Hostile guards are sharp and deadly, and enemy commandos can be downright scary. You'll have to use a much wider range of tactics to evade and eliminate hostiles rather than striking from the shadows over and over - preparation is key. Getting spotted can be very deadly if you are unprepared. A fully stealthy approach is the safest but most difficult. You'll find it's much harder for the player to control the battlefield and track enemies. The Special Ops mod aims to open up Blacklist to the player, giving you many new options for tactics and customization, while removing many of the handicaps that made the game easier and as a result, less rewarding. Special Ops is a mod for Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist, created by Service_Disconnect.
