Cool. Now Ubisoft will never want for Splinter Cell game subtitles until the sun becomes a red giant.

Hmmm... Splinter Cell: Red Giant...

Entirely possible, both “Red” and “Giant” are in the word sets mentioned in the article.

I think it might have been nice to _not_ vary the starting seed. Instead having each playthrough of the game start with the same mission name, but then vary wildly from there.

What's the difference with picking a random adjective and a random noun given the seed?

I'm also not sure that there are billions of such code names in practice, since there are only a few thousand adjectives and some 20000 nouns.
