It's released!
I found it to be decent... Here's some crits
- Most servers have the player numbers too high!!! 6-8 is a lot more fun
- Too much rock paper scissors balance! It's so common for shotgun people to die by a pistol, and when you do kill someone with a shotgun you get no feeling that you did something hard and beat the odds because honestly it happens all the time
- I believe a few times I picked up weapons and it auto-switched to them even when they had no ammo?
- I understand the reasoning for not including a crosshair, but the reason the N64 didn't have a crosshair was because it had Auto-Aim!! You can't not include both... I say at least give us a dot for a crosshair or something... I highly go against auto-aim for obvious reasons
-No objective... There is no competitive feeling because there really is no objective.. It's sort of a "Keep going until the server decides to change"
It has potential, but I sorta got bored after the first 2 hours or so :-\

somthin i posted on there forums:
goldeneye was a great game for its "time" several years ago on the n64 im not saying it was a bad game back then. Its a bad game now with shooters out like halo , socom , call of duty 2 you cant just say this is a remake of the n64 game i know alot of people are gonna say why not cuase there fans of the old n64 game and they love the nastalgia of playin that classic game on a new engine but you need more than that to keep people occupied for more than an hour. try to add somthing new a gimmick dual wielding stuff like that cuz only the few hardcore fans will keep tis game alive. im not trying to be negative but trying to help this mod team out this mod will be lost in the shuffle of all the other mods out there like dystopia, garrys mod , plan of attack, and upcoming mods sch as insurgency, fortress forever , and forsaken. you need to look past the " lets keep it true to goldeneye franchise" and look forward to the " lets add dual wielding the ability to jump and add our own unique characters to the fold".
well thats my 2 cents. i still love the mod just it didnt keep me occupied for that long.

okay I just had a session, and I feel the need to report shits like this who manage to get around vac2 and spam the channel with music and racist crap,
dont know what good it will do other than maybe somone being able to recognise that particular name, annoying to see the kiddies are still at it even on alpha's.

Bleh, it's awesome, but it gets kinda stale.
I mean, it's the same mechanics over and over.
You either run into somebody with the same gun as you, and either die, or end up with 3 health...
Run into somebody with some gun superior to yours, and get pwnd...
Run into somebody who was just in a fight, and it's not even a battle...
Run into an already occuring fight, and completely kill everybody in it.
And head bob would have really added to the game

The annoying thing it doesnt let you do is all of a sudden use leet tactic's to pwn a guy with more health and better weapons than you.
Most obviously no real difference with the headshots to other hit area's, accuracey isnt really rewarded that way, hence constant pwnage. When your low on health you know your about to die, you have to accept it, there's nothing you can really do, which is why its funny for those who like more of a laugh D: and frustrating for those who take it a tad too seriously.

Seriously, I have PayPal.
Offering me money to talk to lawyers is a bad idea, you know.

Did you never play Quake?Pajari said:That just about describes FPS gameplay ten years ago
The reason the gameplay's like that is that there are no health crates. If there were health crates dropped at key locations throughout the map (the places that see the most action) there would be room for less repetitive gameplay as the survivors keep themselves alive. In Goldeneye you often saw people camping the armours with superior firepower which essentially meant they were guaranteed the top spot for as long as they stayed there. It may be more realistic without instant health regeneration care of a medkit that no player has the medical training to use, but it doesn't make for very good gameplay.
[Edit]OK Quake was May 1996, and Duke Nukem was January of the same year (just under 10 years ago). But Doom was 1991 and Doom II was 1994 and they had health crates. To sum up: health crates rule! (medic = mobile health crate!)

Its good for a little romp, the adding of ALL the weapons from Goldeneye will help it out greatly.
The main problem is though...everything is so bland, now I understand they are trying to get the spirit of Goldeneye into it, complete with nostalgia and all...But the gameplay was just...meh. What sinkoman said pretty much sums it up. After playing Hl2: Deathmatch (which to me is kickass in balance and strategy) this just feels too simple.
Oh...and the amount of spawn killing, holy **** there is so much spawn killing (facility)

I cant wait for the Grenade Launcher and Proximity Mines.........many a rapings have taken place with those weapons. Also want the AR10(?). Damn actually we need them all really. :sniper:
They should add the cascading blood that comes down when you die.

They released the update.
Funny that. I JUST picked up the alpha, started playing around, then hopped off to look if I was the only one who hated the autoshottie on their forums, and lo and behold they released the update 10 minutes ago.
Download, and be glad!
