Not a bad game, really got to learn stealth, run and gun didn't work after the start scene helicopter crash.
I thought firing a silenced pistol would be ok....

Anyone else seeing these creepy animation glitches? Happens to me at random.

Single player is fine.
Multiplayer has problems like freezing and hardly being able to successfully join a friend's game after they've invited you. The freezing in particular has put a lot of people off even bothering.
Hopefully Ubi releases a patch to fix it.

Oh man...I was liking this game so much, I thought it was too good to be true, then I got to a certain mission in Philadelphia......no spoilers. But man....who the hell thought that was a good idea?

Exactly my feeling last night, but am pretty sure it wasn't philadelphia. The game does force you into certain encounters - like they all have - and its been a matter of pure trial and error for a few of em.
Also, I broke a laptop doing that same death from above move - felt like a dumbass - but it was a learning experience.
My first campaign run is all about experimentation.

For you guys who are getting good performance on PC, are you running it Windowed or Fullscreen?

Are you playing on PC? I am looking for someone to tackle the coop only missions sometime.

I'm getting huge frame drops on my 7970. I can run the game perfectly at 60 fps on ultra (no AA) at 2560x1600, but the second I play as Mercs it drops to sub-30. Something to do with the first-person effects, I guess?

I got more than two thirds of the way through the game before realizing the speed toggle was on the capslock button. Would have made approaching heavies oh so much easier before I bought the stealth nano suits.

I'm just curious if there was another sneaky way I didn't notice.
I'm loving this game. My stats are around 70% Ghost and 30% Panther. I always get tempted to just walk away from enemies but the thought of knocking every enemy out or shooting them in the head with a silenced pistol is just too tempting.
rescuing Kobin without getting detected. I managed to do it just by peeking through corners and shooting the guys in the head with my silenced pistol.

I'm playing on a controller. That's weird, was Conviction like that? I remember the older game would just control the movement speed with the mouse wheel. They should of just stuck with that.

Wish I had known about this before my playthrough... resulted in 2 combat KOs :/

Xbox here. Still trying to carve time nightly to get some quality splinter cell action in.
The gunplay here is so much better than its ever been that it can be pretty damn tempting. Saving ghost for future runs lets me really try to get a feel for the different weapons and takedowns and do some more exploring that may be more difficult on ghost runs.
And holy hell at those Charlie missions. Did the first one solo. What a strange experience to solo in a Splinter Cell game. Horde(ish) with some objectives thrown in? Should make for some good times in co-op.
And yeah, fuck dogs. No mercy from me
Is it more CPU heavy or GPU heavy?
I have a relativity decent GPU, 6970; but my CPU is an old Core 2 Duo e8400. (waiting to next year to upgrade my CPU)
I play at 1680x1050 and I normally get a framerate of around 30-50 with most things on max in most games unless they are ridiculously CPC heavy.

What a fricking joke.
Come to play it and it won't even start in fullscreen mode and because it starts in a window no matter what settings or inis I edit crossfire won't work because it doesn't work in windowed mode.

classic SvM is so damn fun, just wish I wasn't terrible at it
I haven't really had problems with dogs outside of them knowing where you are if you're on the ground. :/ Even through doors, which I guess is realistic but annoying as shit.
Anyway: Grim Mission 1: Laptop: Solo, yes? No?
Settings->Video->Your fullscreen resolution/windowed: no, fullscreen->Apply->????->Profit?
It should save the settings after that. The only issue I have is the game windowing in alt-tab but going back and setting it back to fullscreen fixes this.

You can also use the execute move with the taser. That's what I done, and it counts as undetected take downs and you obviously won't get any kills.

Doesn't work. Every time I set fullscreen, quit, restart game it starts in a window.

About 1 hour in, and it's okay so far, but when did Sam Fisher turn into a cross between Michael Westen and Shepard? lol And I'm pretty sure Conviction had better facial modelling and animation than this.... oh well.
Doesn't work on Perfectionist since execute is disabled.
Whoops, didn't realize you're playing on Perfectionist.
I hadn't actually known the tactic in the video before. I'll definitely keep that in mind for my eventual Perfectionist run.
Wait, he's got the tri-rotor. How the hell does he have that? Is that one of the co-op missions?

If I remember correctly, there is a time limit that you must go under to get a score bonus at the end of each mission. I did not care very much about this statistic, but there are many time sensitive situations during normal gameplay like having to kill enemies before they discover the bodies you left behind, being on the verge of being spotted and so on.

I don't think Conviction had different speeds because there was no sound detection. You were either jogging or sprinting. Certainly possible I missed it though. And I'd have preferred it be on the mouse wheel as compared to the Capslock. They have weapon switching on the mouse wheel which was useless to me because it was only your two main guns, not your crossbow.
In his videos he explains that he did all of Grim's missions first to unlock a bunch of stuff before starting the campaign.

Bah, I really like the customization in SvM Blacklist, but the spies' invisibility is so overpowered. I think they should only be able to melee-kill mercs from behind, it's too damn easy to 1. Turn invisible 2. Run up to merc and one-shot him.

Curious about this too.
I don't understand why there's a need to swap discs at all considering you can install them both.

I'm assuming that the multiple disc SKU on Xbox 360 is the reason Redbox isn't carrying this? Damn.
That's good news if true.
Talk to charlie some and you'll get it. I have it but choose not to use it.
same here. sometimes it'll just stop working for no reason after a SvM match, but unplugging and replugging seems to fix it. and sometimes i have to go back into settings and switch from keyboard and back to gamepad for the game to recognize it.

Played some Spies VS Mercs last night. I am really digging it overall, but my main gripe is the spies overpowered melee kills. They at least have to change classic mode where spies should never be able to kill in front of an enemy, it should only be from behind. Spies can even upgrade there outfit to increase the range of the attack, making it so the Merc has to melee way before a spy gets close. Also, I also think the spies electric stun attack is way too long. I can shock a Merc and just rush in for the kill.
I hate that we have to "hope" for a damn patch when it comes to third party games. If this is hurting multiplayer right now and people are complaining about it, as they should, that could very well stop others from buying and kill any chances the game might have had of building a community. Yet I expect Wii U owners will be blamed in the end.
