Topic on User talk:Edisleado

I have made a number of tweaks to the page Splinter_Cell:_Chaos_Theory_Versus.

I would appreciate it if you could help to clarify a few things which may help new players coming across this game:

• CD key comes with the retail package - is one required for Steam as well? Does the Steam CD key need to be registered anywhere?
• As far as I know Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is the name of the game (rather than Versus)?
• Is it VS mode or Versus mode? I can mostly find references to VS.

Thanks for your help on this project - I can see this becoming a very important page for keeping this game alive.

Hi Andytizer,

This game is not linked to Steam, the CD key you receive in the retail package or by buying on Steam are one and the same type. Players are asked to enter their CD key when attempting to play Versus online for the first time. However, these keys are not actually 'registered' or consumed when entered, so a number of different people can use the same CD key (but not concurrently).

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory has 3 modes: the single player campaign, co-op, and Versus. The single player/co-op campaigns use a different engine than Versus -- the prior has no problems rendering on modern machines, while the latter has many issues (thus the need for this page).

VS mode is just short for Versus -- technically, the official name is "Spies vs. Mercenaries".

This is an relatively old, but great game. There's nothing quite like it and it has been difficult to find fixes without having to dig up old threads on next to dead forums.

Sincerely,
