How not to die in Splinter Cell’s Spies vs. Mercs Classic

Fan-favorite mode returns for Blacklist

In talking about the Splinter Cell franchise, fans are quick to bring up the Spies vs. Mercs multiplayer mode, and for good reason — it rocks! Players are either a spy presented in third-person view or a first-person, gun-toting mercenary. It’s a winning formula that’s worked well previously and should still be a great deal of fun in Splinter Cell: Blacklist.

This trailer runs down the basics should, for some curious reason, Blacklist be your entry point for the series. Be warned: some people are alarmingly skilled at this mode.
