Q: (scribble-gamer7-com) With the original Splinter Cell you were accused of stealing gameplay ideas from the
metal gear solid series. Do you feel this is a fair critism?
A: Who said that? I do think in SC2 we will be the one accusing, especially because of the online part.
Q: (duffman): PoP, one of last year's best game to me, had one of his strongest points in hi-esay-to-master,
yet very flexible control: dont you think having fewer buttons to remember adds to the capability of "feeling the tenstion"? Will something be done in SC2 to simplify controls?
A: Yes, the controls have been simplified, but accessibilit is not only with the controls, the mission over system is different.
The first reason why we have worked alot on the pad configuration is because we have the online and offline gameplay to handle.
The second is because we have new moves to master. The idea is to accomplish visually strickinh actions without touching more than twice the pad.

Q: (Nip-Zigo): SC was offering to the player the chance to check a Sam Fisher able to perform several movements, which weren't used much. Will this be fixed in PT?
A: Yes: This was our primary objective, no moves are compulsory, you do what you want but you have many moments, places, spots, where you can be amazed and surprise yourself.
The better you get, the more you enjoy having Sam doing as much as possible.

Q: (Wincia_Ludus) What about the enemy AI they'll use to be more tactical?
A: We have more than enemies in SC2, as we have civillians in the streets in trains, in air post going through their everyday lifes, this means that AI is going further than I see you I take a gun, I shoot you.
For enemies they have now a memory, the're give memory of what has happened, what they have heard, they cover and protect themselves in real time when they feel danger for instanc, this is more stressful, more dense also because you dont want that a civilian gets a bullet in the head because of you.
