The Sam Fisher quest line is available now. I played the first part of it last night. It required a stealth entry to a UNIDAD base (which I found really difficult, the game isn't really designed for stealth and as a result I'm not that great at it but it did force me to get a bit better) followed by a defend the position section where all the stealth-ing you did was for nothing and the entire base starts attacking your position (and you have like no cover). The team AI is particularly bad, but it would probably be quite a bit easier with a human partner or 3. I didn't finish, but I may call in some support to finish it.

Yeah. I took up HarMahnaMahna's (:P) advice and watched it. I keep forgetting that's a thing now a days. How the mission plays out seemed really odd to me. Why did Ubisoft chose to make a Splinter Cell branded stealth mission with a required Ghost mechanic and then just switch it to straight up assault? Also, a resounding lack of a panther play style. They added the Karambit, but then don't let you use it in the Splinter Cell branded mission? Wha?

I give it a 5/10 + 2 for dem sweet sweet Michael Ironside vocals.
