In previous Splinter Cells, your goal as a player was not to disturb the AI so you could slip by unnoticed, in Conviction, you HAVE to disturb them if you want to avoid their attention, so more than likely, you'll be creating chaos and mayhem to reach your goals,

Our core game play and AI systems are so robust and deep,we can basically let the player off the leash and allow them to explore game play opportunities. They can create insane levels of chaos and panic, and the systems will follow without a sweat.

We want the levels to look, on the surface, as living, complex environments; then, as a player will progress through the game, he'll begin to analyze his environment differently: "Maybe if I blend with this crowd here, I can walk past this cop unnoticed, then push this guy hanging out outside the café to draw out the security guard inside, lure him behind the building and ambush him there."
