Recently I re-played Splinter Cell: Conviction and it reminded me of when developers claim that you can UPGRADE your arsenal! For example in the previews I read the devs made it sound like you can tweak your guns to fit your killing style. So like an idiot I got excited  at the possibilities. Wow I bet I could add a scope, fire in different modes (Ala Spread, Machine Gun, Etc.) or change the types of bullets. That’s what I would like in an upgrade. Instead you get the trifecta of suckness. Add larger clip, faster reload, and accuracy. ACCURACY and FASTER RELOADS! I have never been in a fire fight and thought I need more accuracy! or this reload is so slow! But even after the upgrades I never notice a change in game play. Unless your character was so stupid he unloaded the five bullets in the clip and licked the gun when you reloaded. Then after the upgrades you would SEE the difference. All it is now is empty promises…empty hollow pointed promises.
