… This game is going to be a bit like Conviction. Now let me try to explain this, I like Conviction, but when I play that game and think back to the more old school days of Chaos Theory, Pandora Tomorrow and especially the original Splinter Cell, I can't help but feel a bit agitated that Ubisoft has decided to sell out their hardcore fans by using a tried and true formula, similar to Assassins Creed. I just think the romance of these games has gone from Double Agent to Conviction and it is all about the mighty dollar. Then call it the evolution of a game if you will, even the evolution of gaming, but if Assassins Creed is similar to this, of that I believe it is, then this evolution is a bit weak.

Veterans only have to play this game on Xbox Live and nine times out of ten get the crazy Ivan's who want to shoot up everything in sight. Sadly, Conviction does cater well to that style of play with Counterstrike like mechanics and Blacklist might too. It is so saddening to see Sam Fisher fire a heavy weapon while doing a funny dance of which just does not remember and honour Splinter Cell's roots.

August is another three months away, we will continue to wait and see.

Description

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Blacklist Upper Echelon Edition includes:

  • The Dead coast single player and coop map
  • DLC including:
    • A pair of gold goggles
    • The legendary Upper Echelon Suit
    • Early access to the HK 416 Assault Rifle
    • Elite Digital Ghillie Suit

The United States has a military presence in two thirds of countries around the world. A group of 12 have had enough and initiate a terror ultimatum called the Blacklist – a deadly countdown of escalating terrorist attacks on U.S. interests. Sam Fisher is the leader of the newly formed 4th Echelon unit: a clandestine unit that answers solely to the President of the United States. Sam and his team must hunt down these terrorists by any means necessary, and stop the Blacklist countdown before it reaches zero.

Features:

  • Operate without Restrictions – Sam is back in his tactical suit and goggles, and he’s more deadly than ever. He is the only secret operative with the power to act above the law, and uses ruthless methods to interrogate enemies in order to extract crucial information that will prevent the next Blacklist attack. Pursuing the terrorists to the far reaches of the world, Sam flies from exotic locales to U.S. cities as he races against the clock to find out who’s behind the Blacklist. Thrilling gameplay is enhanced by full motion performance capture, creating a highly cinematic experience.
  • Kill in Motion: Always one step ahead, Killing In Motion lets Sam strike with lethal precision by marking and executing multiple enemies in one fluid motion. Active Sprint allows him to traverse the environment easily and fluidly, climb walls and leap over barriers in order to reach his next target while on the move.
  • Unleash the power of 4th Echelon Prototypes – Blacklist innovates from the roots of the franchise, and players can enjoy a series of twists on franchise favorites including reinvented classic weapons. Infiltrate terrorist cells by using new gadgets such as the upgraded snake cam and micro-trirotor drone which allows Sam to scout ahead, mark targets remotely, distract enemies, or explode with frag grenade force. Blacklist is also bringing back fan-favorites like the sticky shocker, and for close quarters combat, players can wield the curved and brutal Karambit knife.
  • Build a New Echelon: With a mandate directly from the President, Sam is building a whole new Echelon unit; his team, his way. Anna “Grim” Grimsdottir is his technical operations manager, CIA operative Isaac Briggs brings additional firepower, and resident hacker Charlie Cole rounds out his support crew. 4th Echelon is a fully mobile ops unit with unlimited resources and cutting edge technology aboard the repurposed stealth airliner, the Paladin.
  • Enjoy a Fully Integrated Experience – Sam and his team are aware of terrorist attacks in real time thanks to the Strategic Mission Interface (SMI). The SMI allows the team to receive data about mission objectives while on the move. Players can earn money for completing missions and objectives and buy upgraded weapons and items from the SMI hub aboard the Paladin.
