Rood is de vraag, Blauw is het antwoord:

Je kan hier ook gewoon vragen stellen in het Nederlands aan mij, Wellicht kan ik sommige beantwoorden zoniet dan vraag ik het op de Ubisoft Forums en kan je wellicht alsnog een antwoord krijgen

Please keep in mind that these answers are in reference to the Xbox360 and PC versions ONLY. I have not gotten much exposure to the Xbox and PS2 versions yet so I cannot speak from personal experience about these versions at this time.

Why has UBI decided to dumb down the game to the point of completely removing any strategic depth in favor of appeasing the masses of drooling windowlickers?

That would be a conclusion you've made without having played the game. It is obvious that you haven't played the game not only because the game isn't out yet, but because of the "removing any strategic depth" remark. There is plenty of strategic depth in the game, and while some will find it more accessible, this game will still be beyond the grasp of your average drooling windowlicker.

Originally posted by oldskool7142: Describe how the scrambler works. and is it true that you gain gadgets as you level up, and how do you level up?

I've gotten to play with the scrambler a little bit and from what I can tell, when you drop the scrambler it will react with the merc's proximity detector as if someone was nearby. So in other words, when a spy drops a scrambler somewhere, the mercs will think there's a spy lurking in that area leaving the spy open to move elsewhere.

Unfortunately the builds I have been playing and the amount of time I've been able to play have not provided me insight about the "leveling up" aspects of the game. I'll provide more info about this as I get it.

In my experience, yes, this is possible.

I have not encountered any co-op moves in the Versus mode.

Again, I don't think you guys are seeing the whole picture, but since I understand how hard that can be without getting a hands-on experience, I will simply encourage you to spare judgment 'til you try it.

[1] Are Frags smart? (do they detonate on enemy collision?)

I don't believe so, but I haven't been looking for this specifically. If I find out that they are I will let you know.

[2] Can Mercs Jump?

Yes, mercs can jump, and their new repelling move comes in pretty handy, too.

#2 - It's been said that there's a lot more customization available in the new Versus, than just the new unlockable skins, could you tell us a bit more about that particular feature?

Again, I haven't gotten to play with the "level up" functionality so I don't have answers for these.

I can't answer questions about things like PunkBuster, SvS game modes, bonus materials, skins, SDKs, etc. My answers here come from my experience playing the game, and I'm playing unfinished builds mostly over LAN so those topics above don't apply.

Originally posted by Hypersonic916:
1) For the multiplayer maps in DA that you've played, can you describe at the least the theme/setting of each one? Were they very large?

My favorite that I've played so far, Boss House, is one of the smaller ones for SCDA which is a bit bigger than the largest maps from Chaos Theory. Boss House is a mansion with a large backyard in an urban setting so there are other tall buildings around. The house itself has 2 stories that the mercs can access, but the spies can climb all over the roof, through the attic, and around the multiple stories of buildings nearby.

These maps are generally larger and more complex than the SCCT maps because of the possibility of having 6 people running around. What the game has reduced in complexity for gadgets it has increased in complexity in terms of ways to enter/exit rooms and access objectives. This facilitates stealth in my experience.

quote:
2) Were the matches that you've played perfectly balanced or more balanced than Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory? Did the spies or mercs win more in the matches? Or did they win equally the same?

In my observation, the clearest factor in winning was how well you knew the maps. Those who had been playing longer had a clear advantage over those who were just beginning to learn the ins and outs of each map. In games where everyone had been playing an equal amount of time, they usually came down to the wire and could go either way.

Originally posted by MKCC14: 1) Do mercs now have to holster their gun and throw a grenade with their hands or can they still launch them through their weapon like in scct?

They launch the grenades through their weapon like in scct.

quote:
2) If they still launch the grenades, I have seen in one pic that the merc puts away his weapon and throws something towards the spy, do you know what it is?

I have no idea what that could be. I haven't seen this myself.

quote:
Originally posted by B1tbow: 2. Do the maps still have interactivity like hackable doors, route openings, and traps.

Hackable doors = yes. If by route openings you mean lots of ways to get into different rooms, then yes. As for traps, no, not in the way I think you're thinking of traps.

quote:
2.Was controlling the drone as hard as it looked?

The controls for the drone do take some getting used to, but once you figure them out the drone can be a very handy tool.

Originally posted by psyichic: 1) is the PD able to detect a spy regardless of his location or what he is doing? To be more specific will it alert a merc to a spie's presence if the spy is motionless and/or away from a DIRECT LOS to the merc?

The PD has been a great source of confusion for you all, so I will try to address all PD related questions thoroughly.

The PD detects a nearby spy regardless of whether or not he is moving, but keep in mind that it ONLY detects spies that are within a certain radius of the merc (I'm not sure what this exact radius is, but it doesn't seem too close or far to me), and it doesn't tell you exactly where the spy is. All you can tell is that there's a spy in the general area, if they're nearby, or if they're almost on top of you. Mercs have to use what they know of the map to reason out where the spies could be.

quote:
2) Can you shed more light upon hacking? More pecifically hacking a merc. We know it alerts him and tell him who hacked him and his PD and presumably MT shuts down but does he have any info that he is being hacked? Is there anything to alert him to someone who is in the process of attempting to hack him?

I'm trying to remember if, as a merc, you can tell that someone is hacking you. I THINK that you are alerted to being hacked, but I can't remember fully. I'm playing it again tomorrow so I'll watch for that. I don't think it tells you exactly who is hacking or who has hacked you, however. Once you are hacked, all of your sensors, flashlight, MT, EM vision, etc., goes wonky.

Originally posted by Dragula36: Can you turn off the Proximity Detector in Deathmatch? And is it true that the Mercenaries only have the drone gadget now?

There is no Deathmatch in the Xbox 360 and PC versions that I know of, and you wouldn't want to turn off the proximity detector in the first place. It's an extremely helpful tool for the mercs. About the modes, the developers' intention in evolving this game was to bring it closer to their original vision of a cat-and-mouse game. The spies are more stealth, the mercs are more deadly. It was never supposed to be a deathmatch kind of game, and the development in SCDA reflects that more clearly.

Some mercs have a drone, and some mercs have a sticky cam apparently, but I haven't ever played with the sticky cam so I don't know anything about it.

quote:
Originally posted by UN-Grimz13: 1. Will the spy be able to launch/throw a flash bang or smoke grenade or do they just drop it at there feet?

The spies throw the flash bangs and smoke grenades at their feet the way they did in SCCT.

quote:
Originally posted by s-i-p-h-o-n: 2. Is it true that the Proxy Detector works while a spy is crouched and sitting still, or that the White Outlining motion tracker works with a perfectly still, but standing, spy?

The PD works while the spy is crouched and not moving or while the spy is moving. A spy's state of movement doesn't register differently, all you can tell is approximately how close they are.

The white outlining provided by the motion tracker only works when the spy is moving, so if a spy is hiding in a dark corner not moving at all, the merc will be able to tell that she's in the vicinity, but they won't see her unless he happens to scroll past her with the flashlight.

quote:
Originally posted by Serial_Jon: 1) Do Merc's still have the ability to knock out the spies by jumping on them?

The last time I did any knocking out by jumping on was with a spy onto a merc and it was in a much older build so it didn't work quite right. I'm going to guess that jumping on your opponent, whether merc or spy, will knock them out, but that will need to be confirmed officially.

quote:
2) How does the Merc's new rapelling ability affect the gameplay?

Being able to rapel gives the mercs new vertical mobility that can be very useful for chasing spies. The spies are still as agile and monkeylike as always so they can climb up and down and run circles around the heavily armored mercs, but now at least mercs can chase them down stories without having to take the stairs.

quote:
Originally posted by echelonfox: I have only ONE question: Will there be a level editor for the SvM or any other mulitplayer mode???

All I know is that I've nagged and nagged the devs about this for almost a year now. Wink Hopefully that means we will see one, but I don't have any official information about this, and I know that their current priority is to finish the game. I'll keep nagging, though.

quote:
Originally posted by Joo_Joo21: i know the closer you are to the objective, the faster you hack it, but will you be able to hack an objective any quicker if there are multiple spies downloading/hacking it at the same time?

The way file hacking works is that any spy can get any file from any objective. This means that two spies can be hacking the same console, but they will be independently uploading a file. If they both successfully hack the file, they can both run out, extract them, and the game will be over. You don't have to wait for one file to be extracted before you can start extracting the other one. This is why multiple spies downloading at the same time doesn't make the acquisition of a specific file any faster. Make sense?

quote:
Originally posted by Terminalfear: (1) Does charge still have a homeing effect, Where it guides you merc towards the spy?

Good question, I don't know. I haven't had the opportunity to charge any spies. They're always running away, dodging back out of rooms, etc.

quote:
(2) Does the mercs gun have a sniper, It seems to have a scope but I have never seen it used?

Yes, you can use the scope, but I haven't used it much so I can't describe it in detail.

quote:
Originally posted by DualX2: 1. Does the smoke still knock the Merc out after a certain amount of time he is in it?

I believe so, yes.

quote:
Originally posted by andretheone: 1) Can the spies defend themselves when there at close quarters with the merc in any way, cause apparently there was meant to be some sort of close combat thing.

Not that I've seen. Neck-breaking is still possible, but otherwise spies would be wise to escape, not stand and try to fight someone with far superior weaponry and armor. The point of the game is to extract files, afterall, not kill mercs.

quote:
2)From what you've seen so far, do you reckon that this will still appeal to the vets who played chaos theory?

Any answer to this is a pure guess especially because I've only been able to play for a few hours so I have only just started getting familiar with the maps. I can't judge the game yet based on advanced strategies and intimate knowledge of the maps because I haven't reached that level yet. However, I do have a prediction about how the veteran community will respond.

At first I expect vets will be upset about the differences. This is what happens whenever changes are made to someone's favorite gametype. However, I think that as veterans take the time to learn it, it will split into 2 camps. Those who were fans of the cat-and-mouse elements in SCCT will appreciate the evolution that has occured and love it. Those who ended up playing 'tag' all the time in SCCT will either decide to go to a more traditional FPS, or they'll learn how to play the way the game was meant to be played.

Originally posted by braiog: Are you saying that the following is possible?

3 spies quickly get to 1 objective. 1 plays defense with the Merc and the other 2 hack. The first spy gets the OBJ hacked and has to extract. The second spy can now hack the same OBJ? So all these spies now have to do to win the game is both get to extraction right? 2 spies can hack 1 objective to the point of extraction, both get out and that counts as 2 objectives hacked (the minimum to win the game)?

I do SUSPECT this is possible, but I haven't actually tested this particular scenario. I haven't even run into an objective that was shutdown for any reason and I know I've tried hacking after a teammate has already downloaded a full file which is why I think the above scenario is plausible, though I think it would take skill to not have the whole team get wiped out by the mercs. I anticipate this will be a strategy some people will utilize. In fact, I'm going to try it tomorrow. Wink

Originally posted by GFreak007: 1) Will all multiplayer maps be by night?

2) Will there still be cameras, that the spies usually temporarely disrupt with their gun?
That if the spy is detected, the merc will see it on his hud?
Or those nasty laser thingies at the doors, which you will need to shoot down.
Because i had a dream they were back and you had to hack those with your arm.

All the maps I've played are either night or twilight, but there are some maps with brightly lit interior areas.

To the second question, I have not encountered any such cameras yet, though there are apparently merc sticky cams. I can't say anything about those because I haven't used them or seen them.

Originally posted by savov: I have a question about spies and mercs HUDs... In spy HUD what is that bars at top right at the screen? And what is that "Z" under the bars? Then we go in botton-right except the Health what the other bar is? And for the mercs HUD - where are shows the left ammo/granades etc?

As indicated by my cute little diagrams...

Spy HUD:

* top right bars show the status of you and your teammates. The horizontal blue bars show download progress for each player. The box beside each name shows what they're doing and I think it works so that if you're hacking an objective it will blink the color of that objective, if you die , the box has a red skull in it and your name is red. Your teammates see that, too, so everyone sees what everyone else is doing.
* The "Z" is the symbol for the extraction point and I think in this case it means you've extracted a file and should be on your way back to the extraction point, but I'm not sure. I know that that symbol shows up on your map (top left) once you've gotten a complete file and are supposed to extract it.
* Bottom right, you have a health bar on the bottom, and the top bar is assigned to your gadget. The symbol indicates what gadget you have, and the dashes indicate how many you have left. In the example above, the spy has smoke grenades.

Merc HUD:

* The thing in the middle is, um, your reticle. Cool
* When you look a bit closer you will see 3 little hatch marks to the bottom-left of the center of the reticle. These indicate how many grenades you have left.

Originally posted by DualX2: In Chaos Theory, whenever a Spy was to jump onto a Mercenary while he was performing the Beserk move, the Spy would be the one that gets knocked down. That doesn't make any sence.

I don't know that I understand the question, but I assume that by 'berserk move' you mean the merc charge or the spin. Either way, I haven't tried to jump on a merc while he was doing one of these moves so I don't know. I would guess that the spin move will knock a spy down regardless.

quote:
Originally posted by psyichic: Do you mean like animation only jumps? Like the merc only "Jumps" while performing a rappel move or can he jump anywhere anytime?

Yes, he can do little jumps anywhere anytime, but not jumps that will get him on a railing.

Originally posted by KSaiyu: 1) Did you win any of your spy games, and if so, what kinda strategy did you use.

I know this way semi answered when you said any team can win and it depends on map knowledge, but what I want to know is roughly the degree of stealth or action and teamwork you needed to win as spy.

quote:

I've played a bunch of games at this point and so yes, I've been on the winning team as a spy several times, but it's too early for me to have solidly defined strategies especially since when playing against n00b mercs who are playing for the first time I obviously can get away with a lot more aggression as a spy. When playing against people of similar skill level, the basic strat I can say is that you want to stay out of sight. Cat and mouse.

Jinx and I got to play some of the devs today, for example, and what worked best for us would be to coordinate so that we would drop jammers in a few key places and then simultaneously hack objectives on opposite sides of the map. Usually we would hack until a merc was getting close and then we'd duck back into the walls and, if possible, skirt to the next nearest objective and start hacking that one. You don't have to keep hacking one objective to finish one file; you can access the same file from all objectives so we would keep skipping around to different objectives, keeping the mercs on their toes.

We also started playing with a "mobbing" technique where we'd both head to one objective and try to run around enough to get the merc(s) confused and ideally snap a few necks. We have yet to perfect this strategy... Shady

I kind of answered this before, but yes, you can plan LAN/System Link with a friend, both play spies, and play against bots. I haven't seen any split screen yet so I don't know if it's in the game or not. I just realized while playing today that this is the new form of coop (duh).

quote:
is there any possiblilty of the spies being computer controlled bots?

No, bots can only be mercs. They're extremely smart bots, for the record. You can have bots of different difficulties and Jinx and I had our hands full with just the Medium difficulty ones, probably because we're still such noobs, but still, the bots are a great practice tool.

Originally posted by speakobsession: 1. I'm all for the PD idea...but does this make it much more harder for a spy to sneak up on a merc? Because I could see a merc with the PD on and he is just constantly doing the berserker spinning move franticly because he knows a spy is on top of him making it really hard for the spy to do anything but just run away.

If the merc is intent on spinning in circles, I recommend using the opportunity to hack the objective. Wink

Spy gadgets that I've seen/used: handy-dandy hacking tool (breaks glass, busts lights, hacks objectives, and hacks mercs), smoke grenades, flash bangs, health needles, jammers (I defined what jammers do in a previous post in this thread).

Merc gadgets that I've seen/used: trusty rifle, sniper, frag grenades, drone.

Not that I've seen.

quote:

You can tell your teammates apart from the different skins if they choose to utilize them, otherwise there's no nametag over their heads or anything.

The references to coop places confuses me a bit, but about the coop moves, I have not encountered any yet. I don't think they're in the game, but that's not a guarantee. I'll confirm this.

2) Are spies able to backflip? In the last two SC multiplayer games the spies were able to back flip off walls. Can spies still do this?

Good question. I'll try it out and get back y'all.

Is there any chance we will get the opportunity to do a night of games against the devs? In the CT beta we got that chance. I want to know if we will get that chance again.

I'd like to arrange such a thing and I know the devs would be down to do this. We'll see what we can do.

Originally posted by andretheone: 1) is it true that you can only carry one gadget at a time?

Yes.

2) can one spy carry all the files available to download?

One spy can only carry one file at a time. She must get the completed file to the extraction point before downloading a new file.

do you think that the maps are more complex than chaos theory?

Generally, yes.

4) so far whats been your favourite/most memorable part of your multiplayer play test?

Narrowly escaping the mercs to extract a file really gets the adrenaline pumping.

Originally posted by braiog: So far, I've seen 2 Merc videos (from the Mercs POV) where they kill a spy and it SEEMS like that was the last seconds of the round (or the last lives of the spies who died)

In each of these videos the announcer says "MISSION FAILED!" So I'm kinda confused. Am I mishearing the word FAILED as something else? Isn't the winning goals for mercs to either eliminate all spies or have the mission timer expire?

Hmm, this is perplexing because, as you've said, mercs win the round if they prevent the spies from extracting 2 complete files. My guess is that the videos are from an earlier build in which both teams were told that they failed their mission no matter what had actually happened. I actually played a bugged, early build that did that very thing so I'm suspecting that's what you saw. Otherwise I have no idea...

Originally posted by gameIarry9: heres my question: why do you keep referring to the spies as women? are you saying that all the spies will be female or are you one of those activists?

Lol. I refer to spies as women mainly because it tickles me to do so. It also helps to clarify who I'm talking about. If I say 'he' I'm talking about the merc, if I say 'she' I'm talking about the spy.

I’m sure there are some spy strategies in which you don’t want to send the merc back to his spawn point. Afterall, since this isn’t deathmatch, your ultimate goal isn’t to use up all the lives of the mercs. I haven’t played enough at this point to have utilized that kind of strategy. As I said, I always snap their necks. Hehe.

quote:
How many lives spies/mercs have?

I should be 100% sure about this, but it’s now been a couple weeks since my last play session. I believe the spies get 4 lives each, the mercs get 3 each.

Originally posted by GFreak007:
1) Can the drone come to the spies' spawnpoint?

In all the levels I’ve played with the spy spawn points are too far away for the drone to reach. The drones have a range and it’s easy to fly the drone too far away from your merc. It will simply stop operating when that happens.

I have not attempted to disable any elements on the HUD because I have found them all useful up to this point. This functionality may or may not exist.

I know that you can hack into the merc’s control system as a spy but I haven’t heard anything from it. Then again, the people I’m playing against have always been in the same room with me not playing over headsets, so honestly I don’t know.

Good question. I’m not sure. I believe it has an expiration point, though I’m not sure if this is time based or if it goes out of commission if the spy who dropped it dies. I have noticed a point at which it isn’t working anymore, though.

I could be wrong but I believe that you cannot reenter that view. If you quit out then you’ve lost access to the drone and have to drop another (I THINK you can drop another… I seem to remember doing this at least once.)

I don’t think the merc’s position impacts whether or not they can deploy a drone, but I haven’t tested it.

No, I’m pretty sure they don’t, though I could be wrong.

The SCDA merc rifle does seem more powerful to me but that’s only from playing. I don’t know the devs’ intentions.

Q1. How long can you charge for?

Q3. Can you stop charging midway through, and charge again immediately after?
Q4. How quickly can you charge after you've already done so?

I've only seen 1 video where it SEEMED like the Merc charged a Spy and connected. It was such a short distance, I don't know if it was an elbow attack moves the Mercs might have or a charge, but it knocked the spy off the 2nd story building, and when the Merc rappeled to the ground, the Spy was gone.

Mental Note: ehm, play around with the 'merc charge' more. I haven’t done very much of this at all yet so I don’t know details. All I know is that it’s in the game and it works if you connect right.

You hold right trigger and press A to select your target.

The bot mercs have all the mobility and range of player mercs. They are methodical and logical about assessing where a spy could be.

Wow, dit gaat toch volgens mij een stukkie leuker worden dan ik verwacht had. \o/

iOcat · 28 sep 2006

Mooie startpost Maar zet mij maar bij het lijstje.. ik ga SCDA meteen bij de release kopen. Dat heb ik al vanaf Splinter Cell 1 gedaan , maar ik ga denk ik eerst wel even de single player doorlopen zodra ik SCDA in mijn bezit heb *)

Gamersea · 28 sep 2006

Ok, Maarja, Ik heb hem gepreorderd hem dan tenminste op de release binnen maar ga op Herfst vakantie dus dan ben ik ook niet online.

Edit: Vragen En Antwoorden Geupdated

iOcat · 28 sep 2006

Ik ben beniewd hoe het met de Drones uit gaat pakken van de Mercs :{ want ik zie die suicide functie van die Drone niet echt zitten voor de Mercs. Het lijkt mij namenlijk zo makenlijk om dan gewoon ergens in een hoekje te gaan zitten, en op een punt staan waar de mercs regelmatig voorbij lopen, en zodra er een merc langs komt .. Klabam! weg Merc. En een Merc heeft maar 3 levels dusja. Weet iemand of je de Drones eventueel uit kan zetten? Ik denk het niet want het is gewoon een gadget van de Mercs, en volgens mij een aardig handige.

king-steven · 28 sep 2006

mooie startpost

zet mij trouwens ook maar bij het lijstje

ben benieuwd heb er zeker zin in

Ik snap je verhaal niet helemaal, Zoiezo het is aan het begin best moeilijk om de drone te besturen van wat ik heb gelezen en gehoord.

Shinobi of the Wind · 28 sep 2006

Mij kun je zeker op je lijstje zetten...deze game gaat zo hard Pwnen...

Sorry, foutje van mij..

Ik had een aantal dingen door elkaar gehaald

Ik vindt het in ieder geval wel een heel gaaf idee. Maar waren die drones nu ook uit te schakelen? Of kan dat alleen als je de Merc hacked?.. mij lijkt dat niet logish want dan kan je hem net zo goed bij zijn nek pakken

Gamersea · 29 sep 2006

Je zou hem vast wel kapot kunnen maken, Drone kan ook maar tot een bepaald punt van de merc af dus als jij bij je spawn zit kan hij er niet komen.

woolyonline · 29 sep 2006

Reken er op dat ik online ben op de release, maar reken er niet op dat je van me wint.

iOcat · 29 sep 2006

Offtopic, heeft er iemand hier mischien zin om vanmidag versus te gaan doen met CT? Ik speel het alleen nog maar op de pc, en ik wil het weer even proberen met de x360 controlls.

Ontopic, wat ik ook nergens heb kunnen vinden is of je als merc nog steeds mogenlijkheid hebt om een shotgun te pakken. Mischien wel een naaj gun, maar heel fijn voor een Merc in een aantal maps.

Gamersea · 29 sep 2006

Nee, Volgens mij heb je nog maar 1 wapen.

Smok3y · 29 sep 2006

Mooie startpost:b:
Zet mijn naam er ook maar bij Smok3y Jay NL
Want als ik eenmaal deze game heb,ga ik er niet meer van achter.

Erg nice om te zien dat je als spy gewoon echt niks meer tegen de mercs kan beginnen qua combat. Heerlijk om die spy de hele tijd mooi zien weg te rennen zonder dat hij enig moeite gaat doen om de merc te killen

Vind ik persoonlijk juist een minpunt.
Ik vond het altijd heerlijk een beetje met de merc te dollen en vervolgens z,n nek om te draaien.

EDIT:

ik heb de achievements van Splinter cell:double agent weten te vinden.

aub!!!!

5: Red diamond
6: Boss house

Als je het zo bekijkt is het wel een minpunt. Maar ik denk dat het nu ook leuker wordt om een merc te zijn. Natuurlijk is een spy zijn altijd gaver. Maar ik vindt dat de mercs wel heel tof geworden zijn. Vanwege de gadgets, en ook omdat ze nu echt gemaakt zijn om te killen. Dat waren ze al, maar dat waren de spy's opzich ook. Ook geeft het denk ik nu een rustgevender gevoel als je een merc bent. Je hoeft nu niet zo veel meer op je eigen leven te letten, en alleen maar aan het op jagen van spy's en killen natuurlijk.

Pimmy · 1 okt 2006

Dat dollen en naakdraaien was juist, naar mijn mening, wat het online zo verpeste (behalve bij deathmatch). Je hebt een doel en dan gaan de spies gewoon keihard door t level heen rennen en om de mercs heen hollen, smoke gooien etc. shocken en dan van achter pakken en nek breken. Dikke pret, mercs waren meer een soort speeltjes van de spies.
