Chaos Theory is still the best Stealth Action game hands down

Damn straight it is. As far as actual STEALTH goes in games, Splinter Cell is king without competition. The only besmirchment on the record is DA which wasn't made by the same company as 1, 2, 3, and 5.

Clearly you guys haven't played the Thief series .

I have and it's not as good... they were limited technologicly untill 3... and really I'm sure if you're a hardcore fan you probably have issues with 3.

The technology really had nothing to do with it - unless you're looking for a better game visually.
Thief had far better level design, in that there were almost always multiple ways to tackle a situation - which is key in a stealth game. The gameplay was a lot more engaging and the AI competent (Splinter Cell suffers a lot from the menu-based approach, and MGS suffers due to terrible AI).
Although to be fair, I can see why someone would prefer Splinter Cell. However (In reference to ShadowBlind), to say it is "king without competition" is quite naive, I would think.

And yes, Thief 3 was pretty bad .
