Splinter Cell DLC maps on Steam
As I have posted on the Steam forums (here) there is a way to get the DLC maps (Kolacell, Vselka Infiltration, Vselka Submarine) on your Steam copy of Splinter Cell.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell on PC
This may also apply to you if you have a copy of Splinter Cell and cannot get the DLC maps/update to install.

As a game based in medieval times, the game has taken a risk by choosing FPS as its format, conventionally swords and arrows has been limited to the RTS/strategy genre. In my opinion, the risk was well taken and the game is an unbelievably good one, I actually have to say based upon fun in this game during multiplayer that this is a really great game.
The game is 100% free for download via the steam platform but requires that you own a source game.
This is a very high quality game; the menus are well designed, the models are well designed, the maps are simply bad ass and everything fits in really well. In my opinion the sound quality in particular for a free mod is well done, the battle taunts are great. What makes the game fun is that it has taken a pre-gun/electricity time in history and made it fun, it doesnt bore you with historical crap or taking 20 minutes to position your soldiers, it is just fun.

I remember Steam’s first steps, there were so many puns involving steam engines, steam rollers, and all manner of other steam technology and everyone saying how it was going to fail, and how it wasn’t working. I think it was such a difficult step in 2003 to launch such a service, it was a drastic move that would have been devastate to Valve if it had failed, but instead they took the step and steam is the biggest most bad ass success in gaming today. I buy practically all of my games on Steam.
While we’re all pointing very angry fingers towards the MPAA and RIAA and their relevant industries for trying to spread draconian DRM, steam has managed to slip somewhat similar DRM right under our eyes, but to be perfectly honest with you I do not at all feel threatened–I line up with everyone else and order anything that remotely interests me. To say I’ve spent a bit of money on games using steam would probably be a bit of an understatement. I’ve also enjoyed exploring older games like the early Doom incarnations and wolfenstein too; although I have played all of these I have never owned them myself and never gone through the entire games.
