Also, it no longer matters what direction Sam attacks from when using melee attacks, nor does it matter if enemies are aware of his presence, as opposed to earlier entries in the series where he had to attack from behind or on the side and the enemy could not be alerted to him in order to take them down in one hit. Sam can use the knife in multiple ways, such as threatening an enemy during an interrogation, killing an enemy in close-quarters combat, or piercing gas tanks on generators to aid in his stealth operations. Even killing civilians or friendly soldiers may not cause Fisher to fail the mission, although doing so will at least cause Fisher to be severely chastised by his superior and cost him significantly his mission score, as well as cancelling some mission objectives, such as tapping phone lines and locating covert listening devices.Ĭhaos Theory adds a combat knife to Sam's close-quarters combat abilities. However, triggering too many alarms will no longer cause the game to end automatically. This enables players to leave bodies lying out in the open, and, as long as the player has eliminated all NPCs and disabled all cameras, no alarms will be triggered.īeing spotted by enemies will still trigger alarms, and alarms will still cause enemies to become more alert and combat-ready (such as causing them to wear ballistic vests and helmets). In Chaos Theory, the bodies must be discovered by a patrolling guard or security camera to trigger an alarm. If any were found, an alarm would be triggered. After Sam left an area in former titles, the game would sweep the previous area for all unconscious or dead bodies in a well-lit spot. The AI detection has been altered as well. It is important for Sam to make less noise than his surroundings otherwise, the enemy guards will hear him. In addition to the standard light bar, the game also features an aural monitor that measures Sam's noise, along with the ambient noise of the environment. Ĭhaos Theory features refined stealth mechanics. Chaos Theory is also the first game in the Splinter Cell series to use ragdoll physics. The game features significant changes and improvements to the series' basic gameplay. Another port titled Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 3D was released for the Nintendo 3DS on March 25, 2011. A remastered HD edition was bundled with the first two games of the series as part of the Splinter Cell Trilogy for the PlayStation 3, released on December 20, 2010.

Don Jordan returned from the original game to voice Third Echelon director Irving Lambert, and Claudia Besso returned as the hacker and analyst Anna Grímsdóttir, having both been replaced by Dennis Haysbert and Adriana Anderson, respectively, in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow.Ĭhaos Theory was a commercial success, selling 2.5 million units across all platforms within a month of its release. Actor Michael Ironside reprised his role as Fisher. As a result, it was the first Splinter Cell game to receive an M-rating by the ESRB, an assessment which has since been applied to all subsequent releases in the series. The game has a significantly darker tone than its predecessors, featuring more combat and the option for Fisher to kill people he interrogates instead of merely knocking them out.
