The development team at Ubisoft working on Splinter Cell: Blacklist is delivering another video for fans, designed to reveal the most important elements of the Spies vs. Mercs Classic game mode, which will be part of the multiplayer side of the title.

Zack Cooper, a community developer, delivers a clear description of the actual gameplay, which is also shown in the footage.

As the name implies, the mode is aimed at those who loved the way older titles in the series were played.

Blacklist will introduce a number of new mechanics designed to broaden the appeal of the series, while also keeping it interesting for long term fans.

The new Splinter Cell will be launched on the PC, the Wii U, the Xbox 360, and the PlayStation 3 on August 20 in North America, and three days later in Europe.
