Re: Anyone who sucks at Splinter Cell wanna play?
a few quick tips( thanks to the gamefaqs guys for some of these tips).
as spy:
General tip. You can tell what vision mode a merc is in by looking at his
visor. Red is motion, so don't move, blue is electro so turn off your vision
mode and don't use your laser pointer or sticky cams, and yellow is normal.
Mercs are extremely vulnerable while running around in electro vision, so run
behind them without having any vision modes on for an easy kill.
Zapping a MERC about 5 times will cause a system overload. The wont be able to use alot of what helps them get the spy
remember that in neutralization, you can start neutralizing one of the vials, run away, then come back and the timer will start where you left off at when you first left.
use the binoculars!!!!
the MERC:
Most people know this already, but for the new merc, keep in mind the laser pointer will highlight players in an easy to see box, even if they're in the dark or far away. Scan a room quickly with the laser pointer to pick out spies
who are hiding, not moving and not using their equipment to show up on electro vision. Just keep in mind, you don't have your sound radar on while using the laser pointer. The torchlight will light up an area, but it has limited range. The laser pointer does not.
Phospherous, and frag grenades look the same to a spy while in flight. If you think a spy is hiding behind a wall( but aren't sure), you can usually scare them out by using a phospherous grenade instead of a real frag. The real
frag grenades are too valuable to go launch them around if you aren't sure of a spies location. Plus, if they WERE behind the wall, and didn't run, they would then be lit up with a nice glow in the dark green for quite some time.
if a spy grabs your buddy in a choke hold, you can try to snipe him in the head.
If you can, have the volume of the game turned up high, or pick up a surround sound stereo system. In addition to your sound 'radar', you can HEAR the spies through the speakers of your TV or stereo system. You can hear them bang around in vents, or breathing heavily when they're climbing across a pipe or rafter. You'll also hear when they shot mines in distant rooms, etc, etc. Basically, anything a spy does that'll make noise, you can hear through the speakers of your system.
In maps where there are air ducts and vent shafts, look at the bottom part of those things. You will see dust falling from them if a spy is in there.
Look me up if you want to play a few games.

I know I'm not half bad, but I do get my *** handed to me quite a bit...especially on Warehouse. I am a lot better as a spy now, learning the ins and outs of the levels, along with being a lot more patient helps a lot. Just takes time to play and get better. There are a lot of people out there (Terry's the one off the top of my head) who can just make me look foolish
