omg sweet I used to love this game mode :D

Wagz224033d ago

Shit hit disagree instead of agree, damn phone haha so +1 for agree, I loved it too

Ask4033d ago

It's OK, I forgive you haha :)

Gazondaily4033d ago (Edited 4033d ago )

This has just become a must buy for me. Spy vs Merc is so cool. I hope the feature where, if you manage to grab the enemy, you can speak to them before executing them.

What's with the addition of killstreaks though? Did it really need it?

ShabbaRanks4033d ago

I don’t think those were killstreaks, but anyway I know what you mean lol. I am tired as f*ck of devs making everything CoD like.

I’m still not sure if I’m going to get this tho. I reallllly realllly miss RainbowSix and this is like the closest thing to RB6 Ill ever get so far :( Please UBI, f*king show us some RB6 patriots footage at E3.

I_LOVE_MYSELF4033d ago

In spies vs mercs on Double Agent you had Drones at your disposal.

Gazondaily4033d ago

Ah yeah actually I remember. Hope they sort the netcode out because that's what really let Double Agent down.

jetlian4033d ago (Edited 4033d ago )

Only thing im not liking is the 1 hit kills on melee. Like I said Ubisoft is the best!! AC4,WD,SC all this holiday

I couldn't full tel what they were saying but the drones one seems to be in the 4v4 mode called blacklist. The other mode didn't catch the name was 2v2

jaymart2k4033d ago

Classic is 2 v.s 2

"SPIES have:
Flashbang, Sticky Cam, Smoke Grenade, Sentinel (destroys enemy grenades and drones), EMP grenade

Sticky Shocker Bow (None-Lethal) , works the same as PT,CT

MERCS have:
Intel Device (reveals all enemies in range), Proxi Mine, Resupply pack (weapon + gadget ammo), Frag, VX Gas Grenade"

Assault Rife (standard weapon)

Maps in Classic mode will also be darker for Spies to hide better.

This according to a Q&A from the community developer

JohnApocalypse4033d ago

There is also RS: Patriots but that's probably gonna come out next year now

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell - A Decade in the Shadows

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell has been out of action for a decade, so it's time to look back at 2013's Splinter Cell: Blacklist.

CoNn3rB274d ago

Sam Fisher is evidently the most skilled stealth operative because no-one has seen him in his own game for years

kevco33274d ago

10 years, in fact. He must be, like, 60 by now?

phoenixwing274d ago (Edited 274d ago )

why make an inspired game that takes effort when you can half ass it with multiplayer gaas games and filler filled assassins creed games?

That question up there is the reason you don't see splinter cell games

zarbor274d ago

Yup, another example that Ubisoft has no idea what they are doing.

MIDGETonSTILTS17274d ago

The entire mark and execute system belonged in another game.

It’s cool, but the polar opposite to how Sam Fisher initially handled.

The original trilogy made shooting very, very difficult, yet a viable option, which ultimately motivates stealth.

The mark/execute system makes shooting stupid easy, to the point of why would you even bother trying stealth as an alternative?

FYouDad274d ago

Because Ghost is the method fans of the series actually prefer? IMark and execute is never forced upon the player you liiterally never have to bother using it even once throughout Blacklist.

RNTody274d ago

The sad part is that I actually really enjoyed the last game, Blacklist. It may have lacked the iconic voice but the gameplay was excellent, and blended stealth, action and a mix really great compared to most games, where none of the three options felt like the wrong way to play. I really hope they either produce a remake of the original game or a proper sequel.

Rikimaru-00274d ago

Isn't UBI Soft remaking splinter cell.

Sam Fisher Deserves Better

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Ubisoft, we need to chat. Please, have a seat. Thanks. Ok, so I think you know why you’re here. No it has nothing to do with all those game delays, we’ll talk about that later. What? No it’s not about the Skulls & Bones and Beyond Good & Evil 2 falling off the face of the Earth, just listen. We need to talk about Splinter Cell. Don’t give me that look, you know this conversation needs to happen. The way you’ve treated the series, its fans and poor Sam Fisher himself is sad, infuriating and just plain disappointing and it needs to stop."

The Fish!!!

I'd love to see a remastered edition of those games as well as something new. It's about time.

UltraNova1514d ago

MGS is done, at least as we know it so it's now or never Ubi, give Fisher the reboot it deserves. And for Gods sake, don't you dare turn Splinter Cell into another Division/Ghost reckon online abomination instead of a SP focused steath action game!

Psychonaut851514d ago

You know they will though. This is Ubisoft we’re talking about

zachyBROosevelt1514d ago (Edited 1514d ago )

I would love a new splinter cell, maybe even a reboot at this point. Sam Fisher deserves it

Profchaos1514d ago

I think reboot the entire franchise the games were great but every time they try to make him human like a father or something it comes of as unbelievable

hiawa231514d ago

They added damn near every SC game to Xbox1X back compat enahnced list. That is a lot of Sam enhanced and I am loving it, but Sam deserves a new next gen game.
