Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop: In the "Transit Yards" mission, Sam tails Sadiq's lieutenant into a subway station, wherein the lieutenant takes a Human Shield.Badass in Distress: Sam is poisoned during one of the infiltration missions (at the Abandoned Mill), prompting Briggs to head in himself and rescue him.Badass Crew: Sam assembles a team of elite operatives from several different agencies.Bonus points for the cheery little Christmas song that plays when you're slitting terrorists' throats. One mission in particular has you infiltrating a shopping mall. An Ass-Kicking Christmas: The game takes place around the holiday season.And Now for Someone Completely Different: The final level has the player controlling Briggs for the first half - which is only revealed once he reaches Sadiq and reveals his identity after captured.Actionized Sequel: The game was at first shaping up to be even more of this than Conviction, with a variety of new offensive moves such as running "Executes", but it also features more stealthy options to accommodate, ample opportunity to stealth one's way through every level without being seen or so much as killing a single person like in games of old and an added Perfectionist difficulty that takes away melees from the front and Mark & Execute.The rest of the level is fairly easy to sneak through, though), and Abandoned City outright forcing you to get detected and gun down waves of enemies at the end of it (Despite the level having Undetected and Non-Lethal checks, they are impossible to achieve due to this). Briggs' side missions too, with a UAV section at the end of Smuggler's Compound that is almost impossible to sneak through (The only way being to make sure whoever is currently controlling the UAV doesn't fire a single shot, and the player on the ground carefully picking off the snipers, dogs and sentries with gas bolts and proximity shockers while moving forward and hiding as best as they can from everything else), the second half of Missile Plant requiring you to knock out or kill a huge number of enemies, the scrapyard at beginning of Voron Station being very hard to get through Undetected (The first sections having two dogs and a lot of guards in a small enclosed area, and the second having multiple guards and Heavies that need to be killed or knocked out to progress including a HVT, with both sections having a huge number reinforcements if you get detected. Charlie's side missions focus on killing or knocking out huge waves of enemies with few hiding spots, the enemies already being on alert, and more and tougher enemies as the Mission goes on and you progress through the waves.Ironside would return in 2018 to voice Sam in a DLC for Ghost Recon Wildlands. Fisher was voiced by Eric Johnson instead.
SPLINTER CELL BLACKLIST SUIT SERIES
The game is also notable for being the first in the series not to have Sam Fisher be voiced by Michael Ironside, for he had serious health issues at the time. The gameplay is similar to Conviction, but with more stealthy moves and faster action. Meanwhile, several of America's enemies have banded together to give the US an ultimatum: remove any and all American military presence in their countries or they will launch "the Blacklist", a series of escalating terrorist attacks on US targets. Sam Fisher is now the head of a new clandestine organization that works directly for the President of the United States - Fourth Echelon. The story takes place six months after Splinter Cell: Conviction. Splinter Cell: Blacklist (or Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist) is an action- stealth game and the sixth entry in the Splinter Cell series, released in 2013 on Seventh Generation consoles and PC.
