Boro,

Go back to your previous save and before you get in the room with the lift, go in the room to the right and up the stairs.. each floor has loads of ammo on the window ledges

*made the same mistake myself...

I'm not sure (I didn't count). There were quite a few, but it didn't feel anywhere near as big as the first game. Also, the puzzles / strategies seemed much easier to solve han the first game. I only only actually died / had to retry a section once in the whole game. Just went straight through it.Overall, I enjoyed it while it lasted, but once I finished I had the overriding feeling of "Oh was that it?"

Sounds like the single player game has suffered because of them putting the multiplayer game on there
Not everyone has "Live" ffs!

if theirs not enough room on the disc then sounds like games could be moving over to the special edition 2-disc setup.
So is the game different if you play it multiplayer? surely if its quick in single player its going to be even quicker in multiplayer? And when games say its multiplayer are they meaning you can play it with phyisical real people that can sit down next to you in the same room or are they referring to the internet...

Internet, at least on the Xbox....
Jumped on the multiplayer bandwagon when they really didn't need to as far as I'm concerned

Not sure to be honest. I've not had much time to play it and when I have I've gone straight to single player I'll check it at lunchtime

They usually have some sort of split screen multiplayer (if they have online multiplayer). I think MS is pushing Live! though as it's one of the Xbox's main trump card over the PS2. Official Xbox Mag slates every game they review if it doesn't include any Live! content

The multiplayer on Splinter Cell is kinda cool.... IMO..

From what I can gather though you can only have 1 person at the xbox end, which I can understand cos Splinter Cell split screen would be ****e... ( unlike PGR that still works well with a split screen )

Mr Brother's just complete this (after 1 week) and he was a bit disappointed with the level of gameplay. Seems it was easier than the first and he didn't rate the multiplayer at all.

Having just check I can confirm Xbox multiplayer is either online or system link only, no split screen, but as Mogsi said, I think this split screen would be pretty pointless as you'd be able to see where your opponents are!?

I reckon SC2 is only easier because you know the little tricks of the trade from playing the original. How does the gameplay on Live! compare with the singleplayer mode?

Don't know personally, but I'll ask him to show me tonight.

The problem I have with these types of games is the online gameplay is based on the same idea. You pick a team, then go around trying to kill each other. Once you've played one game, you pretty much covered everything. Guess the difference is in weapons available to you.

Hopefully it won't just look like Rainbow 6 online.

No, it's definitely a lot easier. Level design means that much less thought is needed to get through it. I didn't think the enemy AI was as good as the first game either!!!
