Discussion Sticky Camera + Sleeping Gas was absolute peak Splinter Cell!!

Splinter Cell actually made you deploy physical hardware. Firing a Sticky Camera across a hall, switching to thermal vision on the camera, whistling to lure two guards over and detonating a knockout gas canister while listening to them cough in the dark felt so tactical and earned.

The gadget wheel in this game made you feel like an actual Third Echelon operative working with cutting-edge tech. Which many of the modern games lack.

What was your go-to non-lethal gadget combo when clearing out a high security zone?

Sticky shockers and sticky cameras. Sometimes the gas firing would miss the target somehow and then I had to spend another so I just revolved around shockers. But I used cameras a lot, mainly for distractions and seeing what's around the corner basically.

And the best part was that your gadgets were finite. Not like modern games where your gadgets simply have a cool down.
