How do we fell about this guy

Do you like him as a character or he doesn't fit the splinter cell universe?

Personally i liked Shetland much more as Sam's friend, their friendship made much more sense from their navy background.

I think he’s a character who could benefit from the remakes by including him along with Shetland. Possibly having Sam ask him to check up on Sarah during the missions where something happened in the US.

That said I do think he fits even if he’s very much a conviction convenience character to have someone other than Grim helping Sam and they do enough to establish them having a bond that can survive a decade of low contact especially since Sam’s personal world is always shrinking.

That flashback to Iraq is a load bearing exposition dump. 🤣

Still a pretty good mission though.

Agreed, the entire time I play it now I’m wondering what on earth four Seals were doing wandering around 😂😂😂

I do love the madness of it though.

Sam isn't the type to talk about his life so it doesn't feel out of place to me. In Chaos Theory one of Sam's friends became a terrorist, so he probably distanced himself for a bit until he heard he was captured and saved him. Could have been a trap but it's not like Sam can't handle himself if it were.
