Splinter Cell 2
 
Not long now 'till Pandora Tomorrow! :D

Who else is really looking forward to this?

It should be great!

The original was one of the best single-player games on the XBox, & with the added XBL function, the sequel should be even better.

I read a review of SC2 yesterday (on the C4 teletext video game section). They loved it. They said the single player mode isn't really much different to the original (but still v good!), & they also said it's XBL mode is absolutely brilliant.

I think this should be the game to finally get me interested in XBL again (I didn't like CS & RS3 much, & got bored with PGR2 v quickly...I haven't really had much fun with XBL since the halycon days of RtCW last year, lol)

I know this is the XBox forum but I'm really looking forward to the game on PC, the first one was awesome with amazing physics like when you walked through a curtain etc.

The first game was great but I thought the amazing lighting/shading etc. was wasted by moving around most of the time wearing night vision or in darkness.

I'll be getting SC:PT - does anyone know what game types there are in Live?

I'm not 100% sure of the details, but it's something like this:

2v2, with 2 players as Sam Fisher type spies, & 2 as mercenaries/terrorists.

The 2 spies play in 3rd person, like in the single player game, & have the 3rd Echelon type gadgets. The 2 mercs play in 1st person, & have other accessories. Each side has its own advantages & disadvantages.

Sounds v good from what I have read of it, & certainly makes a change from the standard "kill everyone" FPS games.

Re: Splinter Cell 2
 
Does anyone know if this game offers a system link mode? If so can you play competitive only or also cooperative? If system link is supported, is it 1 person per console or 2 per console?

Also, can I play this online with 2 xboxes behind the same router?

Any replies much appreciated!

Yes, AFAIK it does have a System Link mode. Not sure if the game types are the same or different as the XBL mode.

As long as each XBox has a seperate XBL account & Tag, I don't see why you couldn't use both online at the same time.

there is a bug in the NTSC version i dont know if it affects the PAL version.......

Quote:

Some gamers who acquired the Xbox version of Ubisoft's newly-released Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow came across an alarming surprise when they attempted to use the game's online multiplayer features. Specifically, after logging onto Xbox Live and selecting the "optimatch" function, players discovered that waiting for more than about 10 seconds on the optimatch results screen causes the game to freeze indefinitely.

Has anyone tried to see if this happens on the PAL version yet?

Re: Splinter Cell 2
 
I just ordered this from Amazon, in the used section it is £19.99.
The seller is new but its covered by the Amazon GUarantee.
So hopefully I shall get it intact & unwrapped & then I too can join in the fun.

Tezcatlipoca 31-03-2004 21:34

Re: Splinter Cell 2
 
I think it's excellent :D

Still haven't got round to trying the XBL multiplayer yet, but the single player game is one of the best I've played on the XBox (up there with Halo, KOTOR, & Deus Ex 2 IMO...oh & presumably Splinter Cell 1 as well, although I've never played that, LOL).

Brilliant stuff :)

Matuka 31-03-2004 21:56

Re: Splinter Cell 2
 
:( all upset now...

Re: Splinter Cell 2
 
Does anyone know where I can get it for less than £30?
Its car service/tax/tyres+new cooker+school trips+fishing license month & I'm a bit strapped, but I just MUST get this game :D

Re: Splinter Cell 2
 
Thanks, I'll look into that amongst others if I dont find it less.

Although what puzzles me is how come the same game is £25 on PC & £35 on Xbox.... :mad:

It looks like I am going to have to sell my body to science, the kids into slave labour & take on a 2nd job at Asda. (Yes, its that bad folks).
All this just to get the latest game..lol
