Oh would you look at that? The original post has since be deleted. False alarm. Someone was impersonating a Ubisoft employee and they have now been banned. https://kotaku.com/ubisoft-threatens-splinter-cell-fans-with-bans-if-they-1848121131 "A forum post, locked and pinned to the top of the game’s forums, has for the last 24 hours had Splinter Cell fans thinking that they were in for some drastic punishment if they continued sending in support tickets. Ubisoft representatives now tell Kotaku that the post had been written by a user impersonating a Ubisoft employee, not a member of the support staff. It has been deleted, with the player responsible for the comments now also banned." lol that was a bad troll, had me fooled for a while and almost made me play this game asap. In hindsight it is a little strange that the ''employee'' only has 1 post, no avatar or title and a random name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POEman553 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 The thing is both Tara Reichley and Casey Blackwood both show up in Google search and on LinkedIn as working for Ubisoft. Some questions I then have: 1) If it's a random troll, how did the person know those specific people's names and their titles? 2) The message looks a little too professional to be a random troll. Which points to it being an actual employee. 3) I don't believe it's an user impersonating an Ubisoft employee. If this were the case, it would happen with more legacy Ubisoft games (Far Cry 2, Driver San Francisco, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood/Revelations PS3, etc). Because again, what's to stop the troll from copying/pasting the message, changing the word around, and posting it for a different game. 4) So it leads me to conclude it is an employee, but it blew up in Ubisoft's face and they instantly went on damage control and created the claim that "it's an user impersonating an employee."

Seraphim_Rez Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 Don't underestimate how much information people can obtain if they have enough time and dedication. Doxxing is a thing so someone finding names of company employees to impersonate is not an insane task. It's not hard to make something look professional. There are enough company PR messages on various forums and social media sites to use as examples and after that, it's just using spellcheck and looking over grammar and formatting. They might have targeted Blacklist because of how dedicated the fanbase is for it. It wasn't that long ago that there was a huge fan effort to get the challenges back online If AC Revelations/Brotherhood was announced to have no support or ceasing online services, it would surprise no one since we have a newer game with multiplayer, Black Flag, and the online functionality for those older titles at this point is...well, it functions...enough. However, that is not the case for Splinter Cell. It's the latest game and nothing after it. So targeting Blacklist was guaranteed to get more attention. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai_SNAAAKE Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 The main takeaway is that people need to do online fast, since even if was troll - Ubisoft won't be maintaining things forever, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the persistence had paid off as it has now been confirmed that the daily/weekly challenges have been fixed! Here is a screen cap I took of the Ubisoft Splinter Cell Blacklist forums just minutes before posting this. Happy trophy hunting fellow hunters! I'm very happy for that.

Thanks!! Yes, it is. Most can be done solo in private even. And randoms still play Team Deathmatch, so if you need some grindy daily objectives like Tag 100 People so your teammates can kill them - you can do it with them. Beware though that it's glitchy. Sadly, I can't help as my connection is rather shitty and game likes to freeze in MP on my end. Edited April 26, 2022 by Samurai_SNAAAKE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the servers aren't the best anymore so if you can't connect try having the other person host, or just keep trying. I'm playing on PC ATM and the weekly challenge is play 25 games of a specific game type. If it's the same on PS3 you can just do those by yourself (Again, private game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger252bread19 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) So I'm trying to do the weekly challenge, but the damn thing wont show up I'm my challenges. I thought all of that got fixed. Any tips on what I should do here? It showed up earlier but I didn't pay much attention as I was trying to figure out how to play the game again. Now it won't show up at all. Got the trophy for doing a daily challenge. Edited July 9, 2022 by ginger252bread19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, I'm actually doing the Weekly challenges (25 SvsM wins) and so far all is good but it takes a while because it takes 2 rounds instead of one as most of the Vs modes. Hope this was solved eventually, this game is very good. I'll miss this MP tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got the Co op trophies and I'll be done with the online. And yeah it is pretty good. I played the game years ago and this has made me miss Splinter Cell even more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need 1 round, solo, as Spy in SvsM Blacklist. Setup private game and change sides so you immediately start as Spy. In match setting set game length 3 minutes, hacks 1, map mines. Immediately after start run to point A, hack laptop and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't there need to be a round 2 so the other team has a chance to come back (Even if there is no other team)? AFAIK uplink control is the only one that needs one round since both teams are going for the same prize. Last weeks Weekly was uplink control.

Deceptrox Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 It looks like Weekly Challenge progress reset every 24 hours (I think). I got a few proximity mines kills yesterday and now it shows zero progress. When I checked in the morning my progress displayed the few kills I was able to get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone said the challenges weren’t showing up for him a week or two ago. Thankfully the one I did was 50 Frag Grenade kills which is easily boosted with a second person in a private match online. 16 hours ago, Lordguwa said: under the splintercell blacklist trophy list. it's the last 12 trophy's, brigg's mission may become harder if don't have a spare person after the shutdown.

Row1789 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 It reset today. It's 50 kills with the drone but I can't see an option for it on the load out screen. Anyone know anything? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iXanon Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 For anyone wondering the same thing: Mercenaries who wear the UAV suit have a drone as their special tool. The drone is more swift and will explode instantly upon detonation. The down part is that it's loud enough for spies to hear it's rotors and can be destroyed by gunfire and tools. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPtheNeurotic Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Well shit , I was hoping there would be a weekly challenge I could do solo . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Row1789 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 It didn't take us too long to finish. Just over half an hour. Found with 2 players your better standing next to each other with the drone in the middle. Kill both players, it's quicker to respawn than wait for the 40 second cool down.
