Sam Fisher is back for new espionage and intrigue missions in Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Relive the gripping suspense of choosing between a head-on approach, guns blazing, or stealth in this new installment, enhanced with exceptional improvements. Chaos Theory raises the bar even higher with significantly improved graphics, an open world, and a cooperative mode.
Fresh from operations in East Timor, Fisher is now on the front lines of information warfare. It is 2008, and the world is plagued by widespread power outages, stock market sabotage, and electronic attacks on national defense systems. The stakes are high, and Fisher, an elite agent for the NSA's covert operations, is embedded in intensive intelligence-gathering operations.
A wide range of missions requires a formidable arsenal and close-quarters combat techniques. While Chaos Theory demands the same agility and dexterity as previous Splinter Cell games, new weapons, gadgets, and techniques make their debut, such as the Land Warrior prototype rifle and the stealthy yet deadly “reverse neck breaker.”
In addition to an improved graphics engine, the physics have also been optimized. Improvements such as ragdoll physics, particle effects, and realistic interaction with the environment make the Splinter Cell experience more immersive than ever. Just as awareness of the environment was crucial in previous Splinter Cell games, Chaos Theory requires you to master the subtle balance between light and shadow to survive.
Chaos Theory offers excellent replayability in solo play thanks to its expansive open levels. There are always several ways to reach your objectives. At the beginning of each mission, these objectives are communicated to you, but it is up to you to choose how to accomplish them. You are free to favor infiltration or direct confrontation. Should you choose nonlethal weapons, a substantial arsenal, or a mix of both? The choice is yours.
The Splinter Cell franchise is renowned for its tense, stealth-focused multiplayer modes, and Chaos Theory is no exception. This version offers unique cooperative modes in which you and your teammates must complete infiltration missions. Try to help one another and survive. Master the darkness and strike at the right moment.
