GoldenEye Source gets a big update after 3 years! (v5.0)

haha, my little brother is awful at this game. His first question was "where's the crosshair" and from there he managed to get 3 kills in 45 minutes of playing. And in this was one round of Rocket Launchers, where it's hard not to rack up a huge score. He's a Counter Strike/CoD player, so Goldeneye is a bit different for him.

Kids these days.
 
I'm super bugged that every major social media and news outlet is reporting this as if it's a brand new game that was literally just released.

How fucking stupid are these people?

Probably never heard of the mod or werent at those outlets when we released 4.2, so it's new to them.
It's fine by us, we're happy for the influx of new players it's bringing and we're happy it's going over well.
 
I miss Frigate.

Used to Gameshark the map into multiplayer and mess around in it with my cousin and sister and have a lot of fun.
Man, I can't imagine Frigate in splitscreen. It was already one of the most demanding stages in single player (like what, 10 fps?) so seeing it in splitscreen should've been pretty funny.
 
Had tons of fun on this since this week-end, shame some mods suck ass (golden gun and living daylights mostly) and there already are some cheaters (lmao 5 cougar headshots in a row in the kill log)
 
If anybody can get Goldeneye Source running in borderless window I would glad to hear how it's done.

I've prepared everything for the 4p mod but that's an new issue I didn't have with CS GO or Source.
 
I can't speak for the integrity of this random exe found through googling, but I use this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oYQZFLBkAg

Yeah, I've thought about using that too but there are some issues with that solution.
Honestly I would much rather see a different way to do it without 3rd party software.
Other Source games (even older ones like CS Source) I've tried out were able to start with "-noborder" in borderless so I still have hope to get it work natively.

Maybe I can even do something this weekend if I have enough time for that.
 
so, how do I have just a free for all deathmatch? Everytime I select it I get team based deathmatch. thanks!

You could start a match, or find a server that doesn't have team DM. Otherwise, you're kind of at the mercy of a server host and their choice of gameplay type.
 
Yeah, to be honest, I'm not a fan of how matches seem to be broken up into rounds on most servers. If someone could set up a 15 minute, 16-24 player, single round server, I would be very grateful. It doesn't need to be DM only, although I wouldn't mind that. I enjoy most of the other modes and wouldn't mind having some of them in rotation.
 
This being released made to want to watch Goldeneye, since I hadn't seen it since I was like 6 years old. So I did last night.

Watching the movie made me appreciate how much care you guys put into crafting the maps. Stuff like Facility's updated tank room, the cafeteria, the details and textures on Archive and then entire Command map feel like they're right from the movie set. Basically took the general design from the Rare maps and added a bunch more detail taken from the movie.

I also never really noticed just how much Rare took from the movie. I hadn't realized the first half of the Facility level was basically 1:1 with the movie, I figured all the maps were more or less just made up, but the layout is basically identical to the movie for Facility and Archives, and a bit of Control. Rare also built entire levels out of 1 minute long shots, like Dam, which is just a minor scene in the movie, but a fairly large level in the game. To the point where I thought the Dam portion of the movie was longer than it actually was. I was expecting him to be dropped off next to a watch tower and have to ride in a truck or something, but nope, Rare made the whole thing up.

I also kind of like Rare's version of the story more than the movie. Rare had Bond doing a lot more moving around and a lot more investigation and actual spy work. He never even sets foot in the bunker in the movie!
 
I hate to bump threads after several months but did not want to create a new one and don't know where else to turn for info.

How did this turn out, GAF? Is the multiplayer community decent?

Will I get completely waxed if I jump in playing on a controller?
