Amon Tobin totally nailed the sound track in Chaos Theory. Easily one of the best soundtracks in gaming period. The first 2 Splinter Cells are really rough. Extremely linear and kinda tedious. CT really opens it up and I'm glad that's the one I owned but still kinda wish I grew up with Thief instead

SC actually got me into TF2 because I was playing it a ton and the Spy seemed like it was similar. There was even a guide that had Chaos Theory music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-qD30EOO-o . This was before the Dead Ringer was added and all the engine exploits weren't known so it was pretty much entirely around actually being sneaky in those days. Also no one played spy so you didn't have 3 weebs on a team doing epic trickstabs. It was all about running around players cone of vision, going in when they were distracted, waiting for the medic to be positioned in a way you could snag them, etc. As soon as the dead ringer came out I basically stopped playing the game because it changed way too much.

Even then it's hard to go back to an NPC walking back and forth slowly and staring at a brick wall after you've had those exhilarating moments where you need to run around human beings line of sight that changes way more rapidly than NPCs. All the waiting in TF2 was within a second or two tops unless you were really scared/bad. Thief never really had this problem because the sound surface system made it so you could play fast and loose if you wanted and were good enough. The amount of stationary NPCs or NPCs patrolling a tiny area is pretty small or there is a route around them.

Every track in this game is amazing but Battery and Cargo should be in the top 3. The first half of Battery is the single greatest sneaking song ever put together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsxhy_9iijg
