E3 trailer of Splinter Cell: Blacklist depicts co-op, multiplayer action

Ubisoft showcased a new trailer for Splinter Cell: Blacklist at their E3 conference, giving us a better look at some footage from the co-operative and the Spies vs Mercs multiplayer modes. The developers have confirmed that there will be at least 14 co-op missions, in which players can step into the shoes of primary protagonist and leader of the elite Fourth Echelon unit Sam Fisher or that of skilled agent Isaac Briggs.

While the singleplayer and co-op modes focus on curbing the terrorist Blacklist strikes, the multiplayer portion brings back the extremely gratifying Spies Vs Mercs mode, in which playing as the former means staying stealthy, keeping to the shadows and planning quick surgical takedowns, while the latter involves defending strategic points and using lethal firepower to eliminate the pesky sneaky spies.
