Splinter Cell: Blacklist Will Put Emphasis Back On Stealth


Splinter Cell: Blacklist

What happened to the Splinter Cell? In the previous games, stealth was a priority, but in Conviction it took a backseat for some reason. Speaking with videogamer, director Maxine Beland stated that Splinter Cell: Blacklist will bring the series back to being focused mainly on stealth.

"The [game's] economy system is balanced to push you towards [playing stealth]. If you play Assault, or if you play clumsy, you're going to make some money and if you play Panther, you're going to be making more and be rewarded more." BĂ©land said.


"If you play Ghost, it's harder: not being detected is really hard. You need to be conscious of the environment, you need to listen well... but you're going to be making a shit load more money if you're playing [that way]. I'm hoping regardless what your play style you'll come in and [start] gravitating towards Ghost."
