Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

You should be ashamed of yourself, TNL, for not creating an official thread until after this game's release.

ANYWAY, Chaos Theory looks to be in the running for Best Xbox Game Evar, if only for the multiplayer modes. Here is a 1up.com review.

Ubisoft's well-deserved reputation for sweating the details is also on bold display during online play. The big news -- a co-op mode playable over Xbox Live, is so well done it's scary. Rather than have you simply cover each other as you make your way around the single-player levels the Chaos Theory design team took it to a new level, literally and figuratively. Custom co-op moves make working together essential to scale walls, take out surveillance and pick off enemies. And though some of the positions adopted by your spies appear unintentionally hilarious ("Mind if I put my face in your ass for a moment? Thanks!") the result is a game where co-operation is essential, and expertly woven in to the fabric of the dedicated co-op missions. For those who found themselves lasting all of two minutes playing Pandora Tomorrow's tough online game, this is a beautifully executed alternative. Of course, for those of a more masochistic bent, the full Mercs vs Spies multiplayer modes are fully present, with excellent new maps and some neat training levels to ease in the rookies.

Buy it now, so I have someone to be terrible with.

I would have but I didn't want some tit baby crying that there already was an online thread for it. :D


I picked it up today. Limited Edition. I havent played it yet. I had to try DOOM 3 first. I'm so pumped to have the night off and tomorrow.

I played through the 1st level and I have to say it was fanfuckingtastic.
:link:

"What are you doing in my house?"

"OH SNAP!" :D

I've heard from three different people that the Co-op is very glitchy at times, and the game even drops you at times. Did ubisoft bite it again? Or can they patch it for what they're famous for. I haven't played any single player except on the demo and the new multiplayer maps rock. It seems a whole lot easier to snap necks now and the Merc Assault rifle doesn't seem as powerful as it did before. The only advantage of it is that you can snipe with it, but if you are going to play a more closed quarters map use the shotgun for more knock down power. This is the best new Merc weapon I've seen so far introduced. Active camo seems to be very helpful in certain situations but if you use it in a lighted area you can still be spotted with a trained eye. The lighting effects on the single player are amazing though, one of the best looking games I've played on the Xbox and it plays well also.

I cannot believe that this doesn't support 480p on the Xbox. I bought it for my wife, as I am not a fan of the series. Otherwise, I would have gotten the PC version. Not supporting HDTV and 5.1 in 2005 should get your licensee status removed.

The 480p box isn't checked because the versus mode doesn't support widescreen (even though it supports progressive scan.) Single player and co-op are both 480p and widescreen.

Theres a lot of xbox games that the features on the back of the box are fucked up. Anyone else notice that?
