Sam Fisher goes Jack Bauer in the new Splinter Cell Blacklist ‘Fifth Freedom’ trailer

A new trailer for Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist has been released today, shedding light on how Sam Fisher was granted the Fifth Freedom.

What's the Fifth Freedom you ask? As the trailer explains, it's "the right to defend our laws by breaking them; to safeguard secrets by stealing them; to save lives by taking them."

Basically, the Fifth Freedom is the ability to do whatever it takes to protect the our country, and it's something only Sam Fisher has been granted. Well, Sam Fisher and Jack Bauer if you've ever seen the show 24. Today's trailer gives you a look at what that Fifth Freedom entails. Warning: it's quite brutal.
