Some annoying things about splinter cell 2:
(Multi:) The way no matter how quiet and stealthy you are and the amount of gas you throw in a mercs face, they ALWAYS hold down the trigger and kill you.
(Multi:) The way 'mercs' ALWAYS turn around when you about to grab them.
(Multi:) The whole stinking optimatch
(Single:) Sam fisher is a slow-ass bizzatch. MOVE IT SOLDIER! etc.
(Multi:) No kill feature on the gun.
(Single:) And on the subject of guns, why the hell do they waste money on giving 'Fisher a damn gun and bullets.
(Multi:) There's always the cocky American who wants to make the teams unfair so he can be on the spies, so then one of the spies who were there first have to move to the 'mercs'.
(Multi:) a Co-op vs. A.I. would have been pretty tasty.
(Multi:) No knife ;)
There's my little rant, feel free to add to the list. But just thought I'd add the good points out weigh the bad points.

A few of the maps really do need an extra player or 2.
And the fact that the spies should at least have a pistol.

Played the PC multiplayer demo today and wasn't all that impressed. It is definitley addicitve but it feels a little disjointed and removed from the main game. I will continue to play it before I get LIVE again and seeing as this will probably be the main LIVE game for a while I will end up getting it so that every time I turn my Xbox on I at least have a game that others play for the majority of the time.
The fact that hardly anyone on my Friends list will play anything other than Pandora Tomorrow cheeses me off muchly. I've got 10 other Live games, and no one on my Friends list is ever playing any of them.
Thank God for Edgy. ^_^

I'm on Carve. Don't forget me.

If the spies had anything lethal in projectile form the game wouldn't work, you'd just line-up headshots from the shadows all the time.

Probably because they're running backwards firing.

I have a sense for these things, my mind goes 'if I were the spy I'd sneak up ... NOW *turns round and wastes spy*.

Yep, it's a busy game with limited players per game. Best to host.

Haven't got onto single player yet.

Comic relief.

Even worse is when you beat them in a ranked game (The opposaite spies were ranked 3 & 4 against my team of 2 & 1) and they close the match before the stats update.

Good idea.

No this is definately a good thing. Although i'd actually be able to kill a merc with a knife, this neck-breaking is hard.

They do.
According to the Official Site:
"Xbox Live bug will be corrected soon
A bug where the Xbox game crashed if you rested ten seconds on the "optimatch" option will soon be resolved. The bug does not prevent players from playing online, and it does not occur during gameplay. Therefore we expect that players will still enjoy playing Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow while we look into resolving this issue".
I've never had a game that's crashed so much on me...
*sulks*

Just pick a level quickly and launch. I've played about 40 games and only one has had lag so there's little point in waiting for the connection speeds to show anyway.
This bug happens alot on Midtown Madness 3 too.
