Was Sam a fugitive at the beginning of Conviction?

[codenameeric]

The xbox demo and facebook game certainly led us to believe that Sam was a fugitive ("your mission is to find Sam Fisher.."), buy alas, the game avoided the subject entirely. All we got were general, vague statements like "America killed him." Lame.

The CE comic gave me the impression that he was.

I never fully understood why Sam was supposed to be a fugitive in the first place..

Was it because he was in with the JBA? If so, that was his mission, and the government should know that it's "okay" for Sam to be there, as it was assigned to him by 3E.. If it's because he killed Lambert, well - I kinda get that - But still, it seems a little wonky..

Yes, they did.

I'm glad that someone else thought that Vic's opening dialogue was lame.

Yes, it gave me that impression too.

With you...I thought ALL of Vic's dialogues were lame.

and WTH do they mean by "America killed him?"..god such cheesy BS. The loss of his daughter and friend effed him up....not some sacrificial mission for America

The books Conviction and Endgame, both focus on the hunt for Sam Fisher.. (From two perspectives, Sam's, and the team tasked with hunting him)..

I'm not sure they ever gave a real reason into the hunt of Fisher...

mmmmm, William probably was a traitor or working for Meggido, or maybe he just didn't like Sam, once Lambert got kidnapped he began to make false evidence, and change things, so Sam would appear as a terrorist when he joined the JBA, and by Sam killing Lambert it worked for him even better, so he sent the SWAT after him in the JBA, and also on the boat with the last bomb, Sam then goes into hiding, get caught in SCE, escape, and hide again in Malta, where Grim finds him and SCC goes on, so basically yes, he was a fugitive who was off the radder until Grim found him

But at the beginning of Conviction, in the cafe in Malta - Grim says, "We're Third Echelon, we've got an eye on everyone"..

That would lead me to think they knew where Sam was the entire time..

I don't think so, if they knew Reed would be on his tale, sending an Assault SC team to get him right ?!, but i believe Grim found him, told Kobin to send merc after him, then contacted Sam, and that line was just for the look you know
