New Splinter Cell: Conviction trailer details co-op modes, gears

Ubi's just dropped an awesome Splinter Cell: Conviction multiplayer trailer, showing off both a prequel co-op story mode and four Deniable Ops modes.

The co-op campaign acts as a prequel to the single-player storyline, following "intel" from St Petersburg to the Caucasus.

The four co-op battle modes are available both online and split-screen, and include Hunter, Face-Off, Last Stand and Infiltration modes.

The trailer includes plenty of new gameplay footage.

Splinter Cell: Conviction is the latest in Ubi's Clancy series, following two separate protagonists Archer and Kestrel as they murder people for a laugh. That's simplifying things a little, but you know what we mean.

The game's out for PC and 360 on April 16. The game contains an invite to Ghost Recon: Future Soldier's multiplayer beta, which takes place this summer.
