The original Splinter Cell just got a big unofficial remaster thanks to modders

There are a lot of Splinter Cell games, but the first may be the best of them. Though a bit rougher around the edges than sequels like Pandora Tomorrow, and lacking the fantastic soundtrack of Chaos Theory or higher fidelity of Blacklist, the 2002 original has a murky charm that makes its vision of shadowy international special operations stand out from what came after. While we continue to wait for Ubisoft's planned remake to come out, now's as good a time as any to return to the game or play it for the first time with the launch of an impressive new mod that serves as an unofficial remaster.
