Part of me is still upset that they abounded the traditional Splinter Cell, but I still like the look of this.

Though is that a new voice actor?

Are we playing Rambo in the middle east?
This might be a fun to play, but it's once again something completely different than what Splinter Cell used to be...

Word! :) Its a damn action Game, i just finished Ghost Recon Future Soldier and its much more of a Stealth Game then this, ironic if you think how the franchises started.

After watching the MS press conference, I got a Ghost Recon Future Soldier deja vu because of the swift kills, takedowns and fast cover to cover mechanics.

I really hoped Ubisoft would go back to the basics of Splinter Cell and make it stealthy again. That's how the series started. Too bad stockholders are more powerful than gamers.

Let's hope that Rainbow Six's core design will be left intact. Fingers crossed.

No Michael Ironside? What's the reason they changed the voice of Fisher?

I was going to say that the old Sam Fisher is dead. This is more like Ghost Recon Future Soldier: Lone Wolf.

Because UBI wanted to capture the movement and voice from the same guy at the same time, which Ironside could not offer. What a lame reason. I mean the idea is cool, but they should have not done it this time.

i lolled so fucking hard at the voice commands due to what we was all on about in chat box prior to it showing :D

also glad to see majority of the internet is going apeshit over this "returning to the roots, as long as those roots was in conviction" abortion.

Thank god! I was just thinking how we need more over the top action games set in the Middle East! Glad I'm not the only one disappointed.....again.

Conviction was the first SC game I passed on, and it looks like it won't be the last. At some point developers taking the safe route (i.e action game in the Middle East with COD set pieces) won't be the safe route anymore if we stop buying these damn games. Isn't the market over saturated yet, or is there an insatiable desire for these games?

I don't know about everyone else, but I say let's vote with our wallets and remind UBI what made SC such a great series in the first place...

A lot of whining going on here! I thought it looked great! Very dynamic, and the visuals were fantastic. Also, if the returned Spies vs Mercs is closer to how it was in PT/CT rather than DA, it stands to be one of my new most played games.
