The 3rd game in the series, an all new gaming experience where you play Sam Fisher and complete various "spy" missions for a government agency called the third echelon.Splinter Cell 3 has been in development by Ubi Soft Montreal (creators of the original Splinter Cell, not Pandora tomorrow) and has been in development since the release of the original. What this mean? The game is going to kick ****, and we don't have to wait an eternity to play it! The year is 2008. Citywide blackouts ... stock exchange sabotage … electronic hijacking of national defense systems...this is information warfare. To prevent these attacks, operatives must infiltrate deep into hostile territory and aggressively collect critical intelligence, closer than ever to enemy soldiers. You are Sam Fisher, the NSA's most elite black-ops agent. To achieve your mission you will kill from close-range, attack with your combat knife, shoot with the prototype Land Warrior rifle, and use radical suppression techniques such as the inverted neck break. Also take on cooperative multiplayer infiltration missions, where teamwork is the ultimate weapon. As the enemy evolves, so must you. The story should continue where the original splinter cell finished. This has been confirmed by the writers of Splinter Cell, and is also foreshadowed in the original game.
