Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction Out Now On Pc Ps3 and Xbox360

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction the new game from tom clancys games
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction is the fifth installment in the Splinter Cell video game series. The game was developed by Ubisoft Montreal, developers of Splinter Cell, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and the sixth generation versions of Splinter Cell: Double Agent. Key members of the Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas team, such as creative director Maxime Béland, also worked on the game. Gameloft will also be creating a mobile version of the game for the iPhone OS
Splinter Cell: Conviction introduces a number of new gameplay features to the series, one of which is the "Mark and Execute" feature, which allows the player to mark specific targets, such as enemies or objects, and shoot them when they burst through a door or window. The player can choose to prioritize these targets, so that, for example, he could distract one guard by shooting out a light in his vicinity and then take out another guard. Another new feature is the "Last Known Position", which occurs when the player breaks the line of sight of an alerted guard. This creates a visual silhouette of where the guard thinks Sam is, allowing the player to strategically flank his enemies. Main target subjects can use the player's abilities against them. The player can be taken hostage by the subject in co-op mode; the hostage's partner can neutralize the subject by shooting them or grabbing them off his teammate.[5]

Other new features include the ability to interrogate characters in real-time and use objects in the surrounding environment against them. Several other features, such as blending into crowds, improvising gadgets, and interaction with the environment, were announced, which according to creative director Maxime Beland would have given the game "a lot of Bourne Identity influence", but were scrapped after the development team decided that going in this direction would be taking too much of a risk.[6] The environment is also used to project mission objectives and key plot points onto walls in order to keep the player immersed in the gameplay during the narrative.

One of Ubisoft's stated goals for Conviction was to make the game more accessible.[7] According to Beland, Chaos Theory is "very hardcore", which turned off many players and disillusioned people from the fantasy of being Sam Fisher. Beland contrasted the earlier games in the series with works containing James Bond or Jason Bourne, who "run fast, they don’t make noise, they kill one, two, three or four guys super quickly" and stated that Conviction delivers a similarly dynamic experience with a emphasis on action
Single Player
Taking place two years after the events of Splinter Cell: Double Agent, former Navy SEAL Victor Coste is held in a Black Arrow facility interrogation room as he is interviewed by an unidentified group of men, recalling events in the past tense.

After having disappeared, Sam Fisher is remotely located and contacted by former Third Echelon colleague Anna "Grim" Grímsdóttir in a marketplace situated Valetta, Malta. He is warned that a group of hitmen have located him. Sam dispatches them and interrogates the leader, Dimitri Gramkos, learning that drug runner Andriy Kobin was responsible for the death of his daughter, Sarah. Sam learns that Kobin is present in his mansion, a re-purposed museum. Upon infiltrating the mansion, Sam interrogates Kobin and learns that the situation was "bigger than his daughter," prior to being captured by Third Echelon agents.

Sam is relocated to Price Airfield in Virginia, where he is to be interrogated by Grim with support from an PMC called Black Arrow. When they are all alone, Grim kills a guard and reveals that she is working with President Patricia Caldwell as a mole inside Third Echelon, and that she needs his help with investigating Third Echelon's director Tom Reed's relationship with the PMC. A reluctant Sam refuses to help her, but relents after being told that Sarah is alive, and that she would prove it to him during the course of the investigation. Grim facilitates Sam's escape from the airfield by providing him weapons and access to her car. After this point, Sam calls in his former squadmate for assistance in the investigation, in part of Victor having rescued him during the events of Operation Desert Storm. Sam meets with Victor at a county fair in the Washington Monument in Washington D.C., receives some equipment, and learns that White Box Technologies, a R&D (research and development) company specializing in EMPs, hired Black Arrow for corporate security, which is considered to be out of character as Black Arrow does not provide such services.

Sam heads to White Box Technologies and witnesses multiple scientists having been murdered by Black Arrow operatives. Fisher saves one of the scientists and learns that Lucius Galliard hired Black Arrow to provide security, and that a Black Arrow officer known as Robertson has been collecting and disposing of experimental data with EMP countermeasures. On the way to Robertson's office, Sam then gets a short phone call, facillated by Grim from Sarah, revealing that she is still alive. Sam then reaches Robertson's office and downloads the data for Grim's analysts to study. He later triggers an EMP to prevent Black Arrow's tracing of the download in order to maintain Grim's cover, which also kills Robertson.

Sam is later directed to the Lincoln Memorial under orders from both President Patricia Caldwell and Grim, infiltrating the area to record a conversation between Reed and Galliard. Sam then interrogates Galliard, who reveals that the operation was funded and organised by an unknown group known as 'Megiddo', with Tom Reed being just 'hired help'. Before he can reveal anymore, Galliard is shot by an unknown gunman. Sam pursues the gunman, only for the gunman to get killed by a car bomb. Sam is later drawn into a confrontation with Third Echelon agents until he is extracted by the Secret Service.

Sam infiltrates the Third Echelon headquarters to recover equipment from a Third Echelon employee named Fryman) and retrieve information from Reed's office. Instead of finding Reed, Sam re-encounters Kobin and interrogates him again. Sam learns that Reed was working with Megiddo to smuggle EMP technology into the United States, and activate that technology as cover to assassinate Caldwell and have the Vice President take over the position since he was "in Megiddo's pocket." As a result of facilitating the assassination, Reed would then be promoted within the higher ranks of the government and be considered a hero. Kobin later reveals that he never knew anything about Sarah and only provided a false body to stage her death, urging him to ask Grim as she knew the whole story. Sam confronts Grim (via video communication) with the information he learned, and is urged to listen to an audio recording of former Director Irving Lambert made shortly before his capture in New York three years before. Sam learns that Lambert had found out that there was a mole in Third Echelon who planned to use Sarah as leverage against Sam and therefore, compromise him. In order to protect both of them, he staged Sarah's death as a car accident and secured a similar looking body from Kobin, in order to take her 'off the playing field' and allow Sam to to do his job. Despite this, Lambert concludes that he wasn't able to locate the mole, and that his efforts may have been in vain.

Grim later tells an enraged Sam to stop one of three EMP attacks at Michigan Avenue, stating that Sarah's designated apartment is within Michigan Avenue's blast radius; while Victor recovers Sarah. Grim would accompany Reed to the White House in order to halt the assassination. Sam then escapes Third Echelon when Reed activates the self destruct protocol, destroying the building. He then gets to the EMP site, and destroys it with the help of Coste and his helicopter. Sam is then extracted by Victor and has a brief reunion with Sarah before the two EMP attacks commence, destroying most electronic devices in the city and causing general chaos. After the attack, the helicopter is shot down by a missile. While Coste takes Sarah to safety, Sam journeys through downtown D.C., and infiltrates the White House while confronting Black Arrow, Splinter Cells and Third Echelon assault troops in the process. After 'securing' the corrupt Vice President, Sam regroups with Grim, who shoots Sam in the shoulder so that he can get close to Reed, appearing to be a hostage.

Upon entering the Oval Office, Reed prepares to execute Sam and the president. It is revealed that Caldwell was going to shut down Third Echelon and leave "America vulnerable to future attacks", and to prevent this, Reed planned to frame Sam for assassinating the president, as supposed proof to the country that Third Echelon was necessary. As Reed gets close to Sam, Sam disarms Reed and he and Grim kill Reed's Third Echelon escorts. Sam interrogates Reed while U.S. Army soldiers extracts Caldwell. It is then revealed that Reed was the mole Lambert was looking for. Depending on the player's choice, Sam or Grim execute Reed. If Grim executes Reed, Grim confides in Sam that he is the only person that she can trust, but Sam says that he no longer wants to be a part of this and leaves.

Black Arrow's interview with Victor has concluded, with Victor stating that Sam would be with Sarah to "catch up" and that Sam loved him like a brother. Shortly after Victor finishes his sentence, an explosion places the building on alert, implying that Sam is assaulting the base.
