Splinter Cell Problem

[Basic]

Well I hired it out last night to see if it's really any good. Up until then end of the second level it was great but something weird happened, Alarms started going off on objects that had nothing to do with alarms, for example i stepped on a tile in the lobby and an alarm went off. When I tried to open the door to the court yard, after shooting out the camera and turning off the laser alarm system, the alarm goes off whenever I step on the metal plate in front of the door.

I figured maybe I'd done something wrong so I restarted the level but now whenever I jump from the balcony to the pipe (to get into the south wing through the kitchen window) the alarm goes off while I'm in the air.

Has anyone else had this problem? It's really annoying me since if the alarm goes off the mission is failed.

Haven't come across that problem before but normally alarms start going off if someone you previously killed has not been hidden or if certain enemies spot you.

The key to the game is stealth and enemies should only be killed if absolutely necessary and once killed a body should be well hidden so no-one else detects it and can set an alarm off.

It is actually possible to complete the game without killing any enemies - extremely difficult but possible.

Hope that's some help.

Yea, So far I've only killed one guy and I put him in a freezer everyone else I just knocked out. I think maybe it's something else I did that I wasn't meant to or maybe just a scratched disk playing up. Still a very good game though.

Even the enemies you knock out need to be well hidden otherwise they can be found by other enemies and raise the alarm. I doubt it's to do with the disk.

If you keep getting stuck give me more details of where you are up to when things go wrong and I'll see if I can help out.

Good luck......

Well I have no idea what happened but I did the level over and got past it, maybe the other times someone hadn't been hidden well enough. Now I'm on the CIA level and it's really annoying!
