I haven't said it in a long while but it applies here: I threw up in my mouth a little.

Absolutely nobody is asking for an open world splinter cell. Semi or otherwise.

So the big problem has been all of Ubi's games with exception to the Division have REALLY shitty AIi (Even the AI is fucking oblivious until you start a fight then they get creative).
So to combat stupid AI and bad AI routines they make the AI damage sponges, and the only game to NOT do that is the Ghost Recon Breakpoint (where ya remove the gear scores), but you can have a fucking pile of bodies being head shotted from 400 meters away and they just do fuck all about it except go on yellow alert.

So unless you have AI in a splinter cell game checking in every minute and roaming around in random patterns across the map in teams of at least 2 then it's just gonna be another Ubi game with Splinter Cell paint on it.

Eh. A quasi-futuristic open world stealth shooter? I'd play it. Not as much of a fan of the eras in the assassins creed games, personally.

Unless Ubisoft somehow manages to hire Kojima to do the whole game design and story design there would be nothing even remotely as cool as MGS 5 in any Splinter Cell title though The far greater likelihood is that it will be Assassins Creed, but Splinter Cell.... which would be the opposite of cool imo.

Eh, I could get behind this. Depends how "open world" it is though.

I hated how in the Just Cause series, you had to unlock the other regions on the map or you'd be insta-killed if you travelled to an unlocked region.

If they do it like Ghost Recon Wildlands, I could see how that could be fun.

Alternately, if it's like Sniper Elite 4, I would be bummed as that's not really open world, just big mission areas.

Please god no !.... don't go ruining my memories of Splinter Cell now....
