@you do realize that pic is meant to mock Splinter Cell

its meant as hitman is just splinter cell with another character.

LOL nah dude. It's an insult to the Hitman series & the Splinter Cell series. Splinter Cell: Conviction is commonly held by the hardcore fans as a dumbed down version of the SC series (that's why I asked about Conviction). I guess Hitman fans feel the same about Hitman: Absolution. That's why they're associating it with SC: Conviction, to note how both of these series are being dumbed down. Notice the casual kids in the corner.

So yeah, they're not trying to make Hitman seem like Splinter Cell per se, they're just noting how they both look to be dumbed down for mass appeal. I hope they're wrong though.
