So Much Action (Splinter Cell: Conviction Trailer)

I have conflicting emotions after viewing the trailer above, and if you've read my hands-on impression you may understand. Essentially my two main fears for SCC were that too frequently the player would be forced to step out of the shadows into action, and that Fisher wouldn't have access to his usual array of gadgets. My first fear was mostly alleviated after X10, but Sam's lack of gadgets was still a concern. Post action packed trailer my initial fear is surfacing again, but the second has now submerged; you see my confliction? Now there's solid evidence that Fisher -- either through an alliance or less reputable methods -- has procured gadgets, wonderful! But he also comes across as some Hollywood bad-ass hero, not a phantom who strikes from the shadows.

It looks like there will be only one way to tell for certain: wait till the full game releases in April. Who knows, maybe they're purposefully screwing with our emotions to keep the pre-game buzz up.
