Quote:Precise aiming is required of Splinter Cell because in stealth games require one shot one kill, and in some situations, do it quickly and in succession. Tom Clancy games by far and large do not forgive you for missing shots or taking too long to place a shot.Precise aiming yes, quick frantic aiming no. Unless you're completely helpless with an xbox controller, head shots in SC are not a problem.
Quote:I get the feeling you're not much of a PC gamer to know and appreciate the difference. Its definitely alot harder to make these kind of adjustments efficiently on a joypad. Everything about the feel of Splinter Cell is exceedingly superior on the PC, coming from a player who's experienced both. I haven't gone through the entire single player mode, but I've done the multi. I can give a testimony for SC1 as well. The console version definitely sucked ass compared to the PC. I played the Gamecube version, that thing was just impossible to control and the Xbox version wasn't much better.Au contraire, I play lots of PC games, and I'm afraid that it is you who has a narrow view on this matter. I have a PC, X-Box, GC, and PS2, and have no biases when it comes to multiconsole titles. Since I can play the games on any platform of my choice, I always get the best versions. It seems that you are helpless with a console pad and in that case it's understandable that your only option for SC is to use a kb&m.
Quote:Maybe theres missing new level updates, but Ubisoft will have to support PC version of SC2 sooner or later. MS has paid off Ubisoft to give them a select amount of exclusitivity, but it will end sooner or later. Who ever heard of a PC game that wasn't supported with extra downloads when they are readily avaliable, lol.Don't hold your breath. To this day Splinter Cell for the PC still hasn't gotten any of the several extra levels that the X-Box version did, and I'm pretty certain that SC2 will be no different.
Judging by these posts it's clear that you don't know the real advantages and disadvantages regarding the different versions of SC 1 & 2.
Quote:And isn't voice support avaliable on PC ? I hear people using it online, but I never use it because I just prefer to type chat.
It's supported but only a small fraction of people actually use it.
