 I do believe one can ask if the tone of Conviction and approach has made Splinter Cell no longer the same type of game it was, and we are into something different.  I don't think posting the series is "dead" is appropriate though.

I wil llike to confirm that by dead I mean the original gameplay of Splinter Cell is "dead", and that "Splinter Cell is no longer the same type of game it was". NOT "Conviction sucks, Splinter Cell is dead".

I'm not disputing the quality of Conviction, only how faithful it is.

In that case, stealth as we know it is possibly dead.  Riddick was the first to deviate (aggressive stealth).  MGS4 got away from it.  Rising is supposed to be different also.  And now you have Conviction goes into aggressive stealth, so we could be seeing the end of stealth as we know it. 

Anyhow, I don't think there is anything that says that stealth a certain was is cannon that can't be deviated from.
