Maybe you should hide and let the mercenaries run right by.

I said there was no option like an example would be that there was no crowd because everyone ran away and the Mercs found you unless there was any shadows to hide in they would start and endless search for Sam so he is forced to start shooting like a madman and later on the police would arrive but maybe thats a good thing because the the police would be fighting the mercs provind a window of opportunity to escape. So shooting like a madmand might actually create a diversion to keep two enemies fighting each other.

No place to hide? In Splinter Cell?

Run up to a hotdog stand and press the stealth button. Maybe Sam will dump the dogs out and get inside.

Modern hay stack.

Um, but seriously, there will always be a place to hide. Like I said, the last thing I need to see to prove to myself that this game has a good stealth mechanic is the ability to follow what is the norm, run away with the crowd and pretend to be yet another helpless victim fleeing for your life. If they're chasing you, chances are you'll be able to lose them in the crowds.

Ubisoft isn't going to take away the shadows and then make the crowds cheap.

Who knows maybe this time we might get shadows and even more options like I said you start a gun fight then the police comes and start to fight with the mercenaries then you run away like if nothing happened.

I dunno, I doubt it.

But if mercs are chasing you, it's probably a result of tactical failure to stay hidden in the first place.

Probably because people are taking my bad advice and shooting things.

Don't listen to me, you'll last longer that way.

I am so excited for Splinter Cell Conviction. I totally support the new gameplay mechanics and attracting new fans. I think that this game will be an instant hit. Splinter Cell with Sam Fisher might be done with after this game, but I do believe they should continue the Splinter Cell series with perhaps a new character like one of the coop splinter cells or something. Maybe Sam could be the new "Lambert". It's too early to give up the series when all of the next gen consules are out...

Do you even know if Lambert is dead. Hes not and I know it.

I never said he was dead... He might be he might not be. We'll find out later this year.

That's a good question, especially if you've played the Wii version
