It is time again to cast your votes on moddb.com!

We've had a spectacular year, our best since 2006, with several successful releases of our mod totaling over 40,000 unique downloads spread across our site mirrors and moddb.com. We ask that you help give us the best chance we can to once again win a MOTY award!

Show your support for Goldeneye: Source!

This time around in the MODDB 2009 MOTY, we will be in the "released" category. Our previous awards were top 5 placings for an editors choice for "best unreleased" in 2005, and players choice 3rd placing 2006 released.

Since then we've had a restart by going to Orangebox engine, and now find ourselves eligible for the "released" category. This has been one of our side goals for this year, and extra incentive for working hard to find fixes and a patch to the valve issues that plagued mod servers during February. Following the patch we have seen the game played successfully through several of the best community driven servers, utilizing stat services to give our players an even greater experience time and time again.

We thank them, and you the fans, for giving us the opportunity to see the mod enjoyed and the feedback received. To jump in game even 7 months after a release to find fans eager to hop in for a goldeneye romp, is surely gratifying.

And we say that knowing the avalanche of content on your GE:S horizon is even grander than what you have now!

2010 will see the finalization of GE:S Multiplayer, starting off with this huge and anticipated content release coming very soon. After that a planned commitment to release often as we bring in the last of the standard Mi6 and Janus characters as well as the remaining maps. To help for this next year of releases we are going to use the emerging platform, DESURA! This is one reason we are not rushing a premature beta 4 before the end of the year.

We will investigate our options and in the meantime we can do right by you through testing and polishing the many dozens of features and additions shown and listed in this and our october report!

Last report we promised to show more guns, more screens of maps, more rolling explosions and one of the newest characters to the Mi6 team. Here is the kind of delivery pizza hut could never touch!

== Lasers == Click for larger image

== Rocket Launcher == Click for larger image

== Explosive Action! == Click for larger image

== 006 Posing == Click for larger image

Next update will be cranking out some more 006 screens and info [whoamg? I know right!], more characters on the way in-game, and hopefully just into the new year we can roll out a trailer to showcase some of the things in moving splendor that you have seen us pimp over the last 2 months!

Happy holidays, merry Christmas and/or any holiday you observe, may it be a joyous and relaxing time for you. Next update will be January 1st of the new decade! See you then and remember to vote us into top 100, and then again at any time you can. Do us proud by visiting our profile daily and don't forget to tell your slack friends to vote for us as well! After all, we are #1.....

Sincerely,
Team GoldenEye: Source

I can just picture a bunch of kids new to the mod, finding the laser gun, and repeating "Im4 firin mah laz0r lolol!1"

JcFerggy · « **Reply #2 on:** December 24, 2009, 06:22:04 am »

What? Are you suggesting that beta testers and devs alike don't still do that? Well you might just be mistaken

-Edit- Piss, we are already off the main page.

This update just proves that a time machine is obsolete to beta 4, and we finally get a glimpse of Alec Trevelyan.

I'm glad the GE:S team is taking its time and perfecting things instead rushing a release. Looking forward to New Years update....

Is Beta 4 gonna have Bunker 1 and 2? My balls would tingle so hard if it did.

PPK · « **Reply #7 on:** December 24, 2009, 11:16:44 am »

For now. The site is still there and will return asap. I'm planning to have someone make the sections way better (functionally) than before.

Jeron [SharpSh00tah] · « **Reply #11 on:** December 25, 2009, 06:12:52 am »

Are you talking about moddb?

JcFerggy · « **Reply #12 on:** December 25, 2009, 06:18:23 am »

No, the main page for the site. It currently redirects to ModDB, which is now missing missing the wooden background, just like the forums.

Mark [lodle] · « **Reply #13 on:** December 25, 2009, 12:36:09 pm »

Yeah the image is being redirected as well. Fixing now

mbsurfer · « **Reply #14 on:** December 25, 2009, 06:56:46 pm »

Looks great as usual. This is definitely something to be patient for, the wait is well worth it.

Late to the party as ever, but wow. I can't wait for Beta 4. Also, I haven't been here for waaay too long. Life is so busy =(

Bissrok · « **Reply #25 on:** January 07, 2010, 02:29:55 pm »

Ah, the rocket launcher... Almost brings a tear to my eye to see it again. It's like being reunited with a best friend I haven't seen in a very long time.

I can't wait to accidentally fire that at someone two feet away from me again. It's been too long.

Ah yes... this mod is realy starting to come to life

Can't wait for the 4th beta... Checking this mod on a daily basis again, but damn... This mod is realy testing my nerves, man! I've been following this mod from the very fscking beginning and I just can't believe that it's already been so long ago that I was staring at the first models and was jumping out of my chair (almost) when it was actually playable!

In the mean time:
I've been heartbroken, parents divorsed, moved 3 times, been at 3 different schools, what the fsck?!

Anyway please make the beta 4 awesome and, although I hate it, wait for the release to be truelly epic and trouble free because if it's rushed I will be excited for 2 days and dissapointed for at least a year... Better make sure that I have to wait a little longer so everyone can enjoy it untill the next release!

Even after buying so many commercial games during the steam holiday sale (CSS, TF2, Killing Floor, DoD:S, and so on), I'm still finding myself putting in way more hours into GE:S than anything else. Based on these update reports, and the enthusiasm towards beta 4 I'm getting from all the devs and BTs I've talked to, I'm sure the wait for it is going to be well worth it. You guys have made a kick-ass mod, and the amazing thing is that it can only get better from now on.
