Just bought Splinter cell chaos Theory (PC)

[Alan Freeman]

Wow This game is freaking AWSOME :thumbs: Just cant figure out how to cut there throats. I thought it was possible.

[oldagerocker]

SC controlls always confused the hell out of me :p

[Datrix]

Cool, I am planning on getting it tomorrow. Keep me updated on all of its awesomeness. :D

[Hazar]

GIMME!! :D

oar: how? they're pretty much the same as any other game :p

[Zeus]

You lucky little....I ordered mine and it should get here tommorow

[poseyjmac]

is it legal to make a backup of the DVD? i picked up the collectors edition the other day, and id like to keep the real DVD out of my drive and in the tin.

anyone successfully made a copy yet? ive heard it uses starforce protection, and it somehow binds your key to the cd somehow. not sure what program to use.

[Bad^Hat]

Will give it a hire on Xbox when I comes out here tomorrow. Also gotta try Brothers in Arms...

[staticprimer]

Wow This game is freaking AWSOME :thumbs: Just cant figure out how to cut there throats. I thought it was possible.

I don't think you can slit their throats, only knock the out. Of course, that can't stop you from throwing their unconcious bodies over a cliff! :P

[Prince of China]

It's possible to slit people's throats. You can only do that if you haven't grabbed an NPC. If you have grabbed an NPC, you have the option of a lethal, or non-lethal attack. If you decide to kill him, you knee if in the spine, which kills the person, if you decide to let him live, you choke him. If you want to slit someone's throat, go to the side of the person and press primary fire. It's usually different, sometimes, you might stab the guy in the back, sometimes, you slit their stomachs and sometimes, their throats. It really depends on the angles.

[Alan Freeman]

sweet thanks , the game is really good i love tossing bodies over cliffs and killing people while they are asleep. im on the bank level trying to steel 50,000,000 in bonds. hee hee. and the ragdolls are really good in this game.

[Moto-x_Pat]

I'm l33t. :naughty:

I know I've put this up before, but since you are talking about how you kill everything, I wanted to point out that I kill nothing. My version of Sam is a humanitarian or something. :laugh:

[Iced_Eagle]

My problem is, is that I LOVE LOVE LOVE that knife so much, I barely use my guns... I just love sneaking up to people, then just knocking them out, or killing them if they smell funny.

Yeah to slit throats you gotta be on the side, and hit mouse 1 (primary fire)... For a non-lethal takedown hit mouse2 (your sucess rating will be higher)

Coop is buggy though :(

[Datrix]

Coop is buggy though :(

How buggy? Are we talking unplayably buggy or just annoying?

[Doppelgofer]

i've just heard voice comm doesn't work for now ...but even that does for some

plus a few people have had trouble joining other peoples games

edit: i've just got mine through the post right now :D

[Varsity]

Is the 1.01 patch for US versions only? It's all a bit confusing after using Steam for so long. :p

I've got April 1st from Amazon.co.uk. The problem is I just got an email saying:

We wanted to let you know that your Visa is being declined
by the issuing bank.

Sometimes a card number will experience one or more failed attempts before
it is ultimately authorised, and we will retry your payment card shortly.
To avoid further delay, you may want to contact the bank to resolve this
matter. Alternatively, if the card has been updated or revised in any way
recently, we will need to receive that new information so that we can

It is not necessary to place a new order, but if you would like to update

Damnit.

[Dumb Dude]

HEY: Alan post some screen shots, what graphics card you got ?


He has an x800 Pro 256mb card. It says his whole system in large red text in his signature. :p

[Axyon]

Got it preordered, so it should arrive tomorrow. I've opted for the Xbox version though, since SM2.0 isn't supported on the PC version, I might as well play it on a TV with SM1.1

[Varsity]

It's great fun! Sometimes gets a bit frustrating thanks to a lack of autosaves (which leaves the addictive quicksaves as the only option) and when the AI knows too much (throw a nade and even if they don't see it moving they will know where you are). But still, it's fantastic. :)

[Varsity]

Euro patch is out, you can run the updater to get it.

[big_king_frosty]

few, its out now then? Am goin to the shop tomorrow and if its not there im going to be severely pi**ed. I hated waiting for HL2 all those months, ive cleared all my plans for tomorrow, going paintballing next Friday!!!

Arnt people payed to play through the games to check them of bugs n such, so why do we only hear about them when the game is released, why not fix them first!?

[Zeus]

Ok great. The game finally got here....after waiting ALL week...and its....the xbox version. Unbelivable, never ordering from gamestop again.


I'm keeping the xbox version and they better send me the pc version before this weekend or I'm going off on them

[Doppelgofer]

well after assing about all day trying to get coop working and them just releasing the eu patch a few hours ago, i managed to have 2 quick goes on the training mission

the voice comm works and when you shout into the microphone it does affect your surroundings and guards, etc....one MAJOR MAJOR flaw in coop is it runs horribly....which is completley none understandable as the single player runs like a dream. its mouse lag to hell and back and theres just no reason it should

apart from all that though, the game i managed to have was good....it was only the training mission though cos i told a mate i'd wait till he got it until i played it proper...the throwy thing you can do with your spy team mate is brilliant...the animation on characters is brilliant aswell

as soon as they smooth out the performance problems, i'm sure it'll be amazing

spies vs mercs is as excellent as it ever was even know i only had a quick do on that

oh well hope to play whoever of you picks the game up sometime

[Zeus]

Anyone have a link to the US law that states that I'm not entitled to return anything mistakenly shipped to me, but I can still get my original order if I supply the order details? Please help me out

[Alec_85]

is it legal to make a backup of the DVD? i picked up the collectors edition the other day, and id like to keep the real DVD out of my drive and in the tin.

anyone successfully made a copy yet? ive heard it uses starforce protection, and it somehow binds your key to the cd somehow. not sure what program to use.Tin makes me think you're talking about HL2 :D What are you talking about? I haven't seen anything about a CE of Splinter Cell 3?

Edit: Now I have read a little about the CE. Cool. Hope I can find it cheap in a few months :) Probably. Found 2 CE's of Warcraft 3 for more than 50% off about a year after its release :E I consider myself lucky :D

[Zeus]

I've been googling for an hour now, I've already went off on them on the phone, and I will be calling them back. They told me on the phone they sent me the fedex label to my email but they lied. NEVER ORDER FROM GAMESTOP.COM because I swear I just want to kill someone right now. How could they have POSSIBLY got that wrong?

[thehunter1320]

:laugh: Holy shit, in 3:36 that is freakin' in the quickness!
yea, i'm a beast at SC:CT

[Datrix]

For those of you who have played the game, how many CGI cinematics are in it?

[Zeus]

I'm so annoyed right now I could be enjoying co-op all I want to do right now is just....urggh I just want to choke someone out

[Datrix]

I estimate three hours before I can go get my copy. (unless they're sold out)

[Axyon]

Holy crap I am so in love with this game. I'm only on the second level and I've had to realign my dropped jaw more times than I can count. The graphics are simply stunning (but we all knew that from the demo), and what's even more amazing is that the Xbox version is very much comparable to the PC - I'm totally serious, just add a touch of AA and it'd be hard to tell the two apart. Sure, I don't get SM2.0/3.0 effects like parallax mapping (not that I would anyway, having an x800) but it seems to be like that's just the tiny layer of icing on a five-tier behemoth of a wedding cake... if you catch my drift.

[Jangle]

i dunno, i have no money, so i am going to get either this or battlefield 2 when it comes out. i dunno which one will be better..

[big_king_frosty]

Its such an awsome game. I have just palyed it for like 4 hours! Once you get on a level you dont just go one way, you can go back and fourth and re do parts, deead cool. But my controll on the multi player is all screwed up, everytime i try to put active camo thing on he throws a nade or sumthin even when it tells me what to press!?

And there is a sound issue too, if u dont move i get this very loud low pitch noise building up getting louder and louder. drives me nutz

[Bad^Hat]

Just gave it a hire, quite liking it. Have redone the first mission three times, still getting used to the controls again (played the first on PC through till I got bored, skipped the second). Just tried coop with a friend, didn't seem all too great, and we were tired so we just ended up going around bashing doors into one another and seeing who could shoot out the most lights. Great fun :D

[jimbo118]

i heard there are only 10 lvls,do they mean 10 missions or levels?like is the lighthouse demo lvl 1 whole mission,meaning theres only 9 others or was it 1 lvl of a mission

Im only on the 3rd mission of CT but, so far, id say you skipped the best of the 3.

[ray_MAN]

That was it. However, once you get farther into the game, the missions get more complex and there are like 3 missions spread out in one level.
Mission = objectives
Level = setting/map

[jimbo118]

yeah i know but in past sc theres were a few lvls to each mission you know,thats what i mean,is each lvl 1 whole mission?

[Samon]

I have just got it and - WOW. I am addicted, I can't turn it off. I'm only at the ship mission, but hell its brilliant. The graphics are stunning and go hand in hand with the gameplay.

Wow. Again.

[ray_MAN]

yeah i know but in past sc theres were a few lvls to each mission you know,thats what i mean,is each lvl 1 whole mission?
I would say yes, but I am not positively sure. Multiple objectives, freeform maps, and different ways to do it will add to replayability, so ten maps isn't bad. I really want this game, but I need it to go on sale first! :flame:

this is what i mean,splinter cell 1's first mission was split into different lvls

POLICE STATION : (MISSION 1)

LVL1: The Burning Building
LVL2: Blaustein's Apartment
LVL3: Walking the Streets
LVL4: The Police Station

most missions would have a few lvls,usually 3 or 4,like the oil stations first lvl was simply getting inside

I also need it to go on sale

They were all the same level, but they were seperated by load times. What they mean by levels I believe are settings. The penthouse mission in CT will probably have different missions and parts to it. I hope I am going in the right direction.

[jimbo118]

yeah but they lighthouse lvl wasnt as long as that sc1 mission was it?meh as long as its longer than the the first games i dont care

[Axyon]

yeah but they lighthouse lvl wasnt as long as that sc1 mission was it?meh as long as its longer than the the first games i dont careAccording to previews/reviews, the lighthouse level is by far the shortest in the game. Heck, it took me around two hours to do the second mission.

Took me an hour and ten minutes, which i still thinks quite long, I'm on the bank misson now...its genius ;)Yeah, just started the bank - up to the rappel. I'm really liking the music this time round... in the other games it didn't seem to stand out so much, but it's rather smooth and jazzy in CT (especially the bank level).

Alright Im through with this I just fedex'ed them back their package and they said they aren't sending me anything until they get the xbox game back which will probably be at least monday. I'm through with this I'm getting a refund and I'm buying it in the store this is complete and total BULL and I will never deal with these guys again

[KU_]

I picked it up the 29th, and beat it the 31st. Great game. Co-op is almost unplayable. Everytime I try to access a server it won't allow me, and when I do, it disconnects me for no reason. But, I got a quick question. Do you guys keep the game in the drive when your done playing it, or do you take it out every time your done? I don't know if you leave it in if will scratch the disk, or mess up the lens. Anyone?

Amazing screenshots, Doppelgofer. I really want this. I might splurge, and go out and get it.

very nice, amazing graphics,

turn on the AA ?

[ríomhaire]

I played SC1 and it was terrible, there was no fun in it.

[Zeus]

This SC is supposed to be the best because it has non-linear levels and of course the knife. Of course I can't confirm this since gamestop messed up my order

[Datrix]

Is the co-op as buggy as I'm hearing?

I haven't tried playing it yet, but I hear that the voices(between the two players) are a little bit buggy.

[KU_]

Co-op is really buggy right now. It's so hard just to get into a match, and when you do, it kicks you for no reason. Ubi really needs to release a patch. It's not even enjoyable. The people who tested Co-op need to get smacked, they passed up a ton of obvious bugs.

I beat it in 3 days. There are 10 missions total, each taking a little longer than an hour. I played about 3 missions a day. All together, I would say I played about 12 hours of single player on hard. The AI get's tougher as you progress, and the last mission gets uber hard. The ending was a little disappointing though. And yea, I have Co-op patched and it still runs horrible.

doppel,you said your near the end so is it very short?

its not short to be honest...i just have a habbit of speeding through games and i'm a long time splinter cell game player

i completled it at about 10 tonight....absolutley fantastic game...the levels just get better and better. coop though in my opinion, RIGHT at this moment in time, is quite broke

sometimes it works, sometimes it runs with a really bad fps, sometimes games don't connect, sometimes you get disconnected midgame...they REALLY need to sort it cos the actual short do i managed to have a proper go on the training level was really fun

anyhow, i recommend this game to you all...sam has a LOT more character in this one and they EVEN MAKE A DIG AT HALF-LIFE 2 AND GORDON

Doppelgofer, where do you find the pump on the second level?

Go into the room where the guy is grinding something. Kill him and look to the left. There is a crawlspace there.

Noooo! You gotta be kidding I was looking in that room for an hour...I must need glasses. Thanks, I'm off to go play again now...

Yea, this game rocked. I beat it in about 12 hours. I think it's the best in the series by far. I think I am going to play through it again, after I am settled in at school.

OMG! i just played the COOP for like 2 hours, its so awesome! Some parts of it arranging a take down with your team mate is awesome. The way you have to work togeather, one after another moving down corridors n stuff. And when you do the upsidde-down on a rope, mission impossible thing its just soo cool, snapping peoples necks n stuff.

There is a couple of bugz tho, my model turned into a stick man when a lighting problem occurred and me and my partener were behind 2 people ready to shhot them at the same time, i shot my dude, my parteners didnt die, we emptied like 2 magazines in him and he was still complaining about the lights.

I think someone needs to get their priorities right! :p

Do you guys keep the game in the drive when your done playing it, or do you take it out every time your done? I don't know if you leave it in if will scratch the disk, or mess up the lens. Anyone?Why would doing that damage anything? :s

Who else spotted the reference to Gordon :P

[Axyon]

Who else spotted the reference to Gordon :PI haven't yet, but I did find something else that was funny;

There's two guards in the Hokkaido mission talking about Ninjas, and one mentions how he saw one on an oil rig a number of years ago. An oil rig - sounds familliar, and can you guess who that Ninja was? ;)

Hmm i wonder if it was during the time of the Georgia incident ;)

The reference to Gordon Freeman is on the mission just after Hokkaido, cheeky bast**** :p

[StardogChampion]

I just got this game today. I'm on the Displace level. I just interrogated an engineer near the start and he's like "Who're you?" and Sam replies "Harry Tuttle". Ahahahaha, that's the name of Robert De Niro's character in one of my favourite movies Brazil. Harry Tuttle was a CIA type person posing as a heating engineer.

Woooooot.

I'm kind of disappointed that there are so few levels though, only 10.

[Shippi]

Hmm this sounds quite good. I played the demo of SC1 on Xbox, I couldn't get the hang of it :( But I'm gonna try since these SC games really do look awesome fun

Finally got this game played sp for hours on hard (after 30 times going through the demo I am already a pro at CT). The versus mode is pretty tense and scary at times (very nice). But the co-op mode does not work. At all. If you even get the opportunity to join a game it freezes while trying to connect. Ubi better release a patch PRONTO or else heads will roll considering co-op is the main reason I bought CT and they hyped it up so much.

[duffers20]

There is something different about the new SC, i don't like the way you can kill people with teh knife. I know in previous games you could kill people with teh rifle or pistol, but creaping up on them and knifing them in teh back or slitting there throats seems too much for me, probably sounds nannyish but i think it spoils the whole stealth aspect of the game. Havent played the demo yet so i don't know what its like when you do cut there throats but i think it would spoil it, need to find out. Apart from that it seems like a really cool game, i own both SC 1 & 2 and they are both very good.

Are you kidding me? How is sneaking up behind someone and killing them with the silent knife, too much? It makes the game so much better. Instead of doing the same attack each time, you can do like 4 at will. It makes for some good times. For example, want a quiet knock-out? Sufficate them a bit. Want to kill them, do the lethal grab move.

Frankly, I'm having tons of fun in this game. Each level takes so long to beat, which only makes it better. BUY THE GAME!

There's tons of great little moments, like when they make fun of the 3-alarm system from Splinter Cell:PT, or when you interrogate one guy and he thinks you're a ninja, it's all great
The small number of levels is really made up for in length and replayability with different paths and trying to get a 100%, and then there's co-op and multiplayer - there's a helluvan experience on that little disc

[oldagerocker]

Are the controls still screwed up? I played Pandora Tomorrow and i was well confused... :( Space wasn't jump... Ctrl wasnt Crouch.. arrgh

[Prince of China]

I have a question about the game. How much does it differ from the demo aside from the fact that one is a retail version. Are there more graphical options? Is the performance better?

I don't see any new graphical options. (atleast for my video card) I find that the demo ran a bit better on my computer than the retail version does, but they still both run good. :) Also I like flashlights (weren't in the demo) and the CGI movies in between each level. :D

[Axyon]

Heheh, I love this game so much - I just found another poke at a game. On the Kokubo Sosho level I interrogated one of the guards that has a tazer, and Sam asked him to give him any extra rounds for it. The guard replied: "Hey, it's not like you can shake me around and I'll drop ammo on the floor!"

;)

I just finished one of the worst levels in the game...
The level with all the destroyed buildings and the helicopter drones. Totally sucked balls.

[jimbo118]

eurogamer who are massive sc fanboys only gave it a 8

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=58575

"It's still an eight, but only just"

[KU_]

Since when was an 8 a low score?

[StardogChampion]

Once you realise there's no punishment for leaving dead bodies where you killed them or any real incentive to avoid setting off alarms you stop playing the game with the same degree of skill that you once did.
Dead bodies punishment - Enemies finding the bodies and being alerted.
Alarm punishment - Guards get more armour with each alarm.

Did he even play the game... I think 8 is around the score I would give the game anyway, or maybe 7.5.

[Alix Mcdean]

ROFL. Dude I love this game.

Coop is da bomb. Played for 3 hours last night with a buddy on COOP. only ran into 1 bug(I was being dangled from the roof but a guard came and killed me while danging, my buddy could let go of the rope to come down and save me, ended up havving to restart the whole map D:.)

Tons o fun :D

[Zeus]

This game is quite good, the versus is great and works great, but the co op just does not work. I managed to finally get into a game last night and we were able to play a whole 3 minutes before getting disconnected, not to mention those 3 minutes that I played were very laggy...

[jimbo118]

well coz eurogamer are massive fanboys 4 sc,i expected them to give it a 9 or 10,i mean thy gave bia 9,also most reviews have given high 8s and 9s,they also said it just scraped a 8,its not a low score for me,i just thought they'd give it more but 8 seems right i guess

After reading that I expected something rushed off to meet a deadline, but no. I agree with most of what it says - even stuff I disagreed with before!

Well if anyone wants to ATTEMPT to get a co-op game up and running give me a shout on xfire (name: tumadre165).

BTW they are working on a co-op patch supposably here look

:D

Found a funny thing in SC:CT which I thought I would share with you guys :P

In one of the missions, a woman tells you to open a casing to tap into the BIOS memory of a missle launcher. Sam replies 'I didnt bring my Crowbar'. The funny part is the woman says 'whatever, crowbars are for Geeky videogame characters'.
