I need help in Splinter cell

[julius43]

In the 3rd or 4th level there is a stage where you have to laser mic two guys talking in an elevator from a distance.The problem is that after i laser mic them till the top,it's game over for me and a message says,"objective opportunity missed". I don't know what else to do.Any helpers? :!

It's probably because you were out of range. Also, reload from an earlier point and listen to the entire conversation all the way as they travel to the top. I recommend you go through the FAQs at www.gamefaqs.com

Oh no, it's not a range problem. It's a known glitch. The laser mic will work for a while and then stop. There is a patch for it. Just download and install the patch from the game website and everything will be fine again...that is, if it's a legal version of the game. Or else you are royally screwed, like me!

Here is the patch readme file:

DETAILS PATCH 1.2b

This patch corrects a small problem with the benchmarking tool in Version 1.2.

DETAILS PATCH 1.2

PROBLEMS SOLVED IN THIS VERSION:

- The 3D Sound button in the Sound config area is now properly
activating/deactivating 3d hardware sound acceleration/positioning;

- In Shadow Projector mode, the shadow filter design was changed to LOW/MEDIUM
= 2x2, HIGH = 3x2, VERY HIGH = 3x3 depending on the value of Effects Quality in
the video settings menu;

- Holding or Pushing CTRL while going back to the main menu no longer bring you
back to a cube map with a default texture;

- Laser micro success/failure computation fix;

- Benchmark mode (see instructions in readme file);

- No more guard/unguard, check/uncheck to speed up performance;

- No more Shadow Details in Shadow Buffer mode (that setting was useless on
GF3/GF4Ti/FX cards);

- No more bugs submitted to EPIC;

It's the Eurpoean and Asian version patch. The American version is also available in the same site.

That's strange cody...I'd finished it after a couple of tries. I didn't know this was a glitch!!

[ctrl_alt_del]

lol! That's exactly why it is a glitch. Some users will face it, some wont! You just have to be in the lucky few! And it seems, you got lucky!
