About Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow:2006: The U.S. installs a temporary military base on East Timor to train the developing defense force of the "world's youngest democracy." Resistance to the U.S. military presence in Southeast Asia is widespread and passionate, but the threat Indonesian militias pose to East Timorese democracy is deemed sufficient justification. At the same time, the U.S. doesn't mind having an excuse to install active military personnel within easy reach of both North Korea and the largest Muslim population in Asia.
Anti-U.S. resentment comes to a head under the leadership of guerrilla militia leader Suhadi Sadono, acting with the unofficial support of major corrupt factions of the Indonesian government. Suhadi's men attack and occupy the U.S. embassy in Jakarta, taking dozens of civilian and military personnel hostage.
You are Sam Fisher. You're sent in, not to rescue the hostages, but to destroy top-secret documentation held in the embassy before Suhadi's men access it.
The New Dawn of Stealth Action - An Experience So Compelling You Feel It!Believe the StoryInspired by the world of Tom Clancy and endorsed by the famous author, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow features a storyline so real you can feel it. Tension-filled stealth action springs from a compelling original storyline that could have been ripped from the headlines by scriptwriter JT Petty, who penned the original Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell.
Understand the CharactersIn this sequel to the original game, favorite characters like Sam Fisher and Irving Lambert return and unveil even more about their personal histories in the more character-driven storyline. New antagonists appear, including Suhadi Sodano, an Indonesian guerrilla leader whose beliefs are sound, but whose methods are barbaric. And then there is Norman Soth: CIA-trained mercenary deep under cover or traitor working for the enemy? Whose side is he really on? Douglas Shetland, director of a private military corporation, is an old acquaintance of Sam. And more to discover....
Immerse YourselfRevolutionary lighting, shadowing, animation, physics, and sound effects are pushed to the limit to create a universe so tightly woven that the line between reality and gaming starts to blur. High-resolution cinematics, amazing sound design and music, as well as top-quality voice over give Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow a unique movie-production quality. Voice actors, music composers, and cinematic directors will be announced in the coming months.
You’ve Got the MovesNow more than ever, Sam relies on his moves. In this sequel to the original Splinter Cell, circumstances demand that Sam use his agility and athleticism to avoid detection and death. In fact, the level design demands them. Use a half split jump to reach a ledge, zip-line across an open courtyard, rappel along the side of a building, SWAT-turn to bypass an open door unseen. More cool new moves will be announced in coming months.
You’ve Got the GearBased on prototypes currently in development or gadgets out on the field, a menu of high-tech gadgets and tools is at Sam Fisher's disposal.
Revolutionary Multiplayer Stealth-Action Gameplay Online for the First TimeTake Splinter Cell OnlineTaking place in the graphically rich environment we expect from Splinter Cell, the multiplayer gameplay is a natural extension of the Splinter Cell world. Just as in Splinter Cell, players will call on a wide variety of gadgets, weapons, and athletic moves to best their opponents. The light- and shadow-filled environment offers dark retreats for stealth gamers and wide-open spaces that spell danger for spies. The multiplayer game is integrated into the compelling offline story, though both offline and online gameplay can be enjoyed independently of one another.
Choose a SideTaunt your enemies from the shadows as you meet stealth objectives playing through wide multiplayer maps in third-person view as a SHADOWNET spy. Or track spies using a first-person perspective as a heavily armed ARGUS mercenary protecting your compound. The abilities and resources on each side are evenly matched. Winning will come down to skill and strategy.
Feel the TensionJust as in the original game, online players will feel the tension that comes from never knowing what might happen next. SHADOWNET spies hold their breath as mercenaries pass by close enough to touch them. They hide in the dark and wait for the right moment to spring into action. They work in concert - one can distract the mercenaries, while the other(s) meets the objective. Mercenaries never know when a SHADOWNET spy might silently drop down from the shadows to attack or slip by detection efforts to complete a mission. But relying heavily on their detection devices, they feel like they can stop the threat - at least for now. Are spies stealing your secrets while they toy with you?
Feel the Game.The multiplayer maps feature the revolutionary lighting, shadowing, animation, physics, and sound effects that have become the Splinter Cell trademark. Graphical effects push that even further. Electronic interference can disrupt the vision and tools of the mercenaries. Spies must avoid the searching flashlights and laser pointers. Flashbang, shaft, and gas grenades are also powerful visual effects that players will have to deal with. Thanks to their advanced goggles, SHADOWNETs can see in the dark and read thermo signatures in their environment while mercenaries detect movements and electromagnetic disturbance in their surroundings … and there's much more to discover.

We are aware that some of you have encountered crashes when
trying to join a server in the multiplayer demo. These crashes are due to a
problem that we did not discover during our intense testing procedure.
REASONS for the crashes :
The crashes are related to NAT (Network Address Translation) usage or by some
makes of firewall.
1. In the case of a NAT problem
To solve the problem please configure NAT to open the following ports : UDP
8888 and 45001.
2. In the case of a firewall issue
A PC behind a firewall has the same problem. It is therefore necessary to allow
access to the following ports : UDP 8888 and 45001. For more information on how
to configure your firewall please check the documentation or contact the
manufacturer.
If this does not resolve the problem, then it is likely that this solution has
not been applied to the PC you are trying to join.
CORRECTIVE PATCH
A patch for the demo is available to download from www.splintercell.com
Once the patch is installed an error message will be displayed when a session
is no longer available instead of the game crashing to the desktop.
If you have downloaded the demo of Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow after 26th
March, you do not need to download the patch as the new version includes this
correction. In either case all versions of the demo are compatible with each
other.
Even with the patch installed we recommend that you configure NAT or your
firewall as outlined above to allow you to join as many sessions as possible.
