This thread has been linked to the game 'Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory'.
Over at Gametrailers ([URL]http://www.gametrailers.com[/URL]) there's a new 2 and a half minute trailer for the Chaos Theory Spy vs. Merc. Mulitplayer.
It actually looks pretty good, although it hardly looks very different at all to Pandora with what looks like identical graphics. Some of the new moves look good though, with the merc being able to spin round and knock the spy down, and then being able to pin the spy down (although quite what he's trying to achieve, it looks a kinda wrong).The spy's can also lift each other up and climb on each other like in the co-op video, and can now do the rail grab to flip the mercs over.
Some of the environments are also destructable, with the spy's being able to program things such as diggers and rockets to destroy the area. Oh yeah, and the spys now have 'camo suits' which basically turn them invisible. Quite how they're going to balance that one out for the mercs.

Yeah, true, forgot about that. Looking foward to some of the new modes as well, especially now they're putting a proper deathmatch mode in. Not that you coudln't do a deathmatch in Pandora, but it'll be better when it's properly implemented.

The mercs always had a huge advantage I felt. The camo should make it more interesting.
Saw this yesturday, the Spy vs Merc mode is still using the old engine but the single player game and co-op mode use the new SC engine. Also as far as balancing the invisible thing, electromagnic would probably detect that anyway so it shouldn't be too difficult to spot the spies, its look amazing though.
