There's no need to fear the new "Mark and Execute" feature in Splinter Cell: Conviction (PC, Xbox 360), so said Ubisoft Montreal producer Alexander Parizeau. This "fear" he was talking about is the voiced-out concern of gamers that the game may be made "too easy".

The Mark and Execute feature essentially allows the player to mark of the enemies for the kill, immediately snapping at the target, and taking them down in one swift action. Explains Parizeau, "Have no fear at all. It's an added tool that lets you do the first step when storming a room or area or a situation. But you'll have all the tools that you used to use as well."

WTF!?!? Are you following me???

Furthermore, this was included to reshape the traditional meaning of stealth.

Stealth -- in the past -- has always been treated the same way. It was more like a defensive tool. What we wanted to do is give tools to the player to be more on the offensive, but remain stealth.


No cardboard boxes for you here then, I guess.

Why should they have stayed with the PT formula when Splinter Cell 1 and Chaos Theory were both better games???



The closer this new game is to Chaos the better, that game was one of the best last gen. I'm liking what I see in videos

I liked what I saw at E3 WAAAAAAAAAAY more than what they were first showing. SC is my favorite video game series and I wish they would have stayed very close to CT. What I saw at E3 looks good though.
