Versus Mode Redefined is a total conversion modification made for Splinter Cell Blacklist Spies Versus Mercenaries multiplayer game. It's inspired by Splinter Cell Chaos Theory Versus Mode. (designed by Sephoroid and team of devs: K4CZP3R & Shryder - launcher code designers; JaRuTo - advertisement, gameplay tester & advisor, moderator of discord channel and other sites.)

Modification works as an addon which means that it does not replace the original files from the game and can be turned "on" and "off" at any time.

VMR Spies vs Mercenaries mode revolves around the idea of cat and mouse gameplay.
It’s stealthy and slow paced multiplayer game in which opposing fractions are very different from each other, and each one represents different playstyle.

Mercenaries are highly trained spec ops soldiers, who spent years training their hand to hand combat, melee weapons defense tactics, physical posture and aiming precision with many firearms. 

Spies are top secret agents. They have spent years training ways of ninjutsu and are highly trained in the art of stealth.
Spies mastered karambit knife fighting techniques with a strong focus on dealing lethal blows in crouch, from above and below.
They are also skilled hackers trained to steal intel unnoticed without a trace. 

In VMR SvM Spies can’t kill mercenaries from the front to support stealthy and slow-paced gameplay.
Instead they must sneak crouched to a mercenary so they can perform a lethal attack from any angle but frontal.
Mercenaries are trained spec ops soldiers who spent years on building muscles and train hand to hand combat which makes them nearly impossible to kill in direct frotnal confrontation.
And on top of that spy's training was never focused on fighting their opponents frontally, as ninjutsu training allows spies to be ghosts and with use of shadows get a mercenary from any desired angle but frontal. 

Both teams have different objectives.
Mercenaries defend the terminals from being hacked, in meanwhile they focus on hunting down any intruders.

Spies need to hack all of the terminals as fast as they can, and avoid being detected.
The VMR mod strongly emphasizes that both teams have different goals and mercs are the ones who are supposed to pursue kills, as they are the hunters.
Spies are also able to kill mercs, but that isn't their primary goal throughout the match.
This means that killing mercenaries as a spy doesn’t always pay off.
The VMR mod tries not to reward spies for pursuing kills as their objective is much different from that. Killing mercenaries is supposed to be just a tool to get to the objective.
Spies in order to kill a mercenary need to gain an unfair advantage by using shadows, gadgets and team work.
If spy gets lit by a mercenary's flashlight the only option is to run away and hide, trying to attack a mercenary while being detected is simply a suicide.
The gameplay of the VMR mod is slow and difficult, but very rewarding.

If you are looking for a game in which you’ll get 30 kills during a 10 minute match, the VMR mod probably isn't what You’re looking for.
