Seriously, Single player is for newbs.
Single player sex sucks.
Single Player Half-life 2 dm sucks.
Single Player CS:S sucks.
Single Player GE:S sucks.

The list goes on and on forever. It's all about multiplayer, and Perfect Dark had some really crappy weapon loadouts.

Sure, bots were alright, and the custom weapon loadouts was awesome, and the challenges were... actually they sucked.
but really, it wasn't that much of an improvement. More lows than highs.

My mistake I meant to say an actual release, because right now it's pretty similar to what GE:S Alpha was; a bunch of new weapons, models and some maps thrown in.

I'd say that the GE:S beta is farther along than the PD:S beta. What little of it I tried, it didn't seem very polished. My Windows install is pretty boarked right now, so it's hard to tell, but PD made Source crash more often. I don't know if anyone plays PD:S, cause I saw no one on when I fired it up. PD could get popular if the alpha was out before GE's, but I don't see that happening. The PD crew needs to just hammer out the guns and maps first (which are it's strong points), and leave finetuning the player models for later. All I gotta say on that is someone spent too much time making Joanna's fists...who give's a crap.

Plus (not that I'm even tempted in even the most minute amount) isn't there a Perfect Dark game out for the X360 that you can play online right now?

Another slice of hope is that Nintendo is starting to allow developers to release original content on the Virtual Console. Depending on if they can do it legally (contract with MS), I would love a slightly revamped version of Perfect Dark 1. They might be able to fix the framerate issue, and add online play. That would be cool.

It came out.  And it had issues.  Like the player view camera.  And invisible players.  And nerf shotgun.  And -2 fps.

I'm not touching PDZ with a 50-foot stick.

And about the VC, that actually isn't a bad idea.

I'm the only one that feels like PD definitely had a better framerate than GE (multiplayer)?

I have, I'd play with 6 sims most of the time, though I had the expansion pack thing which helped for both PD & GE, but I'd still say that PD with 4-6 sims + 4 players had equal or better FPS than GE with just 4 players.

I'm assuming everybody had the RAM expansion pak, did they not?

As if throwing RAM at it would cover the crapassnity of Perfect Dark.  That's like putting a fat man in a wheel chair and calling him Speedy.
