Alright as you may or may not know I go to E3 every year and today was the first day of it. So I am going to talk about Splinter Cell Blacklist. First off blacklist takes place after conviction. 4th echelon has been established to replace 3rd echelon. Sam Fisher is in charge of 4th echelon, a government organization with the security clearance of delta, DEV/GRU, or SAD.

Blacklist runs off the same system as conviction, so you can engage targets in firefights without sentencing yourself to death. this time its has a moving execute sequence which will keep you mobile even while using mark and execute. Being the leader also allows you to call in close air support, which is pretty cool.

Something everyone should know, Michael Ironside did not do the voice of Sam Fisher in this new game. He has been Sam's voice actor since the first one 10 years ago. I asked why he didn't, but never got my answer. Look for Splinter Cell Blacklist in spring of 2013.
