Part 1: Iceland
quote:
Briefing:
Fisher is sent to investigate suspected terrorist activities in a geothermal powerplant on Iceland. Along for the ride is John, a new Splinter Cell agent, eager to learn from the best.
Video (I highly recommend downloading the videos. They are wide-screen, and the quality really suffers online...)
And we're off! Mission 1 is basically an extended tutorial, for you to cut your teeth on before diving into the game proper. A few moves are shown off, a few terrorist dies. Plot is revealed. You know the drill.
Gameplay mechanics!
You might notice as you watch the video that the light-meter, trusty old companion of old, is gone. Yeah, I know, I'm bummed out too. Instead, we get the Threat Detector, visible as a glowing patch on Fishers back. Let me demonstrate:
Okay. Green means you're okay. Enemies can't see you, unless they stumble upon you. Yellow means that you're visible and liable to be spotted if a terrorist gets you in his line of sight. Red means that you have been detected and identified as an enemy, which is really bad news.

I don't know why I keep sending this email, because you never listen. We have a major security issue, but nobody seems to care. We have to keep the elctric fence on at all times to keep out intruders, and I don't care it interferes with your laptop screen! As a matter of fact, if I hear one more time that you turned it off using the power box inside the guardhouse, I'm gonna shoot the breaker, and then I'm gonna shoot your laptop. Understood?

If you put me on night shift one more time, I am going to start dressing in black like those vampires you see in the bad American movies. I don't care what the duty roster said, I haven't seen the sun in two weeks.
