If you want a challenge - here it is in the Difficulty settings/trophy and achievements list. I've found Splinter Cell Conviction was a real challenging and yet rewarding game if played on hardest difficulty.

That game was fun but not challenging. They said that they have the most advanced AI in that game, but for AI that is suppose to be so smart, why do they do the exact same sweeps time after time. The AI have a repetitive nature and for someone who does things stealthy it isn't a challenge. You figure out there pattern and you just sneak by when they have their backs turned. So tell me how turning it to the highest difficulty makes it harder. All it did was put a few more DUMB AI bots on the board to make you figure out a different pattern. As far as the gun fights; find cover, wait for the AI to shoot at you, when they run out of ammo and go to reload they hesitate to go into cover. Pop out shoot that AI and continue to the next DUMB AI. What my point was; Splintercell was about going unnoticed, leaving no trace you were there. Infiltrating top secret areas and recovering stolen data without setting off any alarms. It wasn't, "Hey I was spotted and 10 enemies are coming at me, Wait a sec i'll snap one dudes neck get a "mark-n-execute" mark 4 dudes real quick and shoot them like I"m Jason Bourne." Yes it was cool the first time or 10 you did it, but IT ISN"T SPLINTERCELL!!!

All theese new game developers are telling us that they want to make games more Fluid. All they are really saying is, "Let's make the game faster paced." This might work well for a game like "Call of Duty" or "Medal of Honor" or even "Need for Speed", but it doesn't work for a stealth game!!! You can even see this in the "Assassins Creed" series. The last one in the series was WAY tooooooo much fluid. They made it so easy to fight or get away that it takes from the only challenge of the game. Now they have done it too the "Splinter Cell" series starting slightly with "Double Agent." "Conviction" was a great game, all but the multiplayer, but it still was not splintercell; it was "Assassins Creed" meets "Call of Duty." Good game, fun to play even, but it wasn't splintercell. 

To me all they are doing is taking away the challenge or hardness out of a game. It's like you're playing and once stealth doesn't work then F it well just blow our way through with the millions of gadgets they gave us. This is where speed kills the game. People think that you should be able to just run through a campaign and with a stealth game that's not whats it's about.

The game needs to take two HUGE steps backwards and SLOW it back down. Yes "Mark and Execute" is fun, but it isn't stealth; and faster Sam doesn't make the game any better than if you did it slow. I personally hate that they have turned a great series into an action shooter. The only thing they are doing is using the "Splinter Cell/ Tom Clancy's" name to sell more games when they need to make a true splinter cell game. 

Stealth = Slow and Quiet. Doesn't matter if your in the daylight or dark you can be stealthy, but you can't be stealthy any other way but quiet and slown down. Your feet make too much noise if you run, and if your loud your heard. Bring back stealth or series isn't "Splinter Cell."

Yes, you can transfer, but it must always be to a larger HD. I would suggest that you use a USB to transfer your saves and such to the slim instead.

That's not what i'm wanting. I would like to just leave the cord attached to the elite hard drive and the usb side connected to the new 360 slim, a bridge, between the two so that i can use the old hard drive to store information on it while i use the 360 slim. And does anyone know how big of and external device can the new 360 slim handle? Cuz i can buy a terabyte for 100 bucks instead of using 250gb for 130 bucks.

There's a limit to the amount of external space the 360 will support. You'll have to format it to FAT32, which means you'll only get 32 gigs out of the hard drive. A terabyte would be a complete waste.

i don't think that is totally true. i believe that i can make it NFTS from an apple computer and then it will allow me to have over 32 gigs.

If i get a new xbox slim with the 4gb hard drive can i remove it and use the 100gb hard drive from my elite? If not can I at least use the transfer cord, which transfers the data from one hard drive to another, as a bridge to store information on the xbox 360 slim?

HI, I recently came to my parents house for christmas break and I am having problems with my wireless adapter. It connects to the IP address but it keeps failing the DNS test. I don't have the DNS code on my computer and can't find it where people have told me to look to manually type it in. The other thing is, it does pass the primary DNS code but it isn't finding the secondary code. Is there any way to fix this?
