I played quite alot of Splinter Cell lately and thought of something. Your back menu is on your watch... so when you press back then you are looking at your watch and time freezes... but what if it didn't what the heck would the NPC's think if they see this bald spy guy just looking at his watch! (why the heck does the time freeze anyway , its a spy game not sci-fi.) And think of this, almost every popular game has people that want to reinact what they have seen in the games, just think of GTA... there probably already is some kind of fatguy trying to fit in a kiddie sized spy suit sneaking around office and when he wants to "look at his objectives" he screams freeze and stares at a toy watch that can't even tell time let alone give objectives, a map and profiles of all the members of the taliban!!
