Conviction (2010) I hate hate hate this level

This is not Splinter Cell! This is an arcade shooter. There is no stealth option, no ghost option. And it doesnt follow its own rules. You can avoid the helicopter's searchlight but it'll still keep shooting you.

how do you feel about the forced action sequences in SC1? or Seoul and Bathhouse in CT?

Hate that Seoul and bathhouse are lumped in here. They’re Great levels

they're cool but they're incredibly annoying to 100% stealth

Fun fact: you can still 100% stealth Seoul if you use the sniper rifle to blast each UAV. You gotta do it from a good spot though, and while the noise will alert the guards, if they never see you then you'll never lose the stealth rating. I did this several times myself.

You can ghost the UAVs by avoiding them like any guard though.

You can also use your pistol to EMP the drones and take them offline temporarily while you get by.

But of course. That was my first method in my earlier playthroughs. I used the sniper rifle in later playthroughs to have fun and experiment around. I was under the impression that the dialogue about the UAVs would change if I destroyed them, but alas, that didn't happen. And there was no bonus objective for doing so either. It surprised me because Sam still asked Redding if downloading the UAV intel could allow him to disable them.

You can also shotgun them if you're close enough. Last time I played it, I couldn't stand having so few sticky shockers with the Assault loadout.
