Hi there, I'm a big fan of the original game as well as of GE:S.
I check back every now and then to see whats going on and enjoy the game, just installed the game again today.

1. At the moment, there is just one server available, and its in Chicago. Does a european server exist (ping 150ms isnt too nice)??

2. How many active players are there? Last time I played (prob. 6 months ago) there were at least 25+ players online on EU or US "rush hours".

3. Is there any way to see the server's settings regarding gameplay options? Sometimes it feels like the Deutsche doesnt do any damage at all, sometimes 2 PP7 shots kill?!

4. What cmd and updaterate is preferable? I use 60/60 atm..

Thanks in advance for helping out a noob

Yea  and one other thing: That WNx server has setting that wont allow anyone without the golden gun to kill anybody else in under one minute... you can aim for their head and shoot 60 bullets in it and they dont die.. SUCKS.. sorry bout that but I'm raging -.-

1. There are plenty of servers (15-20 I think), make sure you don't have "show map list" checked. Otherwise it'll only show populated servers.

2. New people come every night, and there are a few regulars. However the immense popularity which immediately followed the Beta 3.0 release is gone thanks to the TF2 update Valve made which broke all the servers.

3. The D5K does a decent amount of damage. The key to Goldeneye 64/GES is to get headshots. They do 2x the damage as a chest hit and 4x a limb hit (I think). Headshots are the way to succed in this game. Those people getting 2-hit kill PP7 runs are either getting 2 headshots (100% damage) or it's License to Spam mode.

4. Whatever the default is should work fine.

Regarding your second post: the WNx servers are fine (not perfect, but very good). Get a decent gun (not the Klobb) and get some headshots.

1. WNx also has a EU server, random gamemode, and I know there are plenty of other servers in the EU region. The Chicago server is most popular though, it's where all the action happens usually.

2. WN has over 30 active players, so there'll always be someone to frag with. Looking at the www.ges-stats.com site shows that there's plenty of people who play alot.

3. Try using shift, aim for the head and you'd be surprised at the difference. Armor doubles health remember.

Everyone rages at first, just give it time and learn. It's trickier than most games at first but when you get the hang of it it's great fun.
