Other features include the ability to peak through a door before going through or use an optic cable camera (a 'snake' camera) to peer through the underside, to check what is ahead. They can also be interrogated or be used as human shields. Therefore enemies can be taken hostage by holding a gun to their head.

Some enemies are needed to activate a door or passcode. Fisher can for instance jump down from the ceiling and knock an opponent unconscious. Opponents can be stunned, killed, or subdued. He can use weapons, but the noise might alert guards and that generally makes it more difficult to complete missions. There are different approaches to taking out enemies. He can walk, run, crouch, jump, rappel, shimmy, cross horizontal wires, zip using a zip cord, and do a split jump. To get around and reach his objectives, Fisher has a variety of moves at his disposal. His missions are so discreet, that if he is captured the government will deny any such existence of that organization. The organization deals with very sensitive missions, often taken on by a Third Echelon splinter cell division Fisher is part of.

The player takes on the role of Sam Fisher, an operative for the secret organization NSA Black Operation, part of the U.S.
