The Megiddo are The Templars by another name.
They're a secret, supposedly all-reaching organisation concerned with seizing power and control... in an Ubisoft game. How was this not here before?
The Mark part of Mark & Execute is really an Assassin talent.
Sam isn't descended from Altair/Ezio's bloodline, so he can't use Eagle Vision. However, his ancestors did have the ability to keep track of those they've targetted even after losing LOS. Sometime between Double Agent and Conviction he decided to embrace his heritage and seek training to make use of it properly. If, going with the above WMG, Meggido really is (related) to the Templars, then there may be a crossover where Sam properly throws his lot in with the Assassins. After all, the original idea was for Conviction to use social stealth - possibly using a similar model to AC? I pity the fool... Megiddo was behind the events of H.A.W.X. 2.
In the final mission, Morganov admits he was convinced to betray his country by "those people" and that nobody can do anything against them, which is why he has no choice but to launch the nukes. Sounds a lot like Tom Reed in Conviction's ending.- I guess it is correct. The box art for H.A.W.X. 2 says that it is in the same conflict as Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, which would be set in the same conflict as Splinter Cell: Conviction.
- How about Rainbow Six and Modern Combat then?
- This seems to be retconned now. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier showed that the conspiracy behind the war was actually a Russian arms dealer group known as "Raven's Rock", and there is no mention of Megiddo in Blacklist. Shame.
