Hello loyal fans and new recruits! It has been about 7 months since we released Beta 4.0 to the public and we want to thank you for giving us a try and sticking with our mod. As always, we are dedicated to providing you the quintessential GoldenEye experience and are ready to roll out our next update!

We are bringing GoldenEye: Source out of Beta status with this forthcoming update. We are continuing with the previous versioning system and are officially calling this GoldenEye: Source v4.1. Over the next three media releases, until we unleash the downloadable package, we will be detailing the massive list of changes we have in store with this update. To whet your appetite, we’ll start out with our brand new custom official map, Casino!

Casino is the latest production from our immensely talented level designer Luchador. Although it did not appear in the original GoldenEye 64, we are sure this map will please. It offers a full rendition of the Casino Royale in Montenegro. Many aspects were inspired by the events that took place in the movie Casino Royale and others are based directly on the real casino.

Loyal fans may remember this map from the Beta 1 days. Luchador has since become a full-fledged developer and has done a bang up job of mastering his map for the official out-of-beta build. Currently, Luchador is moving to exciting work on Surface for a future content update, among other feats we will detail in the coming weeks.

Our community has been hard at work while we have been perfecting our 4.1 phase. The Cy, a 3rd party mapper has been working on a diligent recreation of Scaramanga’s house which will showcase all the famous rooms and features from The Man With The Golden Gun.

I played Casino once a very long time ago, Back when I was really younger. I didn't really support the mod by then, Nor did play it much either.
Its great to see this map is going to be back on the maplist.
I wish to thank all the staff for their time dedicated to this mod, And the whole community, Making this place a better one everyday.
This mod has a very bright future, And I hope will live on for a very, very long time.

I salute all of you with respect.

It's live on moddb too. Give it a look there and comment would be appreciated :) The more you guys get behind us in as many different and important outlets, the more that the modding community at large will be eager to jump into the new build's anticipation before it comes out.

GE:S BETA 4.1

Damn straight.

Great media update! Time to get excited again.  :D

Though I have to say, Casino Royale is in Montenegro, not Monte Carlo. :P

Adding Scaramanga's house was not expected but so sweet.  I can't wait to play Man with the Golden Gun in that room with the mannequins and mirrors.

Casino looks so wonderful. Great pics there.

But will it be as laggy as ge_caverns (for me)? So many details make me think so... Need to update hardware to be able to properly play in that masterpiece. ;)

I can play it on my laptop @ 60 FPS. And it has a 1.7ghz C2D, Nvidia 210m GPU. So its pretty light.

Luchador's optomization is stellar from what I can tell.
