I have no doubts this will be an awesome game and I very much look forward to playing it (and possibly buying it).
However I must express my concern on how the Splinter Cell franchise developed. I absolutely loved the first one - not only because it was a ground breaking (with the shadows engine and whatnot) but because it was a quality product. I've got to be honest, I felt a good deal of decline in overall quality with the later games (most through out the story lines).
I much prefered when Fisher was with TE.
BTW, Michael Ironside is awesome.
