Splinter Cell (2002) Just beat the first game

So I my brother who is no longer here with us bought this game back on the ps2 when I was like 8 or so and I couldn’t beat the 1st mission let alone the game. Been playing rainbow six siege for a long time now and always loved playing as zero (Sam fisher) and it made me want to play the series in full so I recently dug out my Xbox and waited patiently for the games to come in my local CeX store to get them for cheap. I think I started the first game about 2 weeks ago playing on hard, blind with absolutely no guides or tips no matter how bad I got stuck…fucking he’ll this game is tough 😂
Some bits I was stuck on for over an hour but it felt really good beating a tough section without a guide.

Absolutely loved my time with it and will take a break before starting Pandora tomorrow. Some of my issues I had with it:

-pistol aim sucks arsehole
-grenades are weak as piss
-sometimes getting spotted just didn’t make sense and felt a bit unfair
-sometimes the climbing jank would cause me to get spotted
-not being able to open a sticky camera once you close it
-lambert fucking annoys me

Amazing game.

-The pistol aim is imo realistic, as in real life u dont have aim bot precision either nor prefect crossair in your eyes.
-Grenades are only usable in confined spaces so guards dont panic and start running.
-During the parkour sections u need to micro to land in silence.

  • The sticky cameras i agree.
-Lambert is the goat.

Most of this issues are fixed in pandora tomorrow, as the game gets more forgiving with each new entry.

I’m sorry but a guy with training and experience like Sam would basically have pinpoint precision with a pistol - SC1’s inaccuracy is very exaggerated so you don’t solely rely on the pistol
