Not even about the single player for me at all. I probably put a thousand hours into the multiplayer. It just kept giving you more the more you were willing to put into it. It was insanely deep and the mind games were unreal. Even better that it was still the days before SBMM, so you could really see the skill gap. You’d demolish newer people and then get absolutely dumpstered two games later, learn things you didn’t know were possible.
And I can’t stress enough that there was voice, so not only did a spy grabbing you make a bong that scared you enough to poop your pants if you were laser focused. They could say stuff to you, or worse whisper it to you and then break your neck.

And for anyone looking, Enhanced SCCT Versus is the fully self-contained and working Chaos Theory multiplayer. Download it, run it, and enjoy - no other game files needed and it has its own custom master server to replace the shutdown one from Ubisoft.
However, the time I tried it it was still a bit of a nightmare between finding no games or, if I found some, being so hopelessly outmatched by the veterans playing that it was a real throwback to my youth in chaos theory multiplayer :-)
Perhaps it could be a neat candidate for a little patientgamer comm multiplayer event!

Had no idea this existed. Saving your comment for the future, and that idea sounds kind of fun. If I could get over the anxiety of playing with strangers, at least.
