Free Splinter Cell Level Downloads
More maps for co-operative and competitive multiplayer - if you're into that sort of thing.
The push to get consoles online has many advantages, one of them being the ability to bring in new content after you've taken the game home. Amateur spies with a hankering for more action can do just that in the new multiplayer maps for the console and PC versions of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.
The four levels, which Ubisoft is releasing for free over the summer, expand on both player-vs-player and co-operative gameplay.
The first map, Steel Squat, is available now. Set in New York's Brooklyn borough, the map lets spies and feds go at it in indoor and outdoor player-vs-player competition. This first download will also include fixes for several problems people have experienced during online multiplayer.
Two maps for co-operative play, based in a nuclear reactor plant in North Korea and UN Headquarters in New York, will be out sometime during the next few weeks, and another player-vs-player map, Polar Base, will be released at the end of the summer.
