Actually I think the first part is the Fatherly Flashback scene, because after the flashback when Sam shoots those guys, if you look closely on the wall to the left you see it says in Project Text, "Protect Your Family."
the fatherly flashback scene is in the middle of that video, when Grim destroys the lights, the screen goes white..then fatherly flashback comes into, where sam explains the dark and M&E then it returns to the game. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I have to admit that the cut scene with Sam explaining the black and white desaturation to Sarah was a clever and innovative idea, both as a way to logically justify the screen desaturing when Sam goes into the dark and also to serve as a glimpse of his relationship with his daughter while she was an infant. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/clap.gif
Although, I'm not too happy about the scene where the three intruders who break into Sam's home. Why are they there?
I know that their purpose is to introduce the Mark & Execute mechanic, but this is (literally) just hitting too close to home.
The Sam Fisher in the original Splinter Cell had no problem keeping his professional and personal lives separate (well, until Double Agent), but now we're suddenly presented with a scene where Sam kills a man through hand to hand combat and then shoots two other men dead while his daughter is sleeping in another room. My inital reaction was "WTF?" and it still is. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Same here. I think M&E should be introduced with another flashback when you are in front of a group of enemies. And then use a flashback where he is learning the CAR System at the Navy Seal Base in 1995, 1996. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Don't you mean 1985, 1986? During CT's bank mission Grim gives Sam the intel his SEAL team gathered in 1989.
On topic, I think the home intrusion works fine. It goes with the whole paternal motivation of the game, and it makes sense that Sam's family would be put in danger.
And with Sarah so young, it's possible the he and Regan are still married at this point, so "Protect Your Family" makes perfect sense. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
That's my point, Regan died in 1989 when Sarah was four years old.

Sam has had several variations of moves and abilities that only show up in some games and not others.
Could he alway switch hands, use a knife, corner grab, half split jump, corner grab, aim around cover.
Conviction being a marginal rewrite of the SC universe we should expect to see some changes. The way Sam uses his gun is just one of these. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
You said corner grab twice.
Sam learned trained to become ambidextrous in between games. What I don't like about ConViction is flashbacks in it claim that Sam knew the Center Axis Relock way before he ever became a splinter cell, which is both implausible and technically impossible (unless Sam is secretly Paul Castle).
Also, who are the three men who invade Fisher's home?
