History WMG / SplinterCell

[[WMG: ''Splinter Cell'' is set in the same shared universe as the following...]]

- ''Alan Wake'' (2010)

- ''Control'' (2019)

- ''The Quarry'' (2022)

- ''Bloodborne'' (2015)

- ''Manhunt'' and ''Manhunt 2'' (2003 - 2007)

[[WMG: The Megiddo are [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed The Templars]] by another name.]]

They're a secret, supposedly all-reaching organisation concerned with seizing power and control... in an Ubisoft game. How was this not here before?

[[WMG: The Mark part of Mark & Execute is really an Assassin talent.]]
Sam isn't descended from Altair/Ezio's bloodline, so he can't use Eagle Vision. However, his ancestors did have the ability to keep track of those they've targetted even after losing LOS. Sometime between ''Double Agent'' and ''Conviction'' he decided to embrace his heritage and seek training to make use of it properly. If, going with the above WMG, Meggido really is (related) to the Templars, then there may be a crossover where Sam properly throws his lot in with the Assassins. After all, the original idea was for ''Conviction'' to use social stealth - possibly using a similar model to AC? I pity the fool...

[[WMG: Megiddo was behind the events of H.A.W.X. 2.]]
In the final mission, Morganov admits he was convinced to betray his country by "those people" and that nobody can do anything against them, which is why he has no choice but to launch the nukes. Sounds a lot like Tom Reed in Conviction's ending.
* I guess it is correct. The box art for H.A.W.X. 2 says that it is in the same conflict as ''VideoGame/GhostRecon Future Soldier'', which would be set in the same conflict as ''Splinter Cell: Conviction''.
* How about VideoGame/RainbowSix and [[Creator/{{Gameloft}} Modern Combat]] then?
* This seems to be retconned now. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier showed that the conspiracy behind the war was actually a Russian arms dealer group known as "Raven's Rock", and there is no mention of Megiddo in Blacklist. [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot Shame.]]

* This can't be right. Sam maintains his relationship with his daughter and Vic, so it's very unlikely this WMG is true.

[[WMG: Sadiq is actually Lambert.]]
Lambert miraculously survived Sam shooting him in the head in Double Agent, and went into hiding during the events of Conviction. First, how do we know Lambert survived? After Sam shoots him, notice that he manages to stay alive for a few seconds to utter his 'last words'. While actually, Lambert pretended to die and waited for Sam to leave. Then, he made his escape. Lambert felt deeply betrayed by Sam putting the mission before him, and spent the time between Double Agent and Blacklist plotting his revenge. Getting a reverse negroplasty, changing his voice, fabricating involvement with MI-6, and setting up a terrorist group: The Engineers. This also explains how the Engineers were able to disable the Paladin. Lambert (Sadiq) had knowledge of Third Echelon technology. Fourth Echelon kit is likely largely comprised of upgraded 3E kit, so Lambert was able to provide the information on how to disable the Paladin to Engineer hackers. Lambert orchestrated the Blacklist because he knew Sam would eventually get involved, and they would eventually meet. So in truth, the goal of the Engineers wasn't removing US soldiers from foreign soil. It wasn't initiating continuity of government at Site F. It was killing Sam. But it failed, so all this is rendered inconsequential.

[[WMG: The Names of 12 Nations supporting the Engineers]]
These are surely Iran (because of Quds commandos present even AFTER the Iran mission), Russia (because of several guns like the SVU or Saiga-12K used only by Russian Spetnatz), UAE (because of massive money and F40 pistol) and probably North Korea,Yemen,Egypt,Pakistan, Syria,Belarus,Lebanon,Tajikistan,Turkmenistan (ok, this is just guessing based on actual hatred towards the US by this countries.). I will modify it if I found more elements.

[[WMG: Sam Fisher is [[{{Firefly}} a Reader]].]]

Saw this on SB, thought there might be something to it. Like the James Bond theory, "Sam Fisher" has become the code-name for an agent, rather than the man's real name. Looking at the ''Blacklist'' trailer, Sam looks a bit younger than he did in ''Conviction'', and (assuming it's not a placeholder), has a newer, younger-sounding voice. The real Sam was tired of the spy game, he was sick of the machinations. It makes sense that once he got his daughter back and freed Victor Coste, he'd retire, permanently this time. But when setting up Fourth Echelon, the powers that be decided that to name the command position after the premiere operative of Third Echelon, and the person who saved the President from their betrayal.

[[WMG: The Meggido are [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed The Templars]] by another name.]]

* How about VideoGame/RainbowSix and [[Gameloft ModernCombat]] then?

* How about RainbowSix and [[Gameloft ModernCombat]] then?

* Alternatively, he is simply recounting tales of his previous missions to new Splinter Cells (pre Conviction of course) and he simply has the same story telling abilities as [[PrinceOfPersia the Prince from The Sands of Time.]]

* [[FlatWhat What.]]

The only people who know about it, besides himself of course, are Lambert, Grim, possibly Sarah, and certain high level members of Third Echelon. Sam's third eye, located on his forehead, has excellent night vision, but is extremely sensative to light, so he has to keep it closed and unnoticed for most of the time. Third Echelon gave him the iconic goggles in order to allow him to keep the eye protected so it could be open and, thus, and make full use of its abilities. In order to not arouse suspicion, they created different versions of the goggles for other Splinter Cells claiming that the third lense was the only way they could fit in both night vision and thermal vision. As a result of using the goggles, Sam has made his extra eye even more perceptive, so much so that it can see through its eyelid, while still being protected from light.

It's easy to say that TheGuardsMustBeCrazy when YOU shot that lightbulb. But what if we were the 15th, and it was the 4th lightbulb to go off?

In the final mission, Morganov admits he was convinced to betray his country by "those people" and that nobody can do anything against them, which is why he has no choice but to launch the nukes. Sounds a lot like Tom Reed in Conviction's ending.
