5. Man, can't wait to get my hands on this. Does anybody know if more than one person can play on the multiplayer setting online on one consle...if that made any sense...

6. same here, cant wait to play this game.

7. okay, so I just downloaded it (more to see what the graphics look like than to play the multiplayer) and frankly..... what the hell? it looks like they are using textures from the current gen versions for this. it looks like an Xbox 1 game. and anti-aliasing is disabled, for some reason. I thought they could use 4xAA without a performance hit because of the 10MB of VRAM. Am I wrong here?

i'm assuming these ugly graphics are just for the multiplayer modes so as to maintain frame-rate.

I saw the single-player demo running at E3 this year, and I KNOW the real game looks a hell of a lot sharper than this.

oh, well..... it's not like I'm NOT going to buy it

8. yes the graphic are downgraded a bit for frame rate in the muliplayer section of the game...but single player will look amazing!

9. stuck at work so I can't check it out yet. But this has always been the case for Splinter Cell games since day one, they ALWAYS look worse in multiplayer vs singleplayer. Looking forward to see how the game dynamics work out.

10. ah, well I was unaware of that because I never really play the multiplayer part. halo 2 was my flavor for online fightin'

I guess I'll just have to wait another 4 days 12 hours and 38 minutes 19 seconds before I can see the graphics in their full glory.

11. I'll wait and buy Halo 3

12. They have good discussion about Splinter Cell Double Agent on this week's 1Up Show.
Very well worth a watch.

13. I played it and was pretty impressed. I noticed in GRAW that the multiplayer did not look as nice as single player and thats probably just because the online element requires a lot more of the 360 brain than single player. But for a game that most people will buy for single player, they should have had a single player demo. I'll be picking this one up this week though.

14. I like the remote hacking. It adds a new flavor to the game. I would give the demo a 96% score for a demo. AND IF YOU PEOPLE THINK THIS LOOKS LIKE CURRENT GEN ON THE MP come on. Pop in the old one and you will see the new one is far far superior.

15. wow this mp demo rocks!
i can't wait till this game comes out. i don't know why u think this has bad graphics, there actually pretty good. yes, they can be way better,but that doesn't mean there bad. the gameplay is what matters anyways, and it delivers. this was probably some of the most fun mp gaming i've had for a while. if u haven't downloaded this, go do it right now.... GO!!!

16. Frosty, the single player demo is due out next week.

17. Wow i cant stop p;laying this demo. I wasnt gonna buy but this Sold me for sure. GJ on the Demo UBI

18. It would be superb if I could actually get into a game. I've only been able to play the actual game 2 times so far. I goto quick match and it just sits at "Joining a session,please wait..." until I just get sick of sitting and go back to the dashboard.

19. yea there some kind of networking rpoblem at ubisoft, which is making anything but co-op not working, you can check the Ubisoft DA forums the problem is wide spread.

sucks where is the QA department at Ubi, guys its two days before your retail lanuch and you have broken multi-player!

20. The last multiplayer version of Splinter Cell I bought had trailers to make ytou think you could play 4-on-4, but when you bought the game you quickly learned that marketing lie resulted in four players total. Thanks, Ubi.

Of course, Ubi has been setting new low levels of delivering satisfaction the past couple of years. Aside from the above, the last Rainbox Six has the challenge of a dead toddler. Right out of the box my friends and I successfully finished all multiplayer maps using pistols only.

And how much download content should we expect for multiplaying continuation? Recently, Ubi has changed it reward system for their loyal customers by charging them for additional content download.

Sorry, I'll download the demo, but I seriously doubt Ubi for the Xbox is something I'll ever consider again. I just switched back to PC gaming after a four year absence, and all thanks to Ubisoft.
