It's time for Splinter Cell 3

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 3 (Working Title), the next installment in the now-legendary Splinter Cell franchise will be shown for the first time ever in a theater-style demo at Ubisoft's E3 booth. Splinter Cell 3 is currently scheduled for a PC launch in late 2004.

Splinter Cell 3 will feature better fluidity of moves, and more stealthy type kills, complementing the amazing graphics, rag doll physics, particle effects and perfect interaction with the environment. Taking on the all-new A.I. will be much more of a mission, as they have personal attributes, natural behavior where non-playable-characters are aware of their environment and will be able to remember past events. However, you will also have many more weapons at your disposal, including weapons of the future.

"The year is 2008. Information Warfare has evolved into the most dangerous threat to global stability. You are Sam Fisher, Third Echelon's most skilled Splinter Cell operative. You are assigned to execute a hazardous series of operations to investigate and eliminate a new source of information attacks, originating in North Korea. To succeed, you will employ a host of unconventional counterintelligence activities to gather intel, disrupt enemy operations and neutralize adversary targets."

"As Information Warfare evolves, so must the Splinter Cell. You must penetrate deeper into hostile territory and operate undetected, closer to the enemy than ever before. At your disposal is a lethal array of tactics ranging from Combat Knife techniques, experimental prototype weapons skills, and more radical hand-to-hand techniques such as the Inverted Chokehold. Experience the thrill of acting as a lone operative fighting tomorrow's threats in the field, and of cooperating online with a partner to accomplish crucial missions. Die in action, and the free world dies with you."
