I must say that I'm really interested in Splinter Cell Conviction.  I really do like what their doing.  I mean, Shanghai made Double Agent but just couldn't pull it off.  Looks like Montreal is going to come along and pull it all together into a great game.  They haven't failed us yet.  But yeah, I'm interested.  I mean, let's face it, while a new SCCT with better graphics and new levels would please some, I don't think Montreal wants to be repetitive like that.  Also, if you think about it, the first three SC and SCDA are kind of like different series almost.  And SC 1-3 just got better as they progressed, peaking at Chaos Theory.  So maybe it was just Shanghai screwing up or maybe it was them trying to put together a new feel for SC and they just missed a bit, or both.  Either way, here is to hoping that the new kind Splinter Cell follows that same trend as the first three SC.

Anyways, here is a link to the site that Legendtaker117 posted in one of the forums.  Enjoy.
