Splinter Cell: Blacklist video preview

Ahhhh! There's nothing like a bit of incidental henchmen banter to start off the morning.

This won't be like the airfield, Fisher. They never got over that airfield.
Fortunately, our latest slice of Splinter Cell: Blacklist gameplay suggests that Ubisoft Toronto has more tricks up its jet-black kevlar-mesh sleeve than just repetitive NPC speech. There's little baubles that light up when Sam's in shadow, a new voice actor to process, a way of kicking someone in the head while hanging upside down from a drainpipe, and lots of other lethal and non-lethal ways of getting your Echelon.
