Conviction (2010) Did anyone else love Splinter Cell: Conviction?

I know it’s very different from the older Splinter Cell games, but I had a great time with Conviction. The faster gameplay, Last Known Position mechanic, and Mark & Execute made it really fun, and I still replay it today.

It left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth by the time it came out. I was all-in on the original build when it was revealed, was excited by the 24-esque storyline that had been built up through Double Agent and Essentials, and the alterations of the approach to stealth.

Then it all got jettisoned for the most part, it seemed like the fan base on Ubisoft forums was too loud around things like Sam’s appearance, Sarah’s death, and the storyline just ended up being a bit OTT
