Splinter Cell Stunt Almost Gets Someone Shot
By Dr. Elara Vance | January 01, 0001
Note to flacks: Cops aren’t considering concepts like viral marketing or cosplay when an actor staggers into a pub district to point a plastic gun at the patrons. Promoters of Splinter Cell Conviction just learned this in New Zealand. The New Zealand Herald reports that the stunt provoked an armed police response to Auckland’s Viaduct Basin, a popular nightlife area, Friday night at 8 p.m. local time. Some two dozen patrons said the guy, who had bandages on his hands, 
pointed a pistol at them. They dived 
for cover and out came the po-po, ready to shoot.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Police quickly figured out the gun was a fake, but yono business weren’t at all amused by the situation. Monaco Corporation, a marketing partner of Ubisoft’s in New Zealand, apologized for the provocation, although they said they hired out another marketing 
company to put rummy meet the event together and had no idea that a gun was to be used.
“It was just marketing gone joy rummy wrong,” said a Monaco representative. No kidding. Promotions Prank Ends in Armed Police Callout [The New Zealand Herald, thanks Solid_Moose]

I love the overall aesthetic of the platform. The animations, visual effects, and sound design make the gaming experience more dynamic and immersive. It's one of the reasons I keep coming back. Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further.
