Loyal fans and friends,

It has been more than 7 years since the Alpha 1 build was released to the public. We have had millions of downloads since then, and we’re humbled and honored each and every time a player tells us that we've delivered that nostalgic GoldenEye 64 feeling. Even as the original GE007 audience grows up and new gaming audiences emerge, GoldenEye: Source remains relevant to the gaming world. Since the main demographic for our game, those original GE007 players, are now in their mid 20’s and early 30’s - we have an older, but very unique market. Yet, we are still here. We are still working away, building a game worthy of the name ‘GoldenEye’, but why? For many, this was our first game, our first multiplayer experience. GE007 was the first time you could sit down for hours with your friends and yell at the TV and each other and couldn't wait to do it all over again the next day. GoldenEye Source was our attempt at bringing that experience the PC, for both newcomers and 00 veterans alike.  As long as we can continue to offer a sliver of that same feeling today, we’ll keep working hard to deliver on our original goal. Thanks for your years of dedication and support, and now onto the main subject!
   
GoldenEye: Source v.4.2.3 is a ‘maintenance’ patch, you could say. Community honed to deliver a great long term service version while we work alongside on our next large release (v4.3). Both have been in development this past year. With long term projects pushed to v4.3 and gameplay enhancing changes pathed to v4.2.3. We are here to announce the download and official change log for v4.2.3.

• Long term fan and contributor Troy's popular Arsenal and Tournament-Deathmatch gamemodes have been added officially.

• You can now change the difficulty of bots directly from the create server menu. Additionally added to the new menu is the ever requested 'Turbo Mode' option. No need for custom gamemodes to have the lightning fast gameplay in any of your favorite gamemodes, all now supported natively.

• Added sniper rifle zoom in/out with the mouse wheel

• Invulnerability system tweaked to offer a more balanced experience

• Spawning system vastly improved to prevent players from spawning in the middle of firefights.

here you find other great goldeneye stuff, like namajnaG's recreation of the Nightfire map "NF_Power_v3" or new gamemodes created by Troy and WNxEuphonic

[namajnaG]

Awesome work, As always! I'm always surprised to see how the team is dedicated to keep this game updated and fresh for everyone, Thanks for your unstopped work over the years and the continuation of your dedication over this mod, It's most likely the HL2 mod that has had the most attention and care on a long-term basis, And your efforts do not go unnoticed.
Thanks a lot!

And thanks Cy, Really appreciated! I might as well tune it in here that more Nightfire maps will be available and ready to play in the upcoming months, Since I will have lots of free time to work on those outside of real-life work. I will keep you updated on my thread.

Happy gaming!

Hi, the new update is great, I already played and I think you know it . I loved the sniper zoom and everything, but I found some bugs.
The first one is with the new models, if you use D5K (without silencer) and reload, the silencer will pop-up and stay there until you release "r". (thanks to Falko for noticing this). And the silenced one goes down every shot.


The other bug are the reticles, when you aim with a weapon that have zoom, like the AR33, the reticle will appear in a sec more or less. If you reload while zooming, the zoom will go back slowly. And if you aim, reload and release shift, the sight will be there until the animation ends.


I don't know if I'm explaining well, but hope this helps.

[killermonkey]

Cool bug with the silencer, haha

As for the reticule... it doesn't appear until you have server confirmation that you are in aim mode (fully zoomed, slow movement, precise shots). So lag will affect the time it takes for it to appear. It is a visual representation of when you are actually in aim mode.

[Graslu]

It seems like it's from the server, the D5K bug, I joined another one and it was fixed, but when came there again it had the bug, but maybe it's something wrong in the files, too.

[Falko]

The game is way more balanced than it used to, thanks to the increased range of the spawning system.
I might be a little rusty but I couldn't do as many kill streaks as usual
Well, the hitreg was completely off but still, it's great.
I'm sure the newest players will appreciate the game a little more now.

Really enjoyed Arsenal too, hope to see OBIE in the next update.
All in all, it's a little more than a maintenance patch -_'

[killermonkey]

I want to incorporate more game modes in the next release.

Currently merging in SDK 2013 into our baseline... going smoothly so far, but that means nothing until you hit "compile" hehe

[WNxUufje]

The D5K bug is actually a server bug, I'm hoping to have that fixed soon.

As for the patch, I like it. I played a gamenight just now and I'm already liking the invulnerability time.

[killermonkey]

@WNxUufje

Please check the auto team settings... there may be interference with one of your mods because when auto team kicks in it restarts the round like 3 times and switches teamplay on and off.

[Troy]

It's great to see the patch has finally been released!  I'll try it out when I get home.

[liamcadhain]

Good job team! Kudos to all involved in the making of this patch in any way. Glad to hear another major release is coming down the line too - certainly shows the tireless dedication and devotion given to this mod since its inception. Keep up the good work everyone!
