Forums - PC Discussion - Goldeneye 007... on the Source Engine (Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead)!!

Yeah, so I just discovered this yesterday thanks to my friend who I had over. He's a bit bigger a geek than myself (heck, he used to be a member of 4chan), so he tends to know some of the crazy stuff that I miss on sometimes.

 

Anyhow, yeah. It's called Goldeneye: Source, and it's a free download. You just have to legitimately own a Source-engine title (Half Life: Source, Counterstrike: Source, Half-Life 2, Portal, Left 4 Dead, whatever). As long as you have a Source-engine game legitimately installed on your PC, you're good to go.

It's essentially just the multiplayer mode of Goldeneye, now playable online, and in a much, much upgraded form factor. They're still in beta phase, and not all maps are available (nor all the characters), but it's wonderfully fun for those craving some nostalgia in upgraded form.

You can find everything you want about it here, at the Goldeneye Source Wiki (http://dev.goldeneyesource.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page).

I'm playing now, and loving it. ^_^

Neat! Too bad I don't play PC much...



I've played it before...it's not bad at all for a mod.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

I was really unimpressed with the first and second releases of this. The problem is that although the mapping and modelling is superb (and I genuinely mean that), the game feels 'NOTHING' like Goldeneye did and for me that's a huge let down.

As far as gameplay mechanics go, it feels just like HL2DM in a bond skin.



 

 
 

I didn't expect it to feel like Goldeneye so much...I was just more impressed about the maps really.

Considering the fact that you're upgrading it to a superior engine, it's not supposed to feel exactly like Goldeneye. Halo 2 doesn't "feel" like Halo 1, because it's upgraded. Same issue here.
