This game is not Splinter Cell. Also, removing Michael Ironside thats a big No-No

How do you know it's not splinter cell? I assume you've played it? or maybe you're just one of those bitter gamers who hates game evolution. Conviction forced gamers towards action true, but the makers of this game have stated that this will be accessible to all types of stealth gamer. The "This is not..." brigade are getting tiresome.

[RTheRebel]

Change is good, but when you favor generic action in a game like Splinter Cell which is primarly a STEALTH game; Now that ticks me off.
Stealth Genre relies on Tension, not shooting a group a people with a Assault Rifle ;)

[webley]

You have missed my point entirely, which I expected to be honest, given your original post. There is actually a spectrum of gameplay options that are on offer here. The Assault rifle route has been shown to attract interest to the product, but this IS an OPTION. Games evolve to suit all tastes, deal with it.

Zach DOES mention that there this two ways you can play this game. He also says that there is a Classic, Hardcore mode, just for you, where it is all about Stealth and it's not an option whether you want to Assault or Stealth mode a part keeping the Splinter Cell roots/foundation there.
