I wonder why Multi Player is such a big secret, many new games show Multi Player Game play on their first advertisement videos. This is the only reason why most of us are even here still is the anticipation of Multi Player. I never really played Single person missions on prior Socoms, so SP can have what ever it wants in it. Do you think Zipper is actually nervous to release Multi Player video because of all the raising hell we do. ?

There's no conspiracy regarding reasons for not talking about multiplayer yet. It simply comes down to wanting to spread out the information outpour between the announcement and release, and Sony decided that they wanted to focus on single-player at E3. So that's where we're at.
I don't know if this factored into the decisions at all, but it's worth pointing out that it's a lot easier to show single-player content at E3 than it is multiplayer as people would have to wait for others, if you don't know the rules it can be confusing, etc. etc. Again, I don't know if that factored into the MP vs. SP for E3 decision, but I'd guess it was at least part of it.
