Ubisoft has announced the immediate availability of a new Versus multiplayer map for Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory on PC and Xbox. The new map, Steel Squat, is set in Brooklyn, New York and features innovative level design, combining indoor and outdoor gameplay.
Two new Co-op maps are also in the works – Nuclear Plant, set in North Korea, and UN Headquarters, set in New York. Nuclear Plant has claustrophobic passages and massive open spaces, with lots of large, loud machinery and puzzles. UN Headquarters gives you the chance to infiltrate one of the world’s most protected buildings. This mission requires total invisibility with no room for kills or alarms.
Another Versus map will follow in the summer – Polar Base. Best of all is that all this content will be free.
The new download will also contain an update for the Xbox game to address the following issues.
Lights: Correction on light status on clients.
Description: Some lights were not replicated correctly depending on clients or host (some lights could appear to be ‘On’ instead of ‘Off’).
Lights: Correction on coronas display.
Description: Coronas lights were not activated on the retail Xbox version of the game.
Bombing mode and radar: Host doesn’t see anymore where bombs are placed on the radar. He has to seek for it, just like the clients.
Aquarius map: In “Aquarius” map, a Mercenary grabbed by a Spy doesn’t get stuck in the crunching box: it dies with the Spy.
Description: Some mercenaries were stuck in a box in Aquarius map.
Alternate rules and ranking mode: It’s no longer possible to play ranking games when alternate rules are set
Description: It was possible to play with alternate rules in ranking mode. Use alternate rules, choose some option, then activate the ranking mode.
Tutorial mode: Tutorial mode appears clearly for everyone in the lobby
Description: Now if the tutorial mode is set, the message appears clearly on the screen and the clients are set to “Not Ready”.
Spy bullet: Correction on some Spy bullets that were not working properly.
Description: Sometimes, there was a glitch on Spy bullets if you used them first on a wall, then on a Mercenary.
Camera detectors: Correction on Camera that always displays its detection information.
Description: On “ClubHouse” and “Factory” maps, the camera was always displaying detection information, if a spy was killed while being detected
