    I just played like 6 games on Aquarius. God this game is still so good.

    But old xbox live behavior dies hard. Spy runs out of lives and quits, first game ends, spies both quit before having to play as merc, like it's a punishment or something.

    Did the game get preceded by having to wait like 5 minutes while everybody bitched about who has to be merc? Not the full experience unless that happens.

    Boy did I end up playing a whole lot of merc! (I don't even understand why people refuse to play it, its fun. though it does get tiring after 3 matches when they still refuse to let you have a chance at spy.)

    Oh god, I remember loving splinter cell when it first came out, and having my friend bitch at me about how Splinter cell was "ripping off" metal gear because only metal gear is allowed to have stealth gameplay guys.

    edit: never had a chance to play multiplayer though, shitty internet connection.

    So far people have been pretty cool. It's a new age of online gaming!
    no it isn't. but so far pretty good.

    I've seen plumbers, electric mice, a 10 year old kid and a princess named peach beat the shit out of Snake.

    Snake is a cool guy but he isn't a very realistic portrayal of... whatever black-ops thing he's supposed to represent.

    My point was that Sam Fisher behaves like, you know, an operative.

    Solid Snake sneaks around in box, fights wolves, gets in gunfights and battles what might be the most incompetent force of supersoldiers the world has ever seen. I mean, shit, haven't these people ever heard of checkpoints? Radio intervals? Search teams?

    Yeah, I always loved how everybody was all over snake and how awesome he was at being a stealth operative type person, and how stupid it was that Sam Fisher was ripping it off or whatever, even though snake would whip out an M4 or RPG or something and blow everything to hell.

    Snake is definitely your man if your enemies are insanely old crippled snipers, guys who can control bees, psychics, one-armed old guys with two arms, or barren chicks.

    Yeah. Except without the fashion sense.

    Speaking of James Bond/Solid Snake; the "Snake Eater" song almost kept me from playing MGS3.

    I didn't like the first splinter cell. It was neat, but it frustrated me and never really interested me. Is chaos theory better in the single player department?

    Also, I'm playing MGS2: substance on the Xbox right now for the first time, and the gun controls are just awful. He keeps trying to put his gun away when you rapid fire and the response is just horrible.

    so I'm just meleeing now and it's so much easier. Just run into a guy, trip him, wait for him to get up and break his neck. Loot body for goods. Repeat this 20 times every level.

    Maybe the first one.

    Chaos Theory is different. You can whip out your shotgun attachment or whatever and go to town if you really want to.

    But I don't. I like to play the levels, killing everyone silently. Well, not killing EVERYONE... if they give me info I usually just knock them out.

    I like the Splinter Cell games except Double Agent

    How the fuck can you be in snow camo in a blizzard on a WHITE cargo ship and still get spotted from 40-50 feet away? Like the fuckers sone even investigate its just like POW alarm triggered. I never got past that level.

    fuck splinter cell

    I mean I guess it's a serviceable series if you don't feel like playing metal gear for some reason, right, and I never got into the multiplayer

    but what the fuck is the point of your brightness meter if the guards decide to investigate the shadow you're crouching in when you played a fucking flawless stage up to that point

    at least in MGS you can switch to your M63 and hold fire until snake screams if that kind of SHIT happens.

    I've never understood the Splinter Cell/MGS comparisons

    they're completely different. Like you can call them both stealth games I guess, but even with that they have totally different ideas of a stealth

    ... the multiplayer was pretty awesome from what I heard.

    Also splinter cell did have a fully automatic rifle in some parts.

    but yeah, they are very different games. Metal gear was a hell of a lot more cinematic than splinter cell.

    If Sam Fisher fought solid snake in a cut scene, solid snake would slow down time and dodge every single bullet same would fire, backflip off the ceiling (because Solid Snake can do that sort of thing) then break his neck using his toes.

    If Sam Fisher fought Solid Snake during actual gameplay time, Snake would run round in circles trying to attack Sam while Sam would stay still for a second and shoot Solid Snake in the head.
