The new Co-Operative maps in
Tom Clancy?s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory require players to work together to accomplish crucial intelligence-gathering objectives that are directly related to the plot of the single-player game. Pairs of operatives must develop trust and be willing to depend on one another as they use a host of new gadgets and team-based maneuvers to infiltrate enemy strongholds, and help Sam Fisher defuse escalating conflicts around the world. In tandem, the operatives will help each other complete tasks such as scaling walls too high to climb alone, reaching pipes too high for one person, and keeping watch while hacking enemy computers. Created to support online, System Link, or split-screen game sessions, the specifically-designed, unique maps emphasize stealth gameplay based on shadow detection and A.I. stimulus, forcing players to attain a new level of strategic coordination using a headset and microphone, or talking each other through the tension from opposite ends of the sofa. A special Co-Op knife challenge mode offers additional ways for players to collaborate, and further enhances replayability. Graphically rich, with impressive use of shadow, light, animations, physics, and sound technology, the Co-Operative maps will push the limits of online play and reaffirm the
Splinter Cell franchise?s position as the leader in multiplayer
innovation.
The Versus multiplayer gameplay of Pandora Tomorrow completely revolutionized online gaming, and with Chaos Theory, this competitive, addictive game mode continues to evolve. Players will work as teams, and will compete against each other by embodying either stealthy, third-person Shadow Net Spies with specific stealth objectives, or heavily armed, first-person Argus Mercenaries charged
with protecting their compounds. In several completely new levels, players will have at their disposal a host of new cooperative maneuvers and interactions, gadgets and weapons, hand-to-hand combat actions, additional ways to taunt adversaries, and three game modes (Scenario, Disk Hunt, and Deathmatch). With destructible items, integrated climate affects that directly impact gameplay, and totally redesigned visuals designed to improve accessibility and immersion, the adversarial gameplay will make Tom Clancy?s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory the most diverse and immersive multiplayer game on the market.
