    Oredered by Jim Cameron so it doesnt complicate the sales of AVATAR, also published by Ubisoft.

    StarCraft II is inevitable delay as well. Supposedly coming out Oct-Nov, but they pushed it back becasue Modern Warfare 2 comes out in Nov. That company too doesnt want to compromise sales from the same publisher, both Activision games.

    Its not a conspiracy. Its fact. They have to sacrafice release dates to get maximum porofitability from their products.

    I do have to admit, the chances that StarCraft II actually comes out is still iffy :rolleyes:. But I don't think it's going to be for the reason that it would interfere with the sales of MW2. Activision should already know that they are going to sell a lot of copies of MW2, to the PC community, as well as the console community. Though I do think that more people will buy it for the console. Then SC2 being only for the PC will have high sales also for the sake of it being StarCraft 2.

    Old news is old haha. But yeah, I'm pretty choked about Splinter Cell: Conviction getting delayed. I was really looking forward to playing that this year.

    Ubisoft is really having trouble making deadlines and so far when they have delivered the final game late, they really haven't turned out that good. (I'm staring at you H.A.W.X.).

    It's delayed because the bean counters say it's delayed. Not because they're trying to make it the best it can be.

    I will mainly miss Splinter Cell. I need a good Sam Fischer fix. I've played all the other Splinter Cells through twice. A rarity for me.

    My problem with Hitman was that it was too mechanical. You had to do everything perfectly for things to happen. It became quite a chore later.

    Splinter Cell Conviction is the new DNF.

    It was originally supposed to be out in 2007!
