Alright, I know this is a bit late, but GoldenEye: Source Beta 3 was released Sunday, February 8th. I've been playing it all week long and I have to say the game is a lot of fun.

Back story for those of you who live under a rock or are too young to remember. GoldenEye 007 was a fantastic shooter released for the Nintendo 64 in 1997. It was one of the first FPS games on a console to be a huge success, and it was followed by Perfect Dark by the same development team (RARE).

Some very, very intelligent person decided to port this amazing game to the Source Engine. The last update before this new release was Beta 1.1h way back in 2007. Beta 1.1h was an okay game, although it definitely lacked in many areas. Since then they ported the game to the Orange Box engine and made it an amazingly fun mod.

So let's get this mod popular and play the shit out of it before someone decides to bring copyright infringement lawsuits on the dev team! There aren't a lot of servers but there are quite a few players that you'll get to know quickly. I usually play on the Tastes Like Pants License To Kill server, so if you want to frag it up in an old-school and kickass game with updated graphics, then download the client (http://www.goldeneyesource.net/)and join!

No crosshair
That's the only problem
If it has single player I'd do that

I never noticed
The only issue I have is with the sprays
NONE of mine that work fine in CSS can be used in GES
=|
Kinda annoying
Still a good game
More models, more players
Can't wait for the final release ^.^

I played a round of Golden Guns, oh boy this game is fun. The graphics are pretty decent as well.

Indeed. I personally prefer License To Kill servers. The game is a blast though, can't wait for the final release. Wouldn't mind opening up our own server for it either =).

It's fun so far, but the PP7 lags my game to an extreme amount for some reason...

That's really weird, Modgers. I don't know why it would do that tbh. No one else who has played it has had this problem. You might want to pop on over to their official forums and make an inquiry about it or search for other posts that state the same problem.

To be honest I was disappointed, but I loved the original version.
Graphics are better than N64
No crosshair
No single player
I still like it
But I will always prefer the N64 ver

No crosshair

Press shift. You didn't get a crosshair in the original unless you aimed. GE:S is nearly an exact port to the source engine.

True but I don't like holding shift, its not like I'm using the N64 controller
God I wish I could XD
