I highly doubt it. PC maybe. But not on consoles. But I don't really think we know yet.

Hey Sober, do you know if there's other ways to earn executes besides melee kills/knockouts, or if there's any way to turn on infinite executes? Even if it's just a post-game, trophy-disabling cheat menu type thing, I'd love to be able to just go through the whole game like that on a fourth playthrough.
In the abandoned mill footage a while ago the assault playthrough showed the player earn an execution with multiple firearm kills. Unsure if that's still in the game or dependent on difficulty.
It might be affected by difficulty, at least by my observations. But anything that isn't a melee takedown/grab won't fill the gauge immediately. So something like a gun kill or a gadget KO will fill the gauge (you can see it by the "marks" on the UI as blue squares) partially.
This game looks great, never realised that before. Probably because I'm replaying Conviction right now, but I also think that looks pretty good.
I wish we could unlock a Conviction outfit or similar though. I don't want to dress like a spy if I'm gonna kill everyone like an idiot.

Why would they cap the famerate?

Capping framerates online is a thing?
1. Because consoles are already at 30
2. Because that's how it has worked for their netcode.
Conviction:
-30fps max locked
-If the game lags (it does no matter what), and goes to a low fps, then you get desync error and it crashes.
-Each frame is synchronized with the other player.
It's an unreasonable netcode that makes this happen. Requiring each frame to synchronize is just unrealistic.
It allows them to easily make player actions, stealth, and cpu actions sync, but the cost is framerate. And when I say 30fps max, I don't mean it's just "capped" there. That is literally max performance. If the game lags, it can go to 10-20fps easily.

Lame, hopefully it's 60 at least. Are there any deals on the steam version?
I think they will have one, it just launches to Uplay either way though.
If you want a discount on the game you can buy a code on Ebay.

Watching that 100 Ways to Play trailer
Wow, game's come a long way since that first E3 footage. This is the Splinter Cell I've been waiting for.
