Ubisoft made a pretty big announcement today regarding Splinter Cell Conviction.  Details are now available on the co-op and multiplayer modes for the game.  The co-op campaign mode acts as a prequel to the game's single player story.  Alternatively, you can team up for Deniable Ops Missions that feature four game modes.

Both the co-op campaign and Deniable Ops Missions have four maps and three different difficulty levels.  You can also earn points by completing challenges to upgrade your equipment and change the look of your character.  There's a lot more information in the press release so take a look.  They also released a video explaining the premise of the co-op campaign.  Take a look at the footage below and get ready to jump back into the shoes of Sam Fisher in February.
