How the ASSAULT STYLE was meant to be played | Splinter Cell: Blacklist - Stealth Assault Chapter 1

The Average Geneva Suggestion Enjoyer
Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Stealth Assault Gameplay [Loud Weapons | Stylish Gunplay]
Mission 1: Safehouse
Difficulty: Realistic (w/ M&E)
So, I've seen Assault style gameplay videos before. However, I don't think I've ever seen a stylish one, other than the John Wick-inspired videos-so much so, that I named my loadout as such. Normally, the videos are played like a typical shooter, in that they let Sam tank way too many bullets. So, let me present to you a smooth(-ish) presentation of how you (probably) should play the Assault style.
Slightly inspired by the works of StealthGamerBR™, though it's not as smooth nor is it as weapon variety-centric as his.

CC for some bts commentary. EDIT DISCLAIMER: This is NOT A TUTORIAL on how to do the Assault Style. This is just a showcase of what an Assault run can look like; much like videos about doing perfect Ghost runs or "stealth kills" videos by StealthGamerBR or Swiftly Unknown. You are not meant to copy this exactly (I mean, you can. It'll just be more fun to figure out your own paths) so you can achieve an Assault Mastery. And if you want to do a similar style, you HAVE to sink in hours and hours of playtime knowing the specific mechanics of this game. This style is IMPOSSIBLE for first-time players... as are the other styles, anyway.

Excuse Me! But splinter cell blacklist is meant to be played the way I WANT to play it! NOT by some 'forced' recommendation! If I want to gun down enemies with an assault rifle, I CAN! Assault, panther and ghost do NOT exist for nothing!

@@CrossfeetGaming God no. Mark and Execute is the worst thing to have been added to Splinter Cell. It adds nothing of substance to the game, it just looks flashy. SC needs to go back to being a methodical tactical stealth game instead of a generic action stealth hybrid. Blacklist doesn't really offer anything that any other modern action game offers.

Yeah, I agree! Chaos Theory was almost perfect in every regard. My favourite story out of all of them. If they ever remade it, all they'd need to change for my taste is a bit of mobility/omitted moves and more accurate aimed shots with the pistol. Just made Sam look like a bad pistol marksman :D Also, no Michael Ironside, no Splinter Cell. Or at least no Sam Fisher. If they ever reboot and don't get Ironside then let's just play as another Splinter Cell agent, no harm in passing the torch.

@@megafan523 No, no, no, I don't want to be able to be a killing machine. That's exactly why I didn't like the last two Splinter Cell games. I love Thief, because fighting more than one enemy who noticed you at the same time is so damn hard. Garrett is only euqipped with a shortbow and a dagger after all. I love sticking to the shadows, don't get me wrong. What I don't like is how enemies notice me when I play perfectly stealthy but deadly at the same time. When Sam sits there in the shadows, observing his enemy, lining up the perfect shot yet still missing his target by five inches, now that's just plain lame. If I did want to be a killing machine, I'd equip the foregrip attachment and, later in the game, shotgun and sniper modules. The game just chose to make the pistol suck for no real reason imho. It's a minor gripe, really, you don't have to agree. I still think it's a 10/10 near perfect stealth game 😉

@@CalamityCain Okay, that makes a lot more sense; I definitely agree with you there, missing your shot by a few pixels definitely gets really annoying, especially when you have to do it quickly. And it's bad even if you aren't aiming to kill, you still need the pistol to turn off the lasers etc, and I can definitely vouch about how annoying accuracy gets then.

Ive seen many stealth and assault playthroughs, but this takes the cake. Cerebral, Calculative, Menacing, Pure Deadly Rawness. 10/10 💯
Man, it's just hilarious! Like I've just watched a short film! That style is so brutal and at the same time beautiful. Very well played. Pure art. Bless you!
The perfectly timed walking made it so much more badass. I agree this is how the assault play style should be. I understand the suit is for footsteps, but I think it should've at least been khaki because all black isn't actually helpful in real life. Unless you're going for intimidation.
the timing and hidden badass of sam saying "nice work" at his handler detailing a stealth approach and then instantly dropping unsuppressed shots is unreal
Blacklist is a brilliant gem of a game. The gameplay is divine. My personal favorite Splinter Cell entry.

Awesome stuff to see Blacklist gameplay. Much better when seeing the Assault side of it, something not seen much or at least not used unless you make a really dumb mistake in getting caught and all. What's even cooler is seeing what actually happens if you actually get detected while extracting Kobin. That was a cool touch in showing how much of a single mess up you have to clear up before finally clearing the mission xD Awesome gameplay here.

Thanks. It was precisely because I see guns-blazing, bullet-tanking, assault style playthroughs that I decided to make this series. At least make the playthrough slick.
Very nice…. This is much better than the usual video’s, well thought out and executed. Really demonstrates how clever this game was.
This is one game it's actually cool to watch several times from several players. Love this game, man. Thanks for the upload!
Charlie on radio: Sam, you need to go in quiet, no frags ok? 🤫 Sam: goes in guns blazing….🤣😂 This video was a work of art.
Brings me back to 2013. Thank you for the video! Your gameplay is smooth af. I remember I was trying to do panther runs on this level and try to get as many execute like the one at 1:49 as possible. All the dialogues are super nostalgic to me too.
Hahaha at 2:30, that was almost comical the way it happened. War crime in 3, 2 ,1..... *closes the damn door on him*

Great gameplay, reminded me just how much I miss Splinter Cell. Whether it be this style or more "traditional" Chaos Theory like gameplay, I need this series to come back.
Blows up a door. Men in one scene: *don’t care, act natural.*
Wow, what a fun gameplay! Completed stealth highest difficulty couple of months ago to remember the childhood
Can’t tell you how much I laughed at the casualness of tossing the incendiary grenade into the room and then closing the door over as if to say, “well THAT’S taken care of”. Also….the muffled screams of the now burning victim inside were just hilarious. Great video for a great game (10 years later and it’s EASILY still in my top ten of all time games), thank you for this.
That incendiary was very cinematic.

Dude, this was creative AF! You did amazing job. I remember trying assault style first time, after playing other styles for 100 times and... well, it is not what i thought it was. I thought it was like your standart military shooter: go, aim, shoot. No hiding, no been afraid of getting killed, nothing like that. You know, like in Rainbow Six Vegas for example or, i don't know, any other FPS game. But it turns out that, it doesn't work that way in this game. Thus, i have been stuck only with stealth action, cause i did it better than assault in this game.
This was amazing. Making me want to play all over again in assault style
Damn. Now i really wanna play this game, AGAIN. Subscribed.
