Peak third person arena shooter. Really fun, pure chaos! Incredible melee and fatality mechanic, with classic FPS gunplay, and different classes. Pretty smooth transition between FPS gunplay and TPS swordplay.
Revolutionary Spies vs Mercs multiplayer mode was introduced in this Splinter Cell 2. Voice masking was legendary on Xbox Live. Restricted to 4:3 aspect ratio. The better option on modern Xboxes is Double Agent Xbox 360 (Splinter Cell 4).
First COD game to slow player movement based on the primary and secondary weapon. For example, if you are holding a pistol, but have an LMG as secondary, you will run slower with the pistol than you would if you were not carrying the LMG.
