends on the actors I'd say. George Clooney is easily my number one pick for Sam Fiscer. If he can make his voice a little more gravel like, he'd be a mirror image of him.

Anyways, right now I'd have to say its a great game, not as good as Halo 2 in my opinion, but a worthy title to own, provided your into the sneaking, and neck-breaking action this series has always been about.

All Ubisoft has to do to keep me playing this is to continually release new maps for the co-op mode. I'd play it forever if they did that.

To make this post somewhat valid, I'll casually state that work should begin on Chapter 15 around Friday, and Saturday I'll most likely have a clearer picture on when I'll be able to release the next chapter.

Err do you think the Prophets have time to babysit child elites? I can hardly see the mini-Arbiter bouncing on Truth's knee while he told him all about his father. :S

to be honest if you factor in times the arbiter if hes in that line would have to be a younger brother to kinlumee because ther isn't enough time too have too other generations ~(arbiters dad and him)

Scorptank this is in reply to your review on fanfiction.net.

The look into the Covenant's past is a deeper look into certain situations that will be important later on in the story, as well as going in deeper to see just how some of the events occured in the story, and why the Prophets have done some of the things they've done.

The Arbiter is just giving the ONI officials a basic overview of each Covenant age, minus all the heavily indepth situations that I've created and shared.

For example, he would tell the ONI Section 3 folks about the Age of Doubt, and simply mention that it was the first instance the Covenant found one of the Sacred Rings. He'd also mention the Grunt Rebellion, since I imagine that would certainly be the age that it occurred in.

Thanks, Mr_Clark, that cleared some things up.
And congratulations on the massive amount of reviews (176 ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!) concerning your story.

make that 177, and about the family line of the Arbiter, i do think that the Arbiter is the son or brother of Kinlumee. And Arbiter's family does have a line of trouble and betrayls. And so far all of the family mem in his family line have either been betrayed by the prophets or been killed.
