splinter cell 3 to include adversarial mode!

single player + cooperative + adversarial. looks like that delay will be put to good use. day one.

http://www.worthplaying.com/article....thread&order=0

it'll have all 3 adversarial modes from the last game, plus a new one:

Quote:

Disk Hunt will be the secondary game mode.

Each level has a second game mode called Disk Hunt. In this game mode, a certain number of disks are placed through the level in a random manner (from a certain number of possible positions). The spies must retrieve a certain number of them in order to win (spies win when they possess the required number of disks). However, when they die, the disks they are carrying drop and are lost. When this happens, you should do everything you can to retrieve the disks without being discovered.

i'd post screenshots, but they all seem to be from the single player.

edit: screenshots attached.

WOO HOO!! Today I am a happy happy man, this is the news we've been waiting for!

Thank you lord. Thank you. GOTY 2005

Theres multiplayer screenshots in there, post them bitch

Theres a couple screen shots here

http://www.splintercell.com/uk/archi...c632345a0#8193

post them yourself. bitch.
and even though they're displayed under the multiplayer heading, i'm 90% sure they're not. the mercs don't have helmets, so how would they have a hud?

edit: thanks, jed.

The top three pictures are of multiplayer. Trust me.

oop. must have missed those. i trust you again, dave.

march. don't worry, i'll still pwn you in halo. at least that's coming out this year.

games made from the ground up for the xbox sure look purdy.

So March is the release date, that gives me about 4 months on Halo 2 till I crack out on this :D

After Halo 2 comes out I'll still go back to SC:PT often before this comes out.

With all this talk of how great SC:PT multiplayer is, I wish I hadn't sold the game. God bless deactivating all the nodes in the warehouse before anyone knew what hit em!

Yeah, the truth be told, the game is only that great if you don't play with cheaters. As long as you have a core group that you play with, it is the shit!

Agreed, I never ran into the cheaters though. I bought the game the first day it came out, then typically played with people I knew, but I could only imagine the spawn camping that went on.

---

It's actually the Glitching and Transporting that cheaters take advantage of to win, but there was a few instances of spawn camping also. We play deathmatch as a made up way to play the game when we only have 3 people this game is going to include it as one of the options. Wouldn't it be cool if you could play Mercs VS. Mercs in the death match?

Yeah, Merc vs. Merc would be bad ass. Dave has been saying that for a while now.

I hope you've played a LOT of Halo 1.

What's up with the stealth suit thing in the first pic? I haven't been following the news about SC3 that well.

Now if only Ubisoft can learn to program AI...

Seems like it's got the makings of an IGN molehill-turned-mountain.

From what I gather it's an "other system only" game making it's way to PS2. I own all three major systems, so I doubt I'll care.

Perhaps (depends on if you care about the game), but it wasn't IGN that made it a mountain. Jeremy just said something on the IGN boards.

:td: :td: :td: IGN BOARDS :td: :td: :td:

So when do we find out the "big secret"?

tonight. it has nothing to do with splinter cell, btw.

It probably has nothing to do with anything that anyone gives a shit about, considering it's IGN

So what was the big announcement? I didn't see shit at IGN.

I think the "big news" is that Psychonauts is being release for the PS2. Fits with the hint MarkRyan gave.

Meh?

-Dippy

that would certainly be worthy news.

*edit*
nevermind.. for some reason, I was thinking *Policenauts* when i read psychonauts..
I couldn't give two shits about psychonauts.

Heh, I did the exact same thing when I first read about the game. "OMGWTF Policenauts sequal?!"... then I realized it was just some stupid platformer (or whatever the hell it is). Man, I felt stupid. :sweat:

-Dippy

*sheds a tear for tim schaefer*

wish he was still making adventure games.. maybe psychonauts won't be terrible.?

Looks like someone was being cautious after the way gaming-age reacted.

It's the same thing I said in the Gaming-Age thread on page two.

update

Quote:

---

SCCT is a huge game including one single player mission campaign, one co-op mission mode and new features for the versus adversarial mode. Besides being Xbox Live 3.0 compatible, the versus mode, developed by Ubisoft Annecy (creators of the adversarial mode in SCPT), introduces new elements like a new bash humiliation move for sentries, cooperative actions for spies, new gear, and more. Oh, and cheating issues encountered in SCPT have been fixed.

Those screen shots are awesome, hopefully more people will catch on and play this time so my loose cannon self will have an extra room to play when my friends don't want to play with me.

Damn, those shots are the freshness. I give Ubisoft credit for maintaining that kind of quality while churning out new titles as quickly as they do.

"no body wikes me, evwybody hates me, im gonna eat some worms!!" ;)

those shots are SWEET. But whats up with the acrobatic spies cuttin flips in every shot?

Maybe they're like ninjas and they're fucking about to flip out and kill people.

New Multiplayer trailers up at www.gametrailers.com. Damn this looks fucking tight. :D

sexy. please don't fuck this up, ubi..

Camo suits?

Oh man, that 360 spin is totally going to be my new move

Bah, That moves going to suck for spy players. Whats to keep mercs from spinning around like tops from hell at all times. So much for neck breaking...

It's probably only useable when you know someone is behind you.

They know better than to put game destroying moves in the game.

yeah. it was always frustrating to get grabbed when you knew exactly where the spy was, but you couldn't turn fast enough.

rookie!


I watched this movie last night and, although it is really dark and hard to see it all, it looked fucking sweet!

As much as I hate Dave having more Merc moves at his disposal, I'm sure the thought of me having cloaking as a spy is equally threating for Dave. It looks like the rivalry will hit new heights with this one Dave ;)

Did anyone notice that at almost exactly 2 minutes of that video the spy in thermal vision shoots out lazers in a doorway and it sounds like a gun instead of a tazer? It could just be place holder sound FX but it's got my interest.

Also the Merc had 2 different sounding weapons also. :D

I noticed that too, but they've already said that the Merc's would have machine guns, uzis and something else.

There seems to be another movie up there now that is titled Multiplayer HD. I can open the link but nothing runs. Anyone else get this to run?

2 more things I noticed.

1.When the spy is shooting the door lazers there is a meter(sound) that pops up on the right side of the screen at the exact moment he pulls the trigger.


2.At about 1:50 you see motion vision through the mercs eyes. It is a mirror image of the real screen shot. The Mercs new meter that appears above the weapon box and the weapon box itself are on the right side of the screen when in every other shot they are on the left.

I paused to see why it was like that and the name of who killed who is backwards too.

The HD trailer is the same as the other, it just takes longer to load. The grenades sound different when going off also.

some new info

http://www.1up.com/do/feature?pager....=0&cId=3137773

Deathmatch mode seems pretty cool, (for those nights when Dave leaves us high and dry;) ) and revised maps from Pandora sounds great too. A revised Schermerhorn would be sweeeeet.

Sounds really cool, the only thing I hope is that once a merc does the berserk mode one time that it takes around five seconds before he can do it again kinda like the bull charge. I didn't say anything about the mask working against sticky cams only smoke, which is a good thing.

I also like the fact that you can pick up un-used sticky cams. I bet the gas mask will protect against stickies, but since its got limited use, you'd have to be stupid to run around with it on, waiting for a camera to go off.

Some footage from the beta:

http://scaredscriptless.com/images/j...es/sc_beta.wmv

Its lookin good...

New revised museum trailer up on www.gametrailers.com. It shows a lot of straight through gameplay time as a merc. On the second trailer it shows gameplay of the spy.

cool trailers, but damn, those dudes frekain SUCK. I knew that dumbass spy was gonna get jumped on. :lol:

Man, I love Splinter Cell. Even the stupidest little things look and feel so cool in this game, I love it when my teammate gets blown up in front of me like that. After I shock the merc, I dont stick around though.

God damn those guys blow. That spy landing on his teammate reminds me of the first time I played and Latro was showing me around. I did that very same shit to him.:lol:

The SCCT beta is now open to the public! Didn't know if that was common knowledge yet.

You can join up here.

I'll throw up some impressions once I've played some games (too busy learning the maps last night).
