Ubisoft have furಞnished us with further details on Splinter Cell Chaos Theory's multiplayer and to all intents and purposes it's an updated version of Pandora Tomorrow's. However, there are signi🔜ficant tweaks and a couple of new modes to ponder, as well as an impressive PC and Xbox screenshot overload. Good times.

The versus multiplayer borrows from Pandora Tomorrow with two teams going head-to-head. One team takes the third-person stealth role of Shadow Net spies, who have specific infiltration objectives, while their opponents will🅷 offer🦄 resistance as first-person Argus mercenaries with the sole purpose of protecting their compounds.

Scenario mode presents three main, self-explanatory types of objectives, with players focusing on🐬 neutralisation, extraction and bombing, p𒊎lus a new mode in Disk Hunt. Disks are scattered throughout a level and spies have to retrieve a specified number to win.

Co-op multiplay has a nice new continuity twist with your intel-gathering objectives being directly related to❀ the plot of the single-player campaign. In effect, you're helping main man Sam Fisher in his mission to thwart world conflicts. Although there are no specific details, co-op multiplay also features a new knife challenge mode, which is said to offer additional ways for players to collaborate. We presume it's more subtle than "You hold him, while I stab him".

All of the multiplayer modes, new and old, are graced with new maps and support online, system link or 𓄧split-𒅌screen play, depending on your format of choice.

However, the most exciting aspect of Ubisoftꦇ's latest Chaos Theory update is the screenshot of Sam in his new Predator-styled stealth suit. Take a look to the right, salivat🎀e, speculate, anticipate and start saving your money.

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory slipped a little while back from its November release date and will now be out on Xbox and PC in 2005
