Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (or Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory) is a Stealth-Based Game and the third entry in the Splinter Cell series, released on Sixth Generation consoles and PC in 2005.From Peru to Panama, New York, Japan, North Korea and South Korea, it's up to Sam Fisher to stop a network of Private Military Contractors that weaponized an algorithm and intends to use it to trigger an international conflict starting with East Asia.This entry added considerably to the gameplay, most notably with a host of optional secondary objectives in any given mission, but also with a more open-ended environment; new moves like the "inverted neck-break" and effective hand-to-hand combat moves to knock enemies out in case an enemy bumps into Sam; several neat new gadgets; a sound meter in addition to your light meter; a reworked graphics engine; noticeably more believable enemy AI; and a statistical breakdown of how you performed in a mission, giving added incentive to achieve perfect stealth and minimal casualties. To this day, Chaos Theory is widely considered to have been the high point of the Splinter Cell series.Followed by Splinter Cell: Double Agent on home consoles and PC, and Splinter Cell: Essentials on PlayStation Portable. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Video Game) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: In the fourth level (the Penthouse), a living room area with a couple of guards contains a television. On the screen is... the title screen cutscene loop for Chaos Theory, with the soundtrack of the Paris cryogenic lab mission from Pandora Tomorrow. If the guards had ever come off shift and played the thing, they might have had quite the shock. | |

Good Guns, Bad Guns | |
| Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Video Game) / int_25afd4a3 | comment |
Good Guns, Bad Guns: Lampshaded early into the first mission. Sam's used to the bad guys using AKs, and has at such had a lot of them fired at him in his time, so he can immediately tell just from the firing noise that something's off when small-time Peruvian guerillas turn out to be carrying enhanced versions of the AUG; a side-objective for this and the next mission is to scan and then tag crates of weapons to find out where exactly they're getting advanced hardware from. | |

Master of None: Redding's Recommendation loadouts are supposed to give a balance of ammo and gadgets, but in practice end up leaving the player with too few of either to be of any real use, forcing the player who takes his recommendation to rely on knocking guards out manually or avoiding them entirely. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Video Game) / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: Players who can speak Japanese will probably predict that the Red Nishin Gang (read: Red Herring) isn't actually the brains behind everything. Also, in the PC version, there is an option to have enemies speak in their native language. So, when you're in Peru and Panama, bad guys will speak in Spanish, if you're in Seoul or North Korea, they'll speak Korean, if you're in Tokyo or Hokkaido, they'll speak Japanese, so on and so forth. | |

You Have Failed Me | |
| Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Video Game) / int_474e3977 | comment |
You Have Failed Me: In the Battery level, a North Korean colonel shoots one of his own men after the soldier failed to ascertain what happened when a missile launched itself at a U.S. ship. Somewhat justified as the said man was the second-in-command who the colonel (mistakenly) assumed fired that missile without his approval, and such screwup is about to start a global war. One North Korean officer in the Seoul Co-Op mission does the same as well. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: After the previous two games treated alarms as "lives", meaning Lambert would arbitrarily pull the plug if the alarm went off three times, this game treats them differently: the first mission doesn't even give its enemies a central alarm system, and when you infiltrate a ship that does have one for the second mission: | |

But Thou Must! | |
| Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Video Game) / int_504e271f | comment |
But Thou Must!: A teeny-tiny one. There is one enemy at the very end of the first level who must be knocked out or killed before you can call for extraction to end the level (though this is justified as Sam could not safely board a helicopter with an enemy guard right beside him). The rest of the game allows you to invokedsneak by absolutely everyone without a whole lot of trouble. Except in That One Level (the bathhouse), and even that can be done. Your reward is basically a Bragging Rights Reward, but you'll feel warm and fuzzy inside. At the end of the second level, it's impossible to non-lethally take out Hugo Lacerda after interrogating him; no matter which button you press, it will result in Sam killing him. The same thing goes with Milan Nedich in the sixth mission. To make up for it, these two don't actually count against 100% stealth like any other kill would. | |

Wham Episode | |
| Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Video Game) / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: The Battery level is chock full of Whams right from the beginning, where a North Korean anti-ship missile is launched at the USS Clarence E. Walsh, and an information-warfare attack cripples its defenses and leaves it a sitting duck to be sunk by that missile. Sam infiltrates the battery that the missile came from to learn whether it was an intentional act of war or Dvorak was used to autonomously launch by a third party. Right as Sam checks the launcher and confirms the Dvorak fingerprint, Grim states that she can't trace the origin of the launch signal any farther than South Korea's capital, opening the real possibility that they are trying to manipulate America into war... and then North Korea commits, leaving you to abort another missile before you can finish up here, and sending you off to a war-torn Seoul for your next mission. | |

| Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Several interrogations and conversations overheard between guards make reference to missions from the first game: One mercenary you can interrogate in the Bathhouse level mentions that thermal vision won't help in seeing through the steam in the actual baths, since steam is hot, unlike fog in someplace like an abattoir - that being the setting of the third-to-last mission of the original. Near the start of the Kokubo Sosho level, you can overhear a conversation between two guards who talk about how the post has to be the cushiest job they could hope for, one of them saying that trying to break into the Kokubo Sosho would be like trying to break into the CIA headquarters in America, which is exactly what Fisher did about halfway through the first game. | |

Elite Mooks | |
| Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Video Game) / int_9edbda07 | comment |
Elite Mooks: The ISDF commandos are... disappointing. The ones in the Bathhouse wear night-vision goggles, but that just means that it's a little easier for them to spot you if you move rapidly near them. They still can't see you in normal darkness even if they have a perfect line-of-sight, as long as you move slowly and/or are more than a dozen or so feet away from them. The ones in the Kokubo Sosho wear gas-masks instead, but that just means the gas from diversion cameras won't work on them, and there are routes to bypass them completely. Big Bad Shetland's personal bodyguards, on the other hand, have thermal vision goggles and are the only enemies in the entire series who can see you perfectly even in pitch darkness. | |

Alternate History: It's safe to say that no open conflict has erupted between the Koreas in the 2000s and up to this day, Seoul has not been invaded and so on. | |

Epic Fail | |
| Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Video Game) / int_b4eff8a8 | comment |
Epic Fail: According to an email you can find during the mission to a North Korean missile battery, one of the men stationed there managed to order 5.56mm NATO ammunition, a Western cartridge that they don't use in any of their weapons, something the soldier writing the email points out, also noting that he didn't even think was possible to order 5.56note While some North Korean special forces units have been reported as using various South Korean weapons that use 5.56mm NATO ammunition during infiltration missions during the Cold War, it wouldn't be something a low-ranking member of the KPA could just order, especially one stationed in a coastal fort, for obvious reasons. | |

Cutting the Knot | |
| Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Video Game) / int_c2299d6e | comment |
Cutting the Knot: Lockpicking on doors can be skipped at the expense of being louder by just breaking the lock with the knife. This can make it very tempting to not bother to learn how to lockpick, but lockpicking is still necessary during the bank mission to crack the safe. | |

Hope Spot | |
| Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Video Game) / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: During the Battery level, Sam finds hard evidence that the North Koreans did not launch the missile that sank the Walsh, information that could help prevent a war. Then North Korea commits to war anyway, forcing you to quickly stop another missile before it can sink the Ronald Reagan. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Video Game) / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: In Seoul level, there is no background music, just silence. This gives the level an eerie feel, combined with the imagery of war going on everywhere (fires, AAA tracer fire, fog, etc.). | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Video Game) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Compared to the first two installments, one can make a case for this regarding this game. The music is much more upbeat, Sam's snarky humor is at its peak, the enemy dialogue has a lot more humor in it (especially when they are talking to each other, or some funny Easter Egg interrogations), the missions all have much more vibrant, colourful and lively locales, Lambert's witty dialogue is at its best, and the overall tone of the game is quite a bit less dour. Which is not to say the plot itself fits, though - the first level features Morgenholt's torture, the Seoul mission gives you a Sadistic Choice and of course Shetland is one of the primary villains, and all the while you're trying to avert World War III. | |

Developer's Foresight: If a mission reaches Alarm Stage 4 (Full Alert) not only will the maps get more barricaded but all of the radio chatter will be shorter and to the point. | |

Hannibal Lecture: Shetland gives one to Sam. He explains it's all because America is sick and dying, and a start-over is necessary. One done through international nuclear war to be exact. | |

Computer Equals Monitor: Averted. Fisher can turn off or even shoot out the monitors and still access its computer with his OPSAT. Moreover, remote hacks with the OPSAT require locating the actual computer tower rather than the monitor. | |

Attack Drone: The North Korean Army deploys a large number of flying drones armed with machine guns in the streets of Seoul once war breaks out. They can only be destroyed with a non-stealth loadout (only Sam's mounted shotgun or sniper attachments can take them out). | |

Brick Joke | |
| Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Video Game) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: In a late mission from Pandora Tomorrow, Sam talks to an undercover CIA agent who talks about a "Stanley Nakariakov", with both him and CIA liaison Brunton treating this character's existence like it's a matter of national security. Halfway through the second mission of this game, Sam finds forged transit ledgers for crates full of guns, claiming they're shipments of coconuts and sugarcane from Nakariakov, with Grim almost offhandedly mentioning that Nakariakov isn't even a real person - it's a codename Philippine drug dealers use to indicate arms shipments, keeping the authorities off their backs by sending them to chase for an imaginary Russian. | |
