Splinter Cell Blacklist Spies vs. Mercs Classic Introduction Video
Splinter Cell: Blacklist is arriving on 20 August on the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3, and while the third-person stealth-action game contains a purportedly excellent singleplayer campaign, the multiplayer portion of the title is what this video is all about. In this clip, Zack Cooper – Splinter Cell Community Developer – talks about the 2v2 Spies vs. Mercs Classic mode, in which two spies (played from the series’ traditional third-person perspective) attempt to infiltrate a location and hack tree terminals, while the Mercs ((played in a first-person perspective) have to protect the terminals.
He elaborates on the strengths and weaknesses of each faction, with the Spies being more agile and fast, therefore using the environment such as vents, pipes and ledges to sneak past their enemy towards their objective or stealthily takedown their opponents; success in hacking requires that the player remain undetected near a terminal for a short amount of time.
Meanwhile, Mercs may lack the agility that the Spies have, but instead have the advantage of superior firepower and armour; armed with various weapons and gadgets they can use the latter to set traps for the sneaky spies and the former to eliminate them.
