Some articles I've read suggest there might be several steps per kill (setting up your sneaky-ass approach etc), but since combat is to be avoided I imagine it'll be like the better Hitman levels: cruising around planning, a kill, and then running like a crazy man. Shame no uzis or disguises, though.

Wasn't there a scene in the trailer where the assassin is dressed in Christian armor?

And you can "blend in" by changing actions.

On a similar note - how fucking hot does Splinter Cell Convictions look like it will be?

Bah, I bet that IS super-hard mode. If you die in one hit on normal, I'll be utterly shocked: most people don't like that sort of thing.

Personally, I wouldn't play this game on anything lower then - the vaguely realistic resistence to death tickles my fancy. I want to pull through combat on the back of my skills with this games (frankly awesome) combat mechanics, not because I can tank a Knight Templar's blows.

Although, fucking with archers would be nasty ... until you get close enough for some backfist-off-rooftop action.

Fucking with Archers should be nasty. Though I always find that I lack proper situational awareness for this kind of high-lethality environment.

Just can't follow from a 2D screen in what creative ways four or five people are trying to kill me right now.

It's true of course. One second you're walking along, next second there is hardwood shaft with a broad head expertly placed in your groin from fifty metres away.

Adapt or die.

You, sir, have some masochistic taste in gaming

Yeah! I see the light now! I gonna implant myself with a situational awareness enhancement package: install eight-way directional speakers into my earlobes, replace my right arm with a direct control interface and modify pain receptors so that I can feel pain and air movement on my skin!

...or just choose the "giant pussy" difficulty level
