What's your favorite Tom Clancy franchise?

Tipstaff · Jul 14, 2007, 11:19 AM

Just a quick little poll to see what your favorite Tom Clancy game series would be.

Mine would be Splinter Cell, with Ghost Recon in second. God.. Co-op in Chaos Theory was awesome.. more so on the Xbox with it's reactive voice support (something serverly lacking in the PC version). As for Rainbow Six, Vegas is a great game, but it's not like the rest of the series. So, while I liked the first Rainbow Six, after a while I just couldn't get into the excessive amount of micromanagement of the different teams, and all the planning. I pretty much stayed away from the series until this last game, which I'm enjoying.

I'm in the middle of RB6:Vegas on the PC. I'm enjoying it a LOT! But, I've not really had that much exposure to the previous releases so I don't have anything to compare the RB6 series to.

However, the Splinter Cell series is AWESOME if we're talking about the first three of the series. Chaos Theory just blew me away!

BUT, Double Exposure had so many bugs I couldn't even get past the introductory part of it. I'd love to see if it's any better after patches.

So, I guess you can put me down for Splinter Cell.

EDIT: Well, I was going to move it myself but someone beat me to it.

Splinter Cell, as both Ghost Recon and R6 have never really got me hooked, that said Double Agent was rubbish, which was disapointing after CT was awesome, I hope this years entry in the series does better.

tried Rainbow Six, didn't like it.
so guess I gotta vote for GRAW (even if the new one doesn't like my card)

Hey, I'm just looking out for the moderators. Gotta keep you guys on your toes. Busy, busy, busy, you know? I mean.. if people like me didn't do stupid stuff like this then the moderators would get bored, right?

Seriously, though, thanks for putting it in the right place.

i voted splinter cell, played em all and love them.
since R6 vegas though...R6 is a close 2nd

BlueMak · Jul 15, 2007, 04:00 AM

My favourite Tom Clancy game has to be Red Storm Rising. The best in all aspects modern warfare sub sim till perhaps Sub Command or Dangerous Waters.

For newer games then my votes go to Ghost Recon and R6Vegas. While I finished both of them, Ghost Recon with coop, I found R6 Vegas less rough, more finished if you wish. So, though I have to vote none of the above for the reason mentioned, my second favourite TC game is R6 Vegas.

Tipstaff · Jul 15, 2007, 04:45 AM

Thinking back on it I should have added the other games he's taken part in, however these ones these three series are the ones that standout, more due to their popularity and longevity than anything else. Plus, they did make more than one.

SFOSOK · Jul 19, 2007, 02:58 AM

R6, its more creative that GR and Splinter Cell.

Excluding lockdown. F*ck that flaming pile of crap.

Vehicon · Jul 24, 2007, 03:47 AM

RB6 bar none.

SFOSOK · Jul 25, 2007, 03:35 AM

also would like to add, if I wanted to sneak around in the dark I'd just shut off the lights and do so.

Markius · Jul 26, 2007, 04:51 AM

i assume you are tallking about splinter cell...in wich case there is a little more to it than sneaking around in the dark

**MIG-31** · Jul 26, 2007, 06:50 AM

For me it's the splinter cell series,but that has to exclude double agent.

I still have the original ghost recon game along with the expantion packs.Although they are quite dated now they still got played.Advanced warfare was decent enough but i could never get past level 3.Have not thried GR2.

Tried the Rainbow series but never liked it right from the start (but tried the demos).I find this series way to tactical.

Tipstaff · Jul 26, 2007, 09:38 AM

Keep the votes coming guys. I know it's slow, but there's a reason for the poll... which I hope you guys get to find out about.

X1800XTTOP · Jul 29, 2007, 06:01 PM

I used to love Rainbow Six. Now i dont think about it at all. Lockdown was.... while vegas was better than lockdown, i didnt want to think of it as rainbow six. Its just... the series was killed.

Ghost recon, i never played. I started with Advanced warfighter and liked it alot. GRAW2 is even better although i think the game is too easy. COOP is just great, unlike in Vegas where the game is really only about getting more frags than your coop-ers.

SplinterCell. Ive played them all. I loved the 3 first, with 1 and 3 being my favorites. The fourth, i was shocked to see. No darkness and they still didnt see me. I´m sorry but the fourth game was really bad. Now with convicted coming its going to be [like] a new game altogether. I hoping its going to be good, but i had really high hopes for double agent and they were crushed so i wont wait for it but just try it whenever a demo is released.

Vote: Ghost Recon. I really wanted to vote for Rainbow Six. It really makes me sad to see what is happening with the tom clancy games...
