According to a report on SC4 for the Xbox360 in the latest Game Informer magazine, a bunch of new details about the game have been revealed. This time around Sam will be in a situation unlike any before, and we will see a broken and desperate man. The Ubisoft Shanghai studios are really turning things upside down this time, and that is good, it is what keeps a series fresh. As we already know, tragedy strikes Sam and his daughter is killed by a drunk driver. Since Sam is overcome with grief, Lambert is forced to pull Sam off active duty with Echelon. Since Sam seeks solace in his work, he begs Lambert for a mission and Sam gets the only position available as NOC agent. An NOC operative is someone who is put undercover into a criminal organization or drug ring, but since they are a Non-Offical Cover operative, if they are found out then they are on their own.This game will immerse players much more in the world of international espionage than the previous games. This time Sam finds himself on US soil infiltrating a terrorist organization called JBA - John Brown's Army. John Brown is likely a reference to the anti-slavery advocate of the 1800s (remember Harper's Ferry - high school was not that long ago for some of you). Like the historical brown, the organization breaks laws to further the cause of freedom, or so they believe. Of course, Sam must first earn their trust before he can begin to infiltrate them, and to do so he is put in jail with one of the group's members whose name is Jamie.
Sam and Lambert hatch a plan to turn Sam into one of the country's most notorious criminals, and once Sam joins the JBA, the game takes a turn like no other SC game before it. The gameplay mechanics will mostly remain the same, but because he is now playing a criminal, Sam will have to complete terrorist objectives as well. At times Sam will have to choose between remaining under cover and completing the JBA missions or doing the right thing and risk losing his cover.
