The Special Ops mod aims to open up Blacklist to the player, giving you many new options for tactics and customization, while removing many of the handicaps that made the game easier and as a result, less rewarding. You'll find it's much harder for the player to control the battlefield and track enemies. A fully stealthy approach is the safest but most difficult. Getting spotted can be very deadly if you are unprepared. You'll have to use a much wider range of tactics to evade and eliminate hostiles rather than striking from the shadows over and over - preparation is key. Hostile guards are sharp and deadly, and enemy commandos can be downright scary.
