OK, I have been playing Splinter Cell the whole week (the first installement, I dont want to play Pandora Tomorrow if I dont know the story of the first, eh) and I am stuck, stuck, stuck. I am suspecting a bug in the game, but since it''s bloody hard for me to get large files from the Net, I thought I would ask first if maybe I was missing something. So for anyone who has played that great game. Can you tell me how on Earth I am supposed to finish the first Chinese Embassy mission ? I went in there normally the first time, knocking out almost nobody except that damn dog, and yet after I listened in on the conversation, I got a Mission Failure (when the guy says he is gonna go in his car to finish the talk). So I started the whole mission again, making damn sure to hide anybody in the darkest recess of the level. didnt work. So I starte AGAIN, turned invisibility on, and went through the whole level without hurting anyone or touching anything, not even the dog got me. Not a single "I think I heard something". Didnt F**KING work. Please. Help ?

Maybe you aren''t recording the whole conversation? You need to record every single line, from when they start at the ground, to the top of the lift. This requires you to quickly equip the micro-recorder gadget and start recording as soon as possible. But this is obvious, so perhaps it isn''t your problem.

Did you make sure to continue listening to the conversation when he gets in the car too? Not sure if the computer version is exactly the same, but it should be close. So you watch the guy get into the car and it pulls up the gate, you laser mic the car window and listen to the remainder of the conversation. Sorry if you already did try this, but from the way you wrote it it doesn''t sound like you did. Hope that helps.

caffeineaddict has it. Just point the laser mic at the window on the back car door...

caffeineaddict is right.

And don''t bother killing the guards before the guy leaves in his limo. That just wastes valuable time you could be using to record the conversation. You can just hide in the bushes while you''re recording and the guards won''t be able to see you. It''s a *stealth* game, remember?

Do you meen in some level where you have to record tthe idiots in a lift? I got stuck there until I download a patch, worked like charm, no problems. It IS a bug in the game.

Argh.
Well, for the two guys in a lift I got that easily. I was talking about the Chinese Embassy mission.

CaffeineAddict : see the thing is, I saw the mission finished on the XBox, and I am doing exactly the same thing. Gee ! I managed to finish the level by only knocking like, two guys only ! Even managed to fool the dog.
But for some mysterious reason, after I listen in on the first part of the conversation and the general says he is gonna go and call back from his car, Lambert just tells me to abort the mission :-/
Ah well, I guess I ll just have to download some patch or another....
Thanks all the same

You''ll need a mod chip to get the patch to work right. It should only cost you about $200 or so to get past this level.
