Splinter Cell 4 is out. No one informed me. I'm short $50 or $60 for the occasion.

Has anyone played it, how f-ing awesome is it, how about the PC version, and how awesome is it?

Maybe no one's posted about it because they're busy playing it?
I had a blog. It sucked.

Snake would snap Sam Fisher in half.

Five times.

And THEN he'd kill him.

Is this before or after Sam uses his Thermal Vision and sees him sneaking up in his stupid carboard box and lays into him with the SC-20K?

After, mainly because he wouldn't see him.

Who the **** uses Thermal Vision in broad daylight in a well-lit environment?

Also, thermal goggles don't work behind you.

Splinter Cell missions traditionally take place at night, fool. Thus Thermal Vision.

And the goggles don't have to work behind him. Seriously... a grown man in a carboard box shuffling along. There's no way you WOULDN'T hear that. And in the time it takes Snake to dump the box and go in for a kill, Sam can have emptied a whole clip into him. =P

So why does it have to be in Sam's court? If they DID meet it'd more likely be during the day--I can't imagine a SC mission to kill Snake or anything.

Also, he doesn't need to shuffle up, he just needs to get close enough to rush in, CQC his *** and take him down. And up close you can't contest that Snake would f*** Sam's **** up.

Therein lies the problem, he has to get close before he can really do anything, and Sam is packing all the long range moves.

47 would kill both of them in their sleep.

Failing that, he would have poisoned them hours earlier.

The other problem is that Sam has to SEE Snake before he can pull a "long range move" (PS, snake is an excellent sniper and has remotely controlled missiles in his arsenal), not to mention Snake can lay claymores in wait, and failing that he can just bumrush him.

True. That is, considering they failed to notice a bald guy with a barcode on the back of his head :P

And Sam isn't a good Sniper, can't dissapear and blend in, and won't notice this cardboard box moving around?

And what kinda spy uses remote missiles? ... Actually that's a stupid question.... Bond probably does....

Sam may be a good sniper, but he didn't beat a member of FOXHOUND!

Also, he has to notice danger in order to "blend in and disappear", which Snake will just look like some crazy guy stuck in the 80s right before he karate chops him into oblivion. CQC!

Finally, to be fair, Snake found the missiles in Alaska on a mission.

There a Multiplayer Demo for the 360 on Xbox Live. Beyond that one, I have no idea.

I might pick it up tomorrow.

I was hoping to buy an XBox 360 soon, but that looks to be delayed, so I will probably get the normal XBox version.

Then I bet I'll get a 360 a week later.

Splinter Cell is an American game. Metal Gear games aren't.

Therefore Sam Fisher wins.

He's about as ninja as the ninja turtles. If anything, Snake's closer to a ninja (his best friend was a ninja ffs, duh), seeing as how he's trained more in the art of CQC and other martial arts.

Yes, but Sam never had to put up with his boss suddenly becoming infected with a computer virus, or an organization of men who are long dead and yet still affecting current geopolitical affairs. In fact, Sam never had to deal with anything from MGS2.

47 is also stronger, and faster than snake or sam.

Not to mention he can take more bullet wounds than either.

Sam is plenty trained in all sorts of martial arts. He's more of a ninja because he doesn't combat people, he knocks them out before they even know he's there. He, like a ninja, will run and hide instead of having a noisy fight. He'll use tricks and technology to scare the living daylights out of people. More importantly, he climbs all over stuff to complete his objective. Climbing pipes is a ninja technique!

And he'll threaten to kill people if they say the word 'Monkey'!

You forgot the Displace guy in Hokkaido who was supposedly on that Oil Rig in Georgia in the first Splinter Cell. If you interrogate him, he FIRMLY believes Sam is a Ninja. :o

That had to be the funniest damn interrogation sequence in the whole game.
