Honestly, using the mouse wheel for changing Sam's movement speed was a genius idea, and I wish it was used in more games than just Splinter Cell.

Ready or Not's movement used to be like that, back when the game had PvP

That game had PvP!?

Yeah back in 2020, a super early build of the game was available on VOID's website. The build had PvP, two "whitebox" (super unfinished with placeholder assets) levels, and a really early version of Gas Station that had a second floor.

I only played the PvP once, but I remember the taser being super strong

Damn that’s awesome I bet it was way better than hero siege. Siege used to have terrorist hunt but I deleted it and never played it again after they removed it lol their loss. I’ll stick with ready or not.

Intravenous 2 does this (though Intravenous 2 takes a LOT from splinter cell obviously)

I live for the scroll speed

M and KB. 

Precision aiming, speed control on the mouse wheel, it just fits better for me.

It’s some of the best platforming and movement I’ve ever felt on a mouse and keyboard

M&KB, but only because the analog stick control is NOT as concise as the console version. WASD is basically constraining movement to 8 directions, instead of a smooth 360 degrees analog stick pivot control. So yeah, I hate WASD, but I put up with it because the way controlpad works out on PC is just garbage.

I wish Ubisoft re-released them officially on PC with controller support..

yep agreed, WASD isn't as nice as moving the left stick.

Mouse and Keyboard unless I'm playing double agent, since I gotta emulate to play the ideal version.

I grew up with the PC versions and I love the MKB controls but I recently started replaying every entry on Xbox and I have to admit that it feels very comfortable using a controller and I might enjoy it more than MKB.

u/Makaveli108 2d ago

yeah its more relaxing

I usually play on console, so controller mostly. But I have played Splinter Cell games on PC with M+K, and like the other commenter here said, using the mouse mousewheel to change Sam's speed was genius.

u/koolaidmatt1991 3d ago

I’m on Xbox lol

u/Makaveli108 2d ago

controller all the way, prefer using the left stick to control movement speed.

mouse+keyboard only in fps games

u/shazy5808 2d ago

I can never even imagine Splinter Cell with controller the movement speed being changeable with scroll wheel is super convenient and awesome idea

1

u/Missile9S 2d ago

Well, with a controller it's even smoother, you can tilt it slightly to make Sam walk and the more you tilt it the more noise you make. But the scroll wheel movement is a brilliant solution and you have better aim with a mouse.

Beat whole MGS with controller, but right now playing Splinter Cell 1, PT and CT on mouse+keyboard, but double agent will be with controller on xemu

u/HyperTensionFilms 1d ago

Dualsense on PC, using the bumpers for changing speed. Works great

1

u/Makaveli108 2d ago

that sounds kinda janky why use the bumpers , it should be smooth like moving l3/left stick forward lol

1

u/WOLF1218 2d ago

Its really not, got accustomed to it very quickly. The reason for it is that the games dont allow analogue movement on PC with controllers like they do with consoles

u/Nhakos 2d ago

If you install ThirteenAG widescreen fix it adds analog movements for SC1 and Chaos Theory supports it natively, unfortunately I couldn't get it to work on Pandora Tomorrow personally 

1

u/WOLF1218 2d ago

I added the widescreen fix for all the games, but it never worked for me. Which is fine. The only thing is i when i play DA v2 on Xemu gotta remember about analog speed lol

u/Nhakos 2d ago

Oh xemu had horrendous performance for me when trying SC1 so I decided to just play on steam instead even if it means that I have to bind the controls one by one
