"Splinter Cell"

Brought it today. And i'm stuck. On the first level. Trying to find a a black box in a mans apartment. Anyone want to help? Great game aint it.

I am still to get the good gun. I have hardly had much time to play it.

The best thing to do is run out into the centre straight after the Checkpoint and fire a smoke grenade over the wall at the far end and wait for it to bounce of the back wall. Then if you have any ordinary grenades left fire 1 of them towards the right and the same will happen here but this time you will take out the one hiding behind the wall. Then there are two to deal with on the other side and once you have dealt with them another two come in.

To kill Grinko just use a Stunner from the Rifle as one of these actually kills him first time otherwise he takes a lot of bullets.

Using Heinsight (sp?) when I played the game on Hard I knew the formations of all these attacks and I knew when to combat them. Before entering the two areas with the hostages I placed Wall Mines along the back wall but far enough away for one not to blow up the other. Then on the wall at the far end I placed two so that they would blow up each other and maximise the damage. I am basically a walking walkthrough of that game because I remember every section and what to do, why isn't it the same with revision? If only it would go in as easy as it does with games.

I'm on that bit at the moment. I've disabled the IFF, but the damn thing still won't shoot them and I keep getting wasted. I've even put a few wall mines around there.

To be honest, I turned them off all the time as well. Apart from the bit where you had to protect the hostages. The shoot anything turret mode was handy in that instance, when enemy soliders were running everywhere.

I prefered to disable them though as it wasn't worth the risk of blowing all the work I had done to turn on a turret when I was restarting every time I got shot and wanting to use maximum stealth.

Cheers, I'll have another pop at it later.

Whichever mode you put the turrets in, they will always shoot at you. It's just that one of the modes (can't remember which one) will also shoot the guards as well.

The turrets are attracted by heat and movement, so throwing a flare in another direction can be used to get past them.

Ahh... Thats why it was shooting at me as well. I turned it off to avoid damage :)

One turret mode shoots only at hostiles/intruders (i.e. you), and the other mode shoots at anything that moves - so you can use the turrets tactically if you want.

Keep your Thermal googles on through out the area and watch out for the Turrets! You can deactivate all the Turrets without them shooting a bullet. The first turret is deactivated by climbing over the fridge and dropping down onto the other side. After completing the game twice I still don't understand what the second box is when you press action on the turret. One says deactivate turret and the other disable ..... Yet I have no idea what disabling the function does.
