nekrosoft13 Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 And what the hell is the deal with it invoking windows file protection, what the hell did it replace. ok you're the 2nd person to say that.. screw this, i'm not installing this dodgy demo. The dialog appeared twice, so it obviously replaced 2 system files. shag know what they were. Knowing my luck, I've downloaded a dodgy copy of the demo which has installed shaging trojans or something. i had the same poop i had it pop up once, so it replaced one file probobly and when i start the game the tree is blinking :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicane-UK Veteran Posted December 19, 2002 Veteran Share Posted December 19, 2002 Whoa! This wouldnt work for me but just installed the new Nvidia 41.09 XP drivers and it works like a dream - No problems AT ALL!! (AMD1400, GF3 Ti, 1Gb)Does look like the final game could be good - I especially like hanging upside down off the pipes on the ceiling (wonder if you can grab people or jump on them??) - Just gimme more lock picks and more ammo! :ninja: Looks like the first Tom Clancy game thats actually worth playing - I thought the others were all rubbish! This is gonna blow Metal Gear Solid away! Good work UbiSoft! :D (Damn! Registered for nine months and this is my FIRST post! Cool!) Hey! How did you get the guy to hang upside down on pipes? I got loads of other cool tricks to work (spilts jump between two walls, hanging off pipes, rolls, etc) but didnt know you could hang upside down?? Please tell! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Dragon Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Now I'm back outside. Theres a guy inthe corner. Now what?Man, this is hard! :/ Okay.... Okay... Here's what you do - I'm assuming you're back outside and there's a gate there? The guy in the corner is crouching in fear, right? You grab him, drag him to the shadows and knock him out. Go back inside and backtrack until you get to a long hallway with a pipe on the ceiling. On the right side (it should be right from your view now) there is a sliding glass door that's automatic. Go through it and follow the room until you get to another door. Crouch and open it. Peek in and check to see if there's a guy in the close-left corner. If so, shoot him, then shoot the camera and walk into the room (you'll find out what to do next.) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell!:)) While hanging on the pipe press crouch. :DD HEKTIK - If you drop on someone while they're under you, you slam down on them with both fists and knock them out. Also - on the top floor, if you make your way to the far left door, there is ammo in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Dragon Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Also, if you haven't figured these things out yet - Go up to a wall and press <q> to put your back to it. Then shimmy to the corner and press and hold that direction to peek out. While peeking press <e> to take out your gun and shoot around the corner. :happy: Btw: What's with everyone and ammo? This game is about stealth. You can make it through the whole level using only one bullet, and it's easy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordtroll Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Night Vision is messed up on PC true...unless you own a VERY high end PC, if you have an option between the XBOX and PC i'd no doubt pick up the XBOX version. Looks better imho. I've got Splinter Cell for XBOX, the XBOX demo and the PC demo by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiGhTfast Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 xbox v is miles better i doesnt feel right on a monitor+keyboard and the night vision is messed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 if you are comparing to this xbox nightvision then i must say that pc verison has more realistic colortheme. there's much more green in real nightvision than on xbox. however on the otherhand, real nightvision does washout during bright light like on xbox..w/ pc version you can look at any lamp and still see everything around you. and let's not forget 1280x1024 8xFSAA leetness :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreams_Hopes Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Didn't they say that the night vision is not final in the demo or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dysphoria Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Yeah, also if you run towards a wall and press jump, and then jump again, you can jump of a wall. I guess it works the same as in UT2k3. You are supose to be able to do a split between two walls so you can hang down and shoot, I still can not figure that one out.

BroChaos Veteran Posted December 20, 2002 Veteran Share Posted December 20, 2002 yeah, the readme says that it still has problems with some higher resolutions, and that the night vision isn't final. right now everyone's comparing a beta to a final.

Dazzla Veteran Posted December 20, 2002 Veteran Share Posted December 20, 2002 This is simply not as good as the Xbox version. Graphically, it ****es on it. That's to be expected, 1280 x 1024 with everything on Max and 6xAA and 16xAF on, there's no comparison. It's the controls, it kills it. It's too cumbersome, admittedly if you had a kick ass controller with Dual sticks it'll be ok, but the majority of people will be playing with a Keyboard/mouse combo. The xbox pad is perfect for this. Actually, I tell a lie, the Xbox controller is poop for this, the s Controller is perfect for this ;) . One thing they haven't changed which I wish they would is the aiming. That big green blob is poop. Anyway, obligitary screenshots: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malechai Veteran Posted December 20, 2002 Veteran Share Posted December 20, 2002 as predicted, i tried out the demo..went WOW to the graphics...then got bored. uninstalled it already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordtroll Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 I agree Dazzla - the keyboard and mouse combo doesnt work well for this game and the XBOX controller is far superior as the game was originally tailored to it. As for PC graphics being so much better, thats true only if you have a very high end. If you have a nice HDTV though then it looks nicer imho on the box. Either way, if you have the cash the game will look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to play with keyboard+mouse instead of controllers, it depends on your skills. the only problem I face is playing sport games..others no problem such as GTA III.

Dazzla Veteran Posted December 20, 2002 Veteran Share Posted December 20, 2002 I like to play with keyboard+mouse instead of controllers, it depends on your skills. Not really, W, A, S, D lack the analogue facilities of the Xbox controller, that's the key. Using the mouse wheel for altering speed is lame. I'm just glad I've got a nice controller.

bcorman Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 I think its awesome that this amazing game is coming to the PS2 and Gamecube with additional levels not found in the XBOX version in March 2003. :D Here is the article: Spinter Cell is on it's way! It's been rumored, suggested and put into thought but today Ubi Soft announced it for both PS2 and Gamecube! Think that's good news on it's own? There's more. Not only did Ubi Soft announce they will release Tom Clancy's Spinter Cell in March 2003 but both PS2 and GC versions will have additional levels not found in the Xbox version. http://www.ningc.com/news.php?article=1724 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
