Had some fun with this mode before, but the FPS view the mercs had was pretty rubbish...

coolbeans4017d ago (Edited 4017d ago )

I thought the mercs controls in Double Agent were pretty intuitive (for its time).

john24017d ago

Hope it will be similar to the Spies vs Mercs mode of Chaos Theory

Sucitta4017d ago

this game had some of the best game mechanics Ive ever had the pleasure of playing.

the feeling I got when I hung down from a pipe and shot a spy dart to listen to the enemy talking was effing priceless, or being able to whisper something into the enemy's mic as I snapped their neck = )

I really hope they stay true to Chaos Theory.

TekoIie4017d ago (Edited 4017d ago )

Chaos Theory is easily the best IMO. If they're adding this mode back in chaos Theory is what they should base it off.

Jek_Porkins4017d ago

I used to love that game mode, but with no Ironside voice Sam, and next gen consoles and games coming out, I doubt I get very many current gen games between now and the end of the year, this is one I'll probably skip, or buy when it goes on sale.

Psychonaut4017d ago

I just want the co-op back it was so much fun in the last game. And it made me and some friends really go at it by seeing who could get more kills faster and such.

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.

CoNn3rB247d ago

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

kevco33247d ago

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

phoenixwing247d ago (Edited 247d 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

zarbor247d ago

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

MIDGETonSTILTS17247d 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?

FYouDad247d 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.

Tody_ZA247d 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-00247d 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.

UltraNova1487d 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!

Psychonaut851487d ago

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

zachyBROosevelt1487d ago (Edited 1487d ago )

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

Profchaos1487d 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

hiawa231487d 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.
