Sell it as a separate item and I'm buying Day 1. Otherwise I'm waiting for price to come down, way down. Got a ton of other stuff that needs to be bought like last of us, beyond, gta v, ps4/nextbox, and ps4/nextbox games.
but that trailer was damn awesome.

That ruined my childhood ;_;
Also love that distant hacking is gone. Against decent mercs it was best to go up close so the distance hacking was just for having fun with those who didn't know the map. On the other hand though, hacking the green terminal in the mansion was pretty awesome
Me neither, but there were quite a lot of people online for the 360 version of DA years after release.
Aaaand buying this day 1. Could not care less about the SP. Holy fuck. SvM is back!
Curious about 4 on 4 and the spies having a knife melee attack though.
The whole point of the spy was you weren't supposed to engage the mercs head on. Hopefully the spy melee attack is extremely nerfed to the point of almost being useless.
The issues with grabbing the mercs were due to the netcode more than anything. So many times I would be behind a merc but my spy would just elbow him instead of grabbing. Hopefully that issue doesn't come back.
I'm guessing there will be certain maps geared towards classic 2v2 as well. Maybe some PT/CT remakes. That'd be sick.

My best advice I can offer if you're interested in this is to start as early as possible.
I bought SCDA day 1 and was one of the best SVM players on the 360 version. And it was my first time playing SVM.
Then I tried to go back and play SVM on CT and got my ass proceduraly handed to me.
Even seeing new players on SCDA getting discouraged after getting whooped by seasoned players was tough.

Mmm. Didn't get it new and always got my ass handed to me when there were good spies or mercs on the other team. Dat sound of the nade bouncing near you.
Really wish they make merc more fun so that someone will actually play it. Was a real chore when there were few people online, just four in the lobby and three wanted to be spies.

This sums it up for me:
They haven't talked about Deniable Ops, but co-op is coming back so I don't think it'd be too hard to spin it off from co-op, which is what was sorta what it was from Conviction. It'd give SP players a bit more replayability too, if not just co-op that isn't co-op story missions.

I never knew about SVM until I played the Double Agent multiplayer demo. Instantly hooked.

pretty cool but nothing they show me can persuade me to preorder anything.
I'll decide to buy or wait for a steam sale once the reviews are out.

This looks really fun. I never got to play the first to SvM's. I hope there's a decently sized Wii U community for this game.

Yeah, we're gonna need some of that info early.

I was expecting them to completely ruin SvM, but this looks really good. I can't wait to see some full gameplay vids.

Yeah, I'd pay for some SCDA DLC with Blackwing. Perfect map.
Yeah, I'm kinda relieved.

Can't wait to see how badly they mess this one up.
If it's half as good as the original, I'll buy the game and might even try the SP.

Not yet.. SvM can't not be described in video. only by playing it can anything be said about it

Lol NO.
Ubisoft has a strange way of taking an awesome thing, and then crippling it. IE Far Cry 3's amazing Map Editor being held back by the horrible multiplayer playlist setup.

How many people will buy this for PS3 you guys think? Thats the version i'm gonna get, but I wonder how many people will be online. Its not exactly a high profile game, and the last one was exclusive on 360.
ok cant wait for that preview

Cuts deep bro.
Could be worse. Could be like Convictin without SVM AT ALL
Sorry man, you're talking to a PD and CT vet here.. and one of the best =D(on xbox, was in the top 5 along with my brother and his friend)
Yes, but if you were forced to engage the Merc team you couldn't since the Spy was nerfed hard in regards to the stun gun not stunning long enough to set-up a melee grab and melee grab funky-ness in general.
I totally get the point of the mode since I dabbled with it from PT on through X-box Live. But a more aggressive Spy team isn't a bad thing.

Well now you've got my attention.
Hope its as fun as I remember.

That's what I'm hoping. There was something very appealing, intense, and isolated about it just being you and one other person. Not to mention, it's easy to get 1 friend to play with you consistently and becomes GODS. 4 people is not so easy to accumulate and I imagine I'll be playing with a couple random idiots every time if 4v4 is a must.

So deniable ops is completely out? I loved such focused co op that wasnt just rips from SP

I actually wish it was 2 spies VS 4 mercs. Seems like the mercs would out number the spies in a real situation, not that they're going for realism. Just seems like it would be fun to be out numbered as a spy.
Either way, HYPE. I want to get this on PC but fear that it won't be as popular as 360. Plus, they'll probably force PC to use the UPlay application no matter where they by it from.

You can always make that custom match to do that stuff
I don't have to worry about that uplay stuff, getting it on ps3 or a wii u(if I have one by then)

If they allow it. That's one thing that SCDA was missing badly. I would have loved to been able to turn off the proximity sensor.
