TimeSplitters 2

TimeSplitters: Future Perfect

Story

The premise of the TimeSplitters series is the struggle of the human race to survive an onslaught of the TimeSplitters, a mysterious race that attacks humanity at various points in history. The entire span of the war is known as the TimeSplitter War. The hero of the series is Sergeant Cortez, a Space Marine sent back in time to retrieve the Time Crystals, the source of the TimeSpitters' power, along with his sidekick Corporal Hart.

In TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, Cortez returns to Earth with the Time Crystals he retrieved in TimeSplitters 2. The General sends Cortez on another mission back in time to destroy the Time Crystals and stop the TimeSplitters from ever existing. With the help of Anya, Cortez discovers the mastermind behind the TimeSplitters, Jacob Crow, and his mission to rule the world. With help from numerous partners, Cortez must chase Crow's various incarnations throughout time to stop his devious plan once and for all.

Story mode is the mission-based mode that allows players to unfold the story behind the TimeSplitters.

Arcade League

Arcade League is the objective-based challenge mode that unlocks a majority of TimeSplitters 2's and TimeSplitters: Future Perfect's characters and other extras. TimeSplitters does not have an Arcade League mode.

Some examples of Arcade League challenges in TimeSplitters 2 include:

• Adios Amigos - A simple Deathmatch. Kill the most opponents to win.

• Men in Grey - Men in Grey is an Assault match in the Training Ground map. To win, you must make your way past autoguns and enemies and destroy the enemies' computers.

• Dead Fraction - Dead Fraction is a parody of the Red Faction series.

And in Future Perfect:

• Rockets 101 - Another simple Deathmatch, using only Rocket Launchers to kill.

• I Like Dead People - A Shrink match in the Hotel against a horde of zombies.

• Old Blaggers - A Capture the Bag game in the Bunker.

Challenge

The Challenges are similar to Arcade League challenges, but their objectives are often zanier and more humorous than those in Arcade League. All three games feature a Challenge mode.

Some examples of Challenges include:

• Cortez Can't Jump! - This Challenge has Cortez standing on the elevator at the start of Something to Crow About. You must use the Temporal Uplink to draw the crates close and throw them away through the rings.

• TSUG: TimeSplitters Underground - Another unique challenge. Here you'll get command of 2 auto-guns found in the Subway stage. The left half of the controller is used to make the left gun move and shoot, the right half is used for the right gun. Your objective is to kill as many Berserker Splitters as possible without letting both auto-guns become destroyed.

• Plainly Off His Rocker - Here you will get command of an auto-gun in the Scotland The Brave level. You'll use it to shoot down incoming airplanes, as well as fight an unknown visitor...
