First impressions...
« on: February 05, 2010, 12:05:08 am »
I have been playing Goldeneye (N64) ever since it came out. I have every stock map pretty much memorized, to the point where if I had to, I could draw them out perfectly. I still play it to this day (I'm 20), and make my friends cry whenever I bring it out, because they know I'll win 34567898765-0.

I had heard about this mod quite some time ago. I had never really gotten into it because, admittedly, I lacked faith in it. I felt it would be buggy, laggy, and most likely die from a lack of interest.

Now that your beta 4 is around the corner (...here?), I decided (just 3 hours ago) to start playing your mod.

Ho. Ly. Shit. This. Does. Not. Disappoint.

I'm absolutely stunned at how well this game plays. It handles just as well as any FPS (which is probably why I do so poorly at it right now!), and is absolutely beautiful, even just on my laptop. Your maps...Especially Complex (My N64 favorite)...Are spot on. Weapons feel balanced, everything just feels right. I believe that I have found the gaming equivalent of crack cocaine (I played WoW for 2 years, and this feeling is nothing), and I really (really really really really really) hope you guys are able to round out this project. I love your new maps, I love the old maps, I love GE:S. Thank you for putting out such a mod.

Thank you for the wonderful comments. :D
It is always nice to hear how people feel and what it brings back to them.  I have played GE since it was released and I still use my original cartridge.

Please keep checking in over the next couple days..  but I warn you..  it might kill you from the over flow of adrenalin.

I think I can deal with that.

...Though, I'm slowly finding how strong that silver PP7 is in comparison to the N64 version. Feels like a 2-shot weapon.

It does the same damage as it did on Goldeneye 64, each shot from the Silver PP7 does the same damage as each shot from the Cougar Magnum.

That means 2 headshots to kill someone with full health and 4 headshots to kill someone with full health and full armor.

Yeah, I've been reading and seeing how well the damage really does scale. I must have been just getting popped a lot.

Why aren't there more people on? I don't get it...

There were hundreds of people on the night of the Beta 3 release and the following days.

However, shortly after release, Valve decided to release a TF2 update that completely broke all of the GES servers until a fix was found a few days later. By then though, it was too late, and everyone who had been playing left. Thanks, Valve.

How long ago was that...?

And I for one, am doing my part in spreading the gospel of this game. So far, I've contacted 6 friends personally who will love this game. Gonna try and get it out more...

They all will be back for Beta4.. and if Valve screws up this time, I will personally drive up there and slap the taste of donuts out of Gabe's mouth.

The server issue was about a year ago.

So that's why I don't have giant killstreaks sometimes... Thought it was due to my horrible ping/lag/latency

Silver PP7 is base-damage of 100, same as GE007.  Two to the head kills full HP/AP.  One to the head kills a freshly spawned player.
Gold PP7 has been changed to a base of 200, since its original design was to make Single Player into a one-sided License to Kill, which is unsuitable in any multiplayer scenario except LTK, of course.

I've already conceded to the fact that I was probably getting shot in the face.  :-[

This game has definitely gone over the 48-hour "game hump" (If you aren't enjoying the game 48 hours after you get it, you probably won't play it much at all, if at all). I love the pants off this stuff.

I remember an old Dutch counter-strike server that said upon login "Always do your homework first before playing CS".

Haven't had that problem since, well, CS 1.5 :P
