As the release date of Splinter Cell: Conviction is getting closer, we are going to see Ubisoft reveal more info on their upcoming stealth game. Anyway, here’s new details on co-op and multiplayer for Splinter Cell: Conviction straight from OXM (Jan issue):

• Archer and Kestrel are the new co-op characters.
 

• Takes place about 2 months before Conviction.
 

• Roughly 6 hours.
 

• Cover system similar to Gears of War.
 

• If you’re wounded, you can either play dead or use your pistol until your partner heals you or you bleed out.
 

• Deniable Ops (Multiplayer mode): Series of standalone challenges set within the same four stages from the co-op story mode, plus two additional maps:
 

• Hunter: Where players have to kill off all enemy NPCs on the map.
 

• Infiltration: Same concept as Hunter mode, but detection by enemies automatically results in failure.
 

• Last Stand: Protect an EMP warhead from waves of attacking foes.
 

• Face Off: The sole adversarial mode, with players going head-to-head with a costumizable number of A.I. Opponents populating the map.
 

• You earn points through out the SP and MP.
 

• Change your character look online.
 

• Persistent Elite Creation system: Upgrade Weapons/Gadgets/Appearance.
 

• Six Maps (four for the story co-op and two only for Deniable Ops).
