Sam, before you dive into Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, it's important that you get a baseline historical context for the game, so you can have some layer of knowledge before diving head-first into this Stealth series. My advice would be to listen to this episode, gather intel, then play Splinter Cell. However, this is your mission, Sam. I know you'll do what's best. For our new listeners, if you have listened to the Splinter Cell segment of Jedi: Fallen Order Part 3, you have already heard this. These segmented-out Prep Episodes are for people who did not catch the last game club but still want to see what's next for the show.
