GameSpot has kicked up a preview on the multiplayer portion of Ubisoft's upcoming stealth title, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Here's a bit on the Mercs:

Mercs also have other neat gadgets, such as mines that can both stick to walls and serve as trip wires to catch fleeing spies and a gas mask to defend against gas grenades. They also can tap into a building's camera network to monitor other areas. And the two enhanced vision modes from Pandora Tomorrow, motion tracking and electromagnetic vision, are still there as well. In a related nice touch, a Shadownet operative can tell what vision mode a merc is employing by gauging the tint of the merc's visor. Mercs also have access to a tazer, which is useful for stunning a spy to keep him from running away. Mercs have a flare launcher as well, which helps light up the many dark corners of the game.
