Splinter Cell: DA | XBox360 | Help,FAQ [Spoilers]

[Novaoblivion]

So I just picked up the game, and I thought I heard it was possible to do split screen co-op and or versus? Does anyone know to do this? Me and my brother want to play. :)

when you go to the rooftop by climbing a pipe at the end of top floor of guardtower. You will see a guard is escorting jamie. ( climb up the pipe quick, while you are climbing the pipe , jamie says something is wrong).

At this point you can just run toward jamie and the guard will notice you and look back. Thats when jamie will kill the guard. Or when you are at rooftop, sneak behind the guard and knock off the guard yourslef.

Thanks for the help. (Y)

I messed up and saved right after the part I was supposed to take care of, and I was to lazy to go back and do it all again. I am sure I will play that level again in the near future, so I will take care of it then.

Thanks again. :yes:

Quick question: Does the game have subtitles? Otherwise it'll be a bitch for me to know what to do :/

[Remysaus]

everything they say can be found at your objectives...

just push back on the controller go to objectives and click the objective you want to see some usefull tips in order to complete it.

Is there a way to replay individual missions?

[Lingwo]

Go to Load Game and then select mission instead of progress and i believe you'll be able to select a mission from there.

I just reached mission four, so far the best looking level so far, also just found out how to use my nightvision :p

[Neo003]

I got the bad ending does anyone know how to get better ending.

I need some help on the first JBA level:

Once I have been on the rooftop and planted the bug on the antenna, I climb down the ladders and make my way to the server. But each time I try to approach the keypad locked door, I'm spotted by the guard. How the hell do you get past him?

I managed that bit by turning the light off next to the door!

Two Questions both in regards to the Multiplayer aspect of Chaos Theory. Both relating to playing with friends.

Question # 1

Has anyone gotten the Invite A Player option to work while not being the host of a game online?

The key words here are while not being a host...

Today I got game invites to play with two people on my friends list. Neither worked successfully until the second friend was actually the host.

The first person who attempted to send me an invite three times was HazyRenots420. Every time I went to join it said The Host Has Ended The Session and it did not say The Sessions Is Full as I have seen it say once or twice. So basically I could not get into the room at all.

Then me and my boy jerzdawg, who is a good friend of mine in real life as well, wanted to play together online with other people. So we try doing it as we were on the phone. We sent each other invites, and we could never join the other persons session they were in, same error message as above about the host ending the session. We tried it both through the game and through the dashboard. Literally The only time the Send A Game Invite option worked was when one of us happened to be the person hosting the match.

This leads me to believe you cannot invite a person to play online with you unless you are the Host itself?

Does anyone know if this is indeed how it works? That you can only send an invite to a friend successfully if you are the host?

For the record CoOp works fine when sending invites.

Question # 2

Hoping to play online with just a little more ease, Anybody here want to make a couple of Squads?

Due to the frustration me and jerzdawg went through trying to join matches and sending each other invites, we decided to try the squad option out. From what we saw, it appears it will be easier to actually find matches online, and play with friends while doing so, easier while in a squad. The problem is you need at least three people, and it appears the Squad can be up to six people, so if all six people are online, you just play against each other is what I am thinking without actually doing it.

So if you can indeed be a member of more than one squad, which it appears you can be but I could be wrong, I propose that a bunch of here make as many different squads among everyone here. I am hoping that by doing this it will be more hit than miss trying to find a player to serve on quickly.

Basically it has taken me anywhere from 1 to 15 minutes to actually join an online game, almost all because people are not patient and do not wait more than 15 seconds for all six slots to fill. I just tried before, and for literally 15 minutes straight, I would join servers, ranked an unranked, and the host would quit the session for no apparant reason.

Finally when I did find a server to play on, the guy had no patience and just launched the match with 4 humans and two Bots. No need, he was just impatient.

Summary

I understand the whole squad thing, I think if we can join as many different squads as possible, it just might be easier to join online. I am thinking aach person make their own maybe?

So has anyone used the Squad option in depth yet? If so is this how it works, is it indeed quicker to get online to play?

And again, was anyone able to successfully invite a friend without being a Host? If so how did you do it?

[Neo003]

I never liked the online multiplayer thing in splinter cell, you have only limited number from 2 to 3 for each team it's hard to get someone other than ur friends. I want someting like 64 player match that will be a HOOT . :D :D

Hit a snag here....

Im at the JBA HQ Pt 3. I need a hand with the cracking of the e-mail and or a general walkthrough of the mission. thanks

After you complete training, or before it does not matter, the antenna is on the roof. You get their by going up the ladded you see on the floor training is on. It brings you to a floor where guys are working on something. Walk past them as they are working, and to the right is an opening which has a ladder to the roof. On the roof are two guys walking patrol, get down their patrol as you are now in the restricted area. The antenna box is towards the back left of the roof. You will find it eventually. It needs to be picked then hacked.

The uploading the bug to the server has nothing to do with the emails. When you walk down those steps, go to the left. There is a door you have to hack. Before doing so, turn off the light right next to it. Also hide in the locker to let the guy below to the right disappear. Hack it. That piuts you in a smaller room, and you then have to get into the next room with a door and camera above it. That is the server room. Getting in and hacking the server means there are three guys to deal with total. The server you have to hack is up the stairs in the back room all the way to the back right, not at the desk the guys are working at.

I do not want to tell you exactly how to do the mission itself, but that is more than general walkthrough without the details. If you need more help just ask.

Not to be a bitch here, but; is anyone else getting the constant "kicked out" message when the host isn't kicking you out?

[Sheppard]

Gotta say the JBA HQ levels are definitely the weakest part of the game, they frustrate the hell out of me.

[Remysaus]

I think it's a great game, like the new approach with the whole trust thing.

but just when I was really getting into the story, they quickly tie an end to it, which is a shame imo, they've could have easily put an extra mission in before the last.

though it was pretty cool that you got that little bonus mission if you watch through the credits :D

[crackhbob]

Yea I liked the true ending mission, though it was kinda short. I thought it was funny as hell that I only got 100% stealth on the last two missions, and pretty much stunk on all the rest. Oh well, gives me something to go back and do I guess. :)

[Seabroo]

i seriously miss the online co op missions like in chaos theory :(

[Trong]

Just in case no one noticed it, on the 2nd JBY New York level, if you crawl under the pool table and try to come back out, you will get stuck in the ground.

Just an FYI thing. Love the game.

[Remysaus]

After having played through the singleplayer on all difficulties and having seen all endings, I must say I'm a bit dissapointed.

don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed playing it, but come on, it's waaay too short, the story is quite cool but at times it just feels like they cut some missions in between. Some time before the release I've read some things about the story, like there would be a love story between sam and that woman from the terrorists, did I miss something or was that just not there? (unless you call the little dialogues they have in that cruise-ship mission flirting :p) also, I've seen vids with some train rushing somewhere? or was that just promotional footage.

All this makes it feel like they had to cut out a lot of stuff near the end because they had a release date set, but that could just be me..

[Seabroo]

^ how come you dont have the completed it on hard achievement then...?

...the downsides of having your gamercard as your sig...

LOL. I clicked on his gamertag last night and forgot why when I saw it a few minutes ago. Then I remembered this thread. I was just about to post the same thing. :rofl:

[Remysaus]

Eh? wtf, I did :/ I saw the ending credits after I defused the bomb and it was def. at hard.

edit; I just checked, but I was wrong, i finished it on normal a couple of times but aparently didn't go further than the first mission on hard :s

at least that explains why I found it so easy :')
