Rules, User Flairs & FAQ Welcome to r/Splintercell. (Read this first!)

38 Upvotes

[See our 4 rules and you can skip the rest if you are not using User Flairs.]

- 1. BE CONSIDERATE:

  • No shaming anyone for what they enjoy or believe in.
  • No unnecessary name-calling that comes off as an intentional attempt to insult or demonize.
  • No vague generalizing that comes off as intentional smearing.
  • No sharing of links to subreddits that promote hate or smear.
  • No discouraging of anyone from expressing themselves in other ways.

- 2. LIMIT SELF-PROMOTION:

  • No spamming or low-effort attempts to get views at the cost of annoying others.
  • (Respect the feedback you get and post accordingly. Any further undesired promotion could be removed at moderators own discretion, so we encourage you to always engage with the community in aim to generate (and take part in) purposeful discussion alongside it.)

- 3. NO (REAL WORLD) POLITICS:

  • No discussing politics or geopolitics (including current events or politicians) outside the context of Splinter Cell.
  • (If relevant to Splinter Cell, such discussions are fine.)

- 4. AI-GENERATED CONTENT:

  • No posting of new images or videos generated by AI.
  • (Using AI to upscale an already existing image or texture is fine as long as no copyright is infringed.)
  • (In any case - use the appropriate "AI Generated" Post Flair to separate it from human creation.)

That is all. Please don't have your otherwise acceptable posts and comments get you censored for such shallow reasons. We don't want anyone to walk on eggshells nor ban any fan of the series, but if you are making the stay for others here purposefully unpleasant - we will do so gladly. Be considerate of others and you have no bans to worry about.

MODERATION: (can skip)

  • Moderators are capable of mistakes and being biased. If, after reading the rules, you still believe that you have been treated unfairly - the bottom of the sidebar has a "Message the mods" button for you to use, informing every moderator. 1 out of 3 active moderators agreeing with your complaint is enough to swiftly undo the action, but don't expect anyone to take time arguing about what the ruleset already covers.
  • We don't care about what you do in other subreddits as long as you don't pick fights here.

USER FLAIR DISCLAIMER:

You are free to customize User Flairs as long as they remain in the spirit and themes of Splinter Cell. Anything unrelated is certain to be removed. Also:

- Stick to Emoji limit of 3 if you include text. (More are allowed if you do not include text.)

- Consider avoiding game names like "Chaos Theory", "sc-pt", etc., if they add confusion to posts made on feed.

- Canonical character quotes, relevant phrases, and some self-inserted humour are also perfectly fine, but it should not be anything trashy, provocative, or taking shots at anyone.

(Quality looks lower on image.) (Flairs look better in Dark Reddit.) (They can be enabled from the sidebar.)

Chaos Theory (2005) Chaos Theory ruined modern stealth games because none of them match its light and sound meters.

Modern stealth relies way too heavily on wall-hacks, detective vision, and forgiving vision cones. Chaos Theory made actual environmental awareness and silence feel earned.

SC DA V1 PC redeemed?

As we all know, the DA V1 PC port is utterly terrible - but, I still felt compelled to try and improve it in some ways. First of all, I used a nexus mod to put Sam's full Splinter Cell gear into all levels. Then, using Reshade, enable NVG mode for all those levels and an array of visual FX such as SSDO as an alternative to RTGI without the RTGI drawbacks. Here's a short compilation video:

Does anyone have any information on multiplayer features that didn’t make into Blacklists multiplayer?

I remember hearing about it, and it’s evident in the maps.

Anyone?

Chaos Theory (2005) Splinter cell chaos theory on ps2 made me nauseous and sweaty urging to puke.

0 Upvotes

The first SC game I played was on a Java phone and I was a fan of it, then the first modern title I ever played was double agent on PC and that game looked amazing and ran great too; it felt realistic and modern…

Then as I decided to try other versions on my ps2, I had high hopes and tried chaos theory, the first mission was on a cave with lots of holes and secret tunnels too, I went on circles trying to progress and second one was a ship with lots of doors, stairs + floors, added with secret tunnels leading back to the same floors, doors and more doors, I knocked out every single target on the ship to find the main target, looked for the exit then it didn’t finish there, I realised that the target was “knocked” out; when I was supposed to finish him, so I went back looking for him passing every door, checked different floors on the ship and gave up because I started sweating and I have been fighting the urge to puke from an hour ago but continued just cause I was a fan of the series and wanted to move onto the next mission hoping it’ll be less stressful than this ship. Just to make sure I checked YouTube only to see the third mission was on a big ass building with lots of floors, doors, holes and walls…. Again! I gave up there itself and deleted it directly from my ps2.

High hopes left me with disappointments.

Double agent PC also had lots of levels like this but it was less confusing, maybe because of the graphics ?

And what about double agent PS2 ? I’m thinking of trying it on a ps2 emulator.

And what about chaos theory PC version too?

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to share some exciting news. A friend and I have been working behind the scenes on bringing Splinter Cell: Blacklist multiplayer back online.
Our goal is to make the experience as simple and seamless as possible. Soon, you won’t need the Echelon 5 Launcher anymore. Instead, you’ll just create an account with us, drag a few files into your Splinter Cell: Blacklist game folder, and you’ll be ready to play.
Here’s what you can expect:
✅ No more 45-minute session resets.
✅ Private lobbies will be fully open.
✅ Invite system will work properly.
✅ Public matchmaking will be available again.
We’re still hard at work, so we’re not ready to announce a release date just yet. We just wanted to let the community know that progress is being made, and we’re committed to making the setup and online experience better than ever.
We’ll continue sharing updates as we get closer to launch.
Thanks for sticking with the game and keeping the community alive. We can’t wait to get everyone back online.
Stay tuned. 🕶️

Oh and here’s the discord for updates https://discord.gg/5zqCbBHcj

I wish I got to experience the older games like chaos theory.

34 Upvotes

I couldn’t experience those games because I wasn’t even born yet, (I’m 2006) and so growing up, I first got introduced to conviction. I thought it was still a good game though probably because I was just a little kid. (I still like the game till this day.)

when I’m able to, I’m definitely going to play the other games though.

Double Agent v1 (2006) Does DA V1 have the same enemy AI as previous entries?

11 Upvotes

So I was replaying DA Version 1, and I noticed one guard keeps spinning around right before I grab him, he's the one in front of the open cargo container in Iceland. I figured that maybe the steel container floor is giving me away, and because there's no sound meter, I couldn't tell, so I climbed the cargo container, jumped off and landed right behind the enemy (on the snow), and he didn't hear a thing.

If the enemy AI is programmed the same as CT for example, then that makes the HUD removal even more stupid. This also leads me to wonder, is ambient sounds a thing in the game? It could be given how inconsistent enemy AI is in this game.

Would love to everyone's thoughts on this, and the enemy AI in this game in general.

 I have a question Splinter cell Double agent or Blacklist.

Post image
146 Upvotes

I'm trying to decide between Splinter Cell: Double Agent and Splinter Cell: Blacklist, both of which are on sale on the Xbox Store.

I don't have any experience with the mainline Splinter Cell games. The only ones I've played were the Game Boy Advance and Java mobile versions back in the 2000s.

I'm torn on which one to buy first. Some people say Double Agent is the better game, while others recommend Blacklist. I am aware Chaos Thoery is the best one but I cannot find a way to play it on my xbox 360.

Which one would you suggest I experience first, and why?
