<div class="IPBDescription">Splinter Cell MP pwns me.</div>Tonight I was playing the SC PT demo with a guy who showed me all kinds of devious and evil tricks to use for both sides.
Result?
Me going 1on 2 against 2 mercs, and I win via bodycount. That's 8 kills, quite a feat for one spy in SC:PT. Neck snaps every one of em. :D So awesome. And i finally figured out how to talk to them too so i add insult to injury by saying some extraordinarily cheesy line ("Gotcha" "hey there" "you ain't goin no where!") before they go pop.
As a Merc, I learned a few nasty nasty tricks to make the spy's life a living hell. I'll be keeping most private, but one which I found exceptionally EVIL is to taser the spy till unconcious rather than killing them. Then instead of shooting them like everyone else does, set a Laser mine (not proximitiy) and then sit back and watch the show. The moment the spy regains conciousness 10 seconds later and stands up... BOOM! :D
I've been holding back, but I think now that I got paid and since I worked extra hours I might cave in and buy this one :X

Comments
with the strangling and the one-liners too.
I mainly say things like
"Me again, thats twice i've managed to grab you now"
"Lets go into this dark corner and... oh you're dead".
"Guess who? *Snaps Neck*"
Sometimes I sing to really annoy my victim :-)
"Do you come here often?"
"Price check on snapped neck."
"Come to bubba."
Ah... all boring and cliched... but it makes you feel good.
Does anybody know why I can just barely hear people talk (and I mean hear them talk, not hear what they're talking <i>about</i>) btw? It sucks not being able to use teh mic <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
LOL!!
Number 3 and 4 <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
edit: note that I wanted to try merc, but nded up with spy
Also, how many shock bolts does it take from my weapon to actually stun the guy, I hit him 6 times and he just ran on like nothing happened.

1) Mines are dual mode, proximity and laser. Prox is the default mode for if you just hit the key to place them, but if you hold the key down it will present you w/ a little menu that lets you choose proximity, laser, cancel. Pick laser and viola, you got a tripwire mine.
2) the default Voice volume is really really low because ubisoft is stupid. Go to Options->Sound and turn up Voice from 1 (!) to like 5 or 6.

heh. Well I've gotten EXTREMELY good at killing them as a spy, even against good mercs who are competent with traps, vision modes, and the taser. :) Not saying I'm like "OMG I PWN U U LOWLY NUB" but I do pretty good for racking up an amount of kills in a game where you're not supposed to have any. ;)

Worse you can do is headshot them which resets their HUD (more effective than it sounds).
Does anyone know if dying as a merc removes all spy traps/mines set by him? It needs confirmation, because I don't want to kill a merc and give him 5 more traps and 3 mines, but I've been told they get removed. To be on the safe side, I just knock them out, hack the objective, shoot a spy bullet on him and move before he gets back up <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Also, is there any way to have a key bound to talk? I'd like to be able to decide when to talk instead of having to have it on the whole game as I talk with my friends around me.
And no, there's no key to talk since the developer's main focus was on the x-box and the x-box live mic has a button on the unit itself for muting.
its a buzz to be like.. 1 foot awaycreeeeeping closer.. and then killing them
"Do you come here often?"
"Price check on snapped neck."
"Come to bubba."

I personally prefer "Ok, now turn your head and cough"
Ok, so I just got this working better and spent multiple hours last night killing sucktastic spys (b/c no one ever plays mercs). I used your taser+tripmine thing a few times (god that was fun <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->).
What I am wondering is if there was a patch for the MP Demo.. cus all of the rooms seem like they are for the demo (demo 1, demo2 etc), everyone is playing the same map, and everyone is playing the same mode.... so was there a patch?
PS. Bet I suck at it too.
This game just pwns all. (even my radeon 9100 yes)
[edit] Dont you just love even post counts? [/edit]
The one thing that ticks me off to no end is stupid mercs whos response to everything is NADE IT!!!!
generaly b/c I have already run in there, tasered the spy trying to cap the tube and then either shot him in the head or put down the laser trip mine <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
and then as I am turning around I here, tinkle tinkle BEWM
and then I die.
*rejoices*
Thank you for reminding me of this classic - I have it playing now.
Do the hustle!
not bad..needs improvements..nothing i'd buy, but i'd crack it though..so ya...i'm up for a multi game if u guys are hehe
Tried it another time with Doom and had a blast.
Your heart really starts pounding as a spy sometimes when you're just about to get caught and don't. Creeping along the broken ceiling tiles and I see a flashlight pass just by me, so I scuttle away into the nearest dark corner and press my back against the wall, letting him pass by me.
Then I swing down into the room, haxor their thingy, and am gone in 6 seconds.
I'm also not sure how I'm supposed to place the spy traps to effectively catch the spies and locate them (it was always me vs 1 person). It takes so long to run to the room they're hacking when I do find them.
Also, never been necked snapped - and I don't know how to do it as a spy, despite the fact I could have gotten a guy at least once if I did. I want to do my cool Predator click into the microphone <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> .
There also seems to be like 4 versions of the patch, and no matter which one I download I have the least popular one. Which one is the most up to date, so I can install that?

If you don't want to get cought when hacking the node, also make sure that you shoot or chaff nade the Motion Detector. It should be flashing 2 green lights.
Go into your controls menu to find out how to turn off the red laser.
Snapping necks is done with your "Use" key.
There is only 1 version of the patch: v1.1.
