The map maker was one of the most innovative things about TimeSplitters and it was a real fight to get Eidos particularly to realise the value of that" David Doak a b Phillips, Tom (April 12, 2021).

Levels for Story mode can be made as well as levels for Arcade mode. [12] Created Story levels, however, cannot be played co-operatively. Maps are created by selecting and placing different pre-made tiles and rooms onto a grid. Spawn points, weapons, bags, armour, and objectives can then be placed anywhere on the level. There is a bar in the left side of the screen, representing memory, that lowers each time a tile or item is placed. When the bar depletes completely, nothing else can be placed onto the map. However, items can be deleted to increase memory. A theme can be chosen for each map such as Victorian, Industrial, Alien, and Virtual, which changes how the rooms appear.

Arcade mode is the multiplayer aspect of the TimeSplitters series, but also provides the option to include AI-controlled bots with configurable difficulty levels, to act in place of human players. [11] The games are notable for their large selection of multiplayer modes (such as a total of 16 different competition modes in TimeSplitters 2), [68] spanning both traditional Deathmatch and Capture the Flag-type games, [10] [11] as well as other TimeSplitters-specific modes such as "Flame Tag", "Virus", "Shrink", and "Monkey Assistant." [69] The games also provide players with options to customise multiple details of each game mode, such as rules and available weapons, to create a more varied experience. [69] [70]
