Splinter Cell 2015: 10 Essential Improvements It Must Have

4. Make Stealth The Priority Gameplay Choice

Depending on how much Ubi continue down the action-route it seems they're a fan of with the likes of Assassin's Creed's one-versus-twenty battles, at least make the levels in such a way that stealth can be a primary focus that's also the most rewarding. In Blacklist we saw the option to suit Fisher up in more armoured gear along with various rifles and shotguns for the sake of taking on bad guys face-first. Although it could be fun to do this, it seems completely pointless to advance this further - after all there are hundreds of run n' gun shooters where you can take cover and fill bodies full of lead all day long. Splinter Cell can accommodate this direction if absolutely necessary, but as with Blacklist, A.I. and damage modifiers should remain in such a way that playing a Splinter Cell game like a Splinter Cell game reaps the richest rewards.
