Try and join me on the rooftop in the land mine courtyard of Abattoir part 1. Just a few wall jumps here and there and then this will hence give you a second route on getting to the antenna lol(yes there is a way down to the balcony from the roof)!! See the joy of playing Splinter Cell 1!!




I'll make a video on how to get up there when i make one.

Arg, now you made me have to reinstall SC1.

LOL! Sorry mate!
Trust me the view is worth it. And this isn't official as i havn't fully tested it but this method has the potential to cut of around 20 seconds. Not much, i know, but still its quicker.

Dang, can this be done on the Xbox version?

Give some hints on where to do the jumps?

Good find. So much for the levels being 'linear' lol.

This is the xbox version and i guess it will be the same for the PC version.

Ok, i'll give you a hint lol. You need to jump near this rooftop obviously, so if you go to the open doorway where you double jump into the crawlspace...well instead of going in that little room, look on the right of the doorway for the degrading wall. Try up there.

As i said, this is why i love SC 1. The wall jump provides so many opportunities lol.

Since this thread started, I tried the location you hint at. I had troubles making the jump from there but then again, I sometimes have troubles getting the more usual jump there too.

There's one really tough wall jump that i sometimes get first time or it may take me quite a few attempts. I know it isn't a fluke or a glitch because i've gotten on the roof over ten times. It just takes some real patience. And as i said it offers a second route which is potentially faster, not just a show pony thing lol.

Huh, the reason I thought it was the PC version is that the bottom 2 screenshots in the original post have the PC style menubar at the bottom.

Well if it makes any difference its on the xbox version the 360. I don't even have the PC version and know anyone who does. When i have the time i'll take a shot where i can prove its the xbox version.

I don't think you need to do that. But I would love a vid showing how you do this. Nice find, by the way!

Cheers. Well, i've looked at some PC SC1 screens and the script and the ammo count in the bottom right of the screen is much sharper and "boxier" than the xbox version.

I will make a video, however it will be one without any guards as i've killed them all so i have no interruptions lol. Just give me a few hours.

EDIT: OK here it is on youtube, though if you want to download it PM me and i'll give you the link. Remember you don't have to view it straight away i you're want to work at it.


Splinter Cell: Abattoir Part 1. On the rooftop

Great, thanks buddy!

Couldn't resist watching it and can't wait to try it out. This is something I'd have never thought of myself, a bit similar to the way The Message and scworld deal with the very first part of Chinese Embassy 2, it simply never occured to me before I saw someone do it.

I try to think like the message and in doing so i have created a few little cool methods from getting to point A to point B quicker. All my insperation comes from him as well as danielHAC, also a great player. That chinese embassy Part 2 at the beginning is absolutely awesome thinking though i havn't included it in my walkthroughs as it is the messages. I'm playing through SC again looking for anything and so far i'm up to abattoir part 2.

No need to prove that it's the Xbox as I can tell now that it is (I loaded it up). I just thought the framing on two of them looked pc'ish, but it was just the view from a sticky cam - I'd forgotten how it looked so long ago, LOL!

I'm trying it out today, and will see your video when I'm done.

I know what you mean. The Message's walk-through for SC1 is to say the least inspirational. Daniel Hac's for PT is also excellent. If you keep discovering things like you did in Abattoir, yours will be worth watching as well. I've tried what you did a few times now and it is quite difficult. I keep messing up right in the middle, it's very frustrating but I'll get it eventually.

Lol. I understand your frustration. Sometimes i get it first time and sometimes it takes me 10-20 minutes lol. Keep at it and you'll definately get it!

And i'll keep looking. I'm almost done with my walkthrough site. Just adding the final page. I've done up to DA on the 360. But it'll be a few more months until i get the xbox version down. I've only played it twice so i'm looking forward to it.

WarriorOfLight-in the video i've actually pressed the select button to bring up the xbox control menu to show its the xbox version.
