I dont know where to put this thread at. so, i'll post it here.


So, what do you think of the multiplayer?

I feel that 4 players is perfect for the game types. At first when i heard that there was only going to be 4 players, i was afriad that the game would be too easy. I'm not gonna say its too easy now bc i havent played it enough to know the maps, but i can say that every action is random. Theres tons of places to go as a spy and there are some sensors that triggers the alarms off for the mercenaries. There is one issue that I'm also afriad of, the game modes. There is only 1 game mode in 3 different categories where the spy has to go and activate some kind of bomb and the mercenaries have to kill the spies to defend them from activating the bomb.

I feel that the crosshairs on the mercenary should be improved (it has crosshairs movement same as Timesplitters 2) and as a spy, when in gun mode, the spy should be in FPS mode like the mercenary bc its a pain in the ass to try to line up shots sideways.

I'm digging the Motion and Electromagnetic sensors from the mercenary. i also like the movements of sam fisher. every move was so smooth and slick. lasty, the graphics are hands down, the best i've seen on any live games.


so, what do you think of the multiplayer?

OK fellas, I've got one question for you. If you didn't like the original game, will you like this one? I guess I just didn't like the getting caught and sneaking aspects to the game...so would this one be worth it at all?!?:huh:

The overall game is the same as the orginal with the additon of live play. If you didn't like the first one then you probably won't like this one. It adds some new weapons,levels,new moves etc..

I personally love this game. Now i need to go "buy" it so i can play on live :eek:

03-25-2004, 10:34 AM
...after owning everyone in Toronto (Stacey XBA, Casper XBA, and the rest of the wanna bes)... I can say that the Choke Kill on the Merc by Sam is definately awesome... the flip off the wall is great to use on the Merc while coming out of a cornered location... its all strategy and thinking man against man... and after they told me the controls in Toronto it really helped to...


....brightness and contrast though will kill this game on LIVE...

Casper
03-25-2004, 10:34 AM
I found the original to be hard as hell at first, but then after not playing it for awhile, I went back to it and finished it being that it was too great of a game to pass up. I wasn't that big of a fan of it, but the XBL experience on this thing is insane - I swear, there isn't a xbl game so far that can come close to the intensity of this game.

Yea, I have TRIR on my list now - woulda thunk it :watchout:

This game is all about teamwork, planning, and tricking the ******* merc you see running around on the ground.

Its not about going into rooms expecting confrentations.

2 on 2 works great.

PS: Send friend invites to SmileBit. I say yes to all of them.

Im cleaning my RS3 list of friends and making a bunch of new ones.

Basically how it went lastnight was whoever where the mercs won every round. Casper can vouch for that. I came very close several times to getting the third terminal, but Casper or Spartan always interrupted me with death!

Haha see Casper I'm not a bad guy! Differences get put aside when it comes to gaming my friend! Especially when you have a chance to own MODS!

Chaotic anytime, I'll add you to my list and look forward to the challange.

..I am not sure in Toronto I played nothing but Spy and no one could catch me... I think Stacey and Casper will vouch for that.. but then again... I do not trust guys increasing brightness and contrast on there systems... simply when we played in a LAN controlled environment no problem...

...and I would play but Casper took the money he owes me and bought the game so... I guess I am Curse out of luck...

Don't get me wrong DZNUTZ is still a childish big fat doo doo head who stalks me (JUST KIDDING). Anyway, I suggested to Casper lastnight that he invite you to the game when my friend left. I was unaware you haven't acquired the game yet.

I look forward to future games! We can all take out our political aggression towards one another with machine guns, grenades, tazers, sticky shockers, broken necks and other great Splinter Cell goodies! Pip Pip Cheerio! :cheers:

Is it true, if I'm a spy and I'm talking, a mercenary walking buy can hear me through his speakers?

I should be on tonight

No Fear 23
03-25-2004, 03:04 PM
im playing this all nite. i have no school tomorrow :cheers:


i find that if you can send 1 person off (spy) to set off all the motion detectors which will alert the mercenaries and have them to come and check them out. while the 2 mercenaries are looking for that spy, the other spy can arm the bomb at another place, far away from the mercenaries.

i love it when i set off a bomb and 2 merc came running into the room i was in. i just disappeared out of site into the ceiling above them. then one became alone in the room and i jumped down on him and got him in headlock and said "whos my ***** now?" then break his neck.

pretty damn fun. :cheers:

im not sure, but theres a kit called the spy trap for the merc. the spy trap intercepts the communication of the spy when its near the trap.

as a spy, when you get a merc in headlock, you can talk to the merc if thats what you mean.

Sheeyt
03-25-2004, 03:14 PM
No JJax thats not true.

Like No Fear said as a merc you get a device called a spy trap. You place these on the wall, and they have an inferred beam. When a spy breaks that beam it locks him on your rader, you can also pick up their communication by pressing and holding the white button. That device came in very handy lastnight against Casper and Spartan.

The spys have a "spy bullert" which can be shot from the gun and stuck to a merc. This marks the merc on the spies radar and also allows interception of communication by holding down the white button.

dont forget no fear too. im on all nite. all the crybabies on my friends list will be in bed while i have no school.


i played you last nite casper. lol i was setting of those detectors like crazy.


anyway...anybody think the detectors and the NID133 should be placed randomly after each round? this way would keep everything random instead of repeative.

so what happens if the mercs just camp and blast the spies when they come into a room??? like what's the camp factor in this game?

Sheeyt
03-25-2004, 09:09 PM
The camp factor is ZERO. It's impossible to camp there are atleast 5-6 different locations on the map that have to be protected and a billion different ways to enter. Camping is pointless in this game.

No, no whats more frustrating is playing with someone who doesn't communicate. Communication is essential to this game. I hate playing with people as spies who are all gung ho and just go rushing in with no plan or communication.

I played this idiot the other, he wasn't even trying to disable the terminals he simply was trying to kill us (mercs) which was stupid because we just owned him everytime.

-EDIT-
Since you guys are saying Casper just recently learned that you can lean in RS3. I wanted to make sure that he knows that you can also peek around corners in SC with your gun drawn to shot from cover or perhaps shot out a camera or motion sensor without tripping it. :rofl:

lol, i have to work tonite, which is why i quit. lucky bastage. i shall continue my ownage tonite at 10:10pm


by the way, i dont get this one thing about rankings. sometimes when my team wins, i lose points and sometimes when i lost, i lose like 12 points. that happen 3 times in a row, 2 being that my team won. i keep going from level 3 to 2 and vice versa. anybody know how this **** works?

I have a group of friends as well. However, we don't have practices, we don't schedule clan matches, we don't have a voting system, we don't kick out members, we don't play for statistic, we play the games for the fun of it.

Just a group of mature people who get together when we can to play on Live without the lunacy of public rooms and idiots that troll on Live.

Nothing wrong with clans, if that's your cup of tea. It's not mine, I know for the most part you where joking about the stats. But still no need to say I'm not good simply because I don't dedicate that much time to it.

Now if you want me to own you in SC:PT we can arange that anytime. I'll bring one of my "non" clan friends and you can have Casper. Date/time, and its on.

The only problem I see with the 2 vs 2 is its hard to join a friends game, normally because they're always full. I tried for a long time to get into Caspers game, to no avail.

You should make a server and where it has the friends slots put them at 3 so only your friends can join, btw I sent some friend requests to some of you

on that one level, i was up in the ceiling for 5 minutes to try to take chaotic out. lol, i was hopping left to right waiting for the perfect timing to jump on him, but i keep missing him due to other railings that were around me as i was trying to jumped on him. i ended up getting lit up by chaotic as i just miss landing on his head

chaotic, when we were in weed's server, did the game froze or something? bc thats what happen to me and i had to restart my xbox.

Dawg, i am freakin' over the Multiplayer, this is the most fun i have had since the Metal Arms and Halo multiplayers.

03-27-2004, 09:53 PM
the multiplayer is ingenious..props to ubi for going out and designing a whole new HUD, new control system, etc. just for the mercs in multiplayer, and working so hard to keep it balanced!

the whole point of the game is to give the user a sense of power. when a spy is able to just sit there and have mercs go running around crazily looking for him...that's power. i had one game where i just ****ed with the mercs and my partner did all the work...the level was my playground as i played tricks on the stoopid n00bs :D

the mercs too get the feeling of power when they smack a spy in the face with the butt of their rifle, or spot one who with crazy high tech goggle thingies.

so yep i likes it.

What the spy can see and his interface is not at all comparable to what a merc sees though they are looking at the samething... anywhere on the map both worlds are the same but yet completely different using equipment and just there visual perceptions..

8 Players in Splinter Cell would be way too many!!!
In my opinion 4 Players suits perfect.

Remember SPlinter Cell isnt a conventional Shooter like RS3 or CS.
New Type of Gameplay.

U really should try it before deciding that 4 Players arent enough for u.

I Tryed Holding Down The White Button And Talking Ish When I Had Someone In A Choke...don't Know If They Heard It Our Not...anyone From Last Night Remember?

When U Hit Someone With A Spy Bullet..do The Merc's Feel It? ...can They Disable It In Anyway? When I Did It...i'd Hold Down White...but I Didn't Really Hear Anything Besides Static. Were They Just Not Talking..or Was I Not Close Enuff For Someone?

How About The Vision Setting Of The Mercs...they Seem Very Disorienting To Me...does Anyone Use Them? Can U Provide Any Tips On When One Should Use Them And How To Use Them Effectiviely?

From what I can figure, you have to be in a certain range in order to use them. Once you get out of that range, you just hear the static. And as a merc, I have been told that I was tagged by a spy bullet and I never felt a thing.

How About The Vision Setting Of The Mercs...they Seem Very Disorienting To Me...does Anyone Use Them? Can U Provide Any Tips On When One Should Use Them And How To Use Them Effectiviely?

Well, the Electromagnetic (the blue view) is WONDERFUL when they are hiding or moving up on ceiling tiles. With this view on, you can see them through the tiles...really disorienting to be lit up from the floor as a spy...

As for the motion tracker view (the red one) I use it whenever a sensor is tripped. I go to the general area of the alarm and turn it on. Usually after a spy trips the alarm he tries to high tail it out of the area to hise until it subsides.


Now for my question. Anyone else fire a spy cam when running spy, get killed and then be stuck in the spy cam view? This happened again last night...whole lotta suckin...

I dont think range is a factor when intercepting communications. I hold the white button and it works fine as long as the spy bullet is still active.
