Ubisoft PR man Alex Monney has broken the news that the Splinter Cell HD Trilogy will feature no multiplayer modes.
Those of you who were looking forward to another blast (or possibly your first play) with the incredible multiplayer features that were in SC: Chaos Theory are out of luck. They've been ripped out.

"Unfortunately ... the online part of the original games won't be included," Monney confirmed in response to PS Blog reader queries.
Even Chaos Theory's co-op campaign has been given the snip, with Monney later confirming: "Sorry no co-op will be included in the trilogy."
He also confirmed that Ubisoft used the PC versions of the games for the HD PS3 ports, because they "provided the best quality", which is good news because the Xbox original relied heavily on lighting effects and real-time shadows - something that we felt was dumbed down in the PS2 version.
