'Splinter Cell Blacklist' gets a 'Ghost' playthrough

Earlier this month, we got an extended look at Sam Fisher raiding a Middle Eastern compound in Splinter Cell Blacklist, this time we get to see Fisher picking through the compound with much less bravado and more more stealth.

The Ghost playthrough, Splinter Cell community developer Zack Cooper explains, shows an alternate way to approach the same mission, this time without guns blazing or the support of a Fourth Echelon team. Instead of killing everyone he sees, when he sees them, Fisher is more particular in his death taking. The first three minutes alone show how you can drop your kill count from seven down to zero with a little bit of scrambling and hiding.

Splinter Cell Blacklist is due out on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 next spring.
