Spies versus Mercenaries Classic Mode for Splinter Cell: Double Agent

We, the undersigned, are presenting this petition to Ubisoft, in the hopes that Ubisoft will take and consider feedback from the community that made Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory's multiplayer mode, Spies versus Mercenaries, such a success.

After seeing previews on the new version of the game, we are disappointed that the ability to play in the way that the game was originally designed (the gameplay found in Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory) is not present. While we realize the gameplay changes were made to help open up the community to new players, we feel that it would greatly enhance your product to present the option to play the game as it has been played in previous iterations in the series. New players would be able to play the present version of the game, with a lower learning curve, while we, your loyal fans, would be able to play the mode we enjoy.

We suggest that in the future, you might consider releasing downloadable content that would re-create the experience of the Spies versus Mercenaries gameplay found in Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory. This content would not have to re-invent the game in any way from its previous forms, but merely emulate them. We suggest the former static defenses found in levels, such as laser tripwires and motion detectors, be placed into existing maps, and that all gadgets from Chaos Theory should be available for players to use.

We believe Xbox Live Marketplace and digital distribution over the internet would be good ways to distribute this product, as it would eliminate the cost of creating disks and shipping them to retailers.

We are great fans of your outstanding franchise, and as such we would greatly appreciate it if steps were taken by you, Ubisoft, to preserve the gameplay that we enjoy so dearly.
