Speculation time: The Crew of Fourth Echelon | Forums

[mortified13]

Extinction is just a fan series, but I looked close at the picture and Corbin was the first thought that came to mind. Thats all.

That would be pretty cool if we actually had a nemesis for Sam in Blacklist, someone's who's equally capable as he is. Chaos Theory had that great twist of Sam's old friend turning out to be the bad guy in the end, so something kind of like that would be a great story/gameplay addition for Blacklist.

But even Shetland wasn't Sam's equal.
I'd love to see Fisher finally encounter the yin to his yang. An intellectual, physical match. You could play it three ways...
Sam becomes obsessed with catching him.
[He] is obsessed with killing or besting Sam. Maybe he's an MI6 agent gone rogue who's heard something of Fisher's exploits; has ties to Megiddo and thinks that he's the better man.
Or you could play it straight, and they're both totally professional about the antagonism between them.

Like I said, this thread is for speculation. Go nuts.

I'd prefer it played straight. Avoid the pitfalls of overly dramatic story telling. It can often be good but the game needs to be grounded in reality more IMO. I wouldn't mind an equal though....

Don't know hoe they'd show they were equal though haha

I don't know either.
Maybe the villain outsmarts Sam a few times or bests him in close quarters combat. I think we need to see someone bloody Sam's nose, especially after how invincible he seemed in Conviction.
I think having someone beat Fisher in some way would help humanize him.

@BRIGGS: EVAC IN PROGRESS (Page 1) Oh right, I missed that...

Here's the MI6 picture.
Care to speculate?

That's Jadid, the second guy you interrogate in the gameplay demo.

Gimme a second and I'll get pictures up to compare the two.

Man that is awesome, I didn't notice at all, you are hell of an asset, it seems he may have been an MI-6 Agent gone rouge ?!

Thanks.

I typed "Jadid MI6 agent" into Google and found this article which confirms he was an undercover MI6 agent who defected to al-Qaeda.

Exactly, I wrote what I wrote cause I remember hearing/reading about that, maybe you posted it somewhere else earlier, Good Stuff, Good Stuff.

Nice find. So that's one theory out the window. Ahaha. Oh well.
I'd still love to see Sam meet his Apollo someday. A match that would challenge and threaten the very best of what Sam has to offer.

What's everyone's thoughts on Grim?
Love her? Hate her?
Theories on why Sam's chosen to work with her after all that has happened?
He turned Grim down flat when she was pleading him for his help.

"Things change, Sam."
"Yeah. Things change. Remember what you told me. When this was over, everybody walks....I'm walking."
"You can't. There's too much left to do."
"Ask Lambert. I've done too much already."
"Sam, please...I don't know who else I can trust."
"Trust. Funny you should say that. Goodbye, Grim."

He made it pretty clear that he not only doesn't trust her (for good reason), but also has no intention of working with her again.
Earlier; before they went to confront Reed, she tried to apologize and he basically shut her down.
So why the change?

When I emailed Zack, he said that there's some "SERIOUSLY heavy stuff," and implied that there are some very good reasons for Sam's return.
But what could those reasons be? Especially after he had been so adamant about things during the conversation in the Oval Office.
