@amp316  actually the multi is alot like COD. its like COD lite, hell it is COD without the killstreaks, 

I will agree that the multiplayer from GoldenEye is a lot like COD (leveling up and getting better weapons and gadgets for doing so), but it's not COD Lite. To be honest, GoldenEye relies much more on skill.  COD's multiplayer impresses until you play it a little bit and analyze it's flaws.  The guns in ALL of the COD games are unbalanced and you can get the best perks by playing the game for a few days.  GoldenEye takes much longer to level up and sure, some guns are better than others, but it's not like COD where you dominate someone that has gotten the game three days later than you just because you have the gun that kills him with half as many bullets.

Contrary to what many say, much of COD's gameplay was borrowed from the original GoldenEye.  GoldenEye was the first multiplayer console shooter and you could aim down the sight of the gun long before COD, even though COD seems to get credit for this for some odd reason.

Oh, and the single player experience in the COD games is an afterthought.  You can try to deny this, but it's true.  Also, the challenge level isn't that great either.  There's a video on youtube that shows a guy passing the first level of Black Ops without firing a bullet.  Try this on GoldenEye.  GoldenEye's difficulty on single player is much more difficult, escpecially on 007 Classic mode, you know the mode where you can't hide and regenerate health.  Also, it has some insane time trials which aren't for the faint of heart.

It's not that I hate COD or anything.  I've played the game and enjoyed it for what it is, but it doesn't rely on skill as much as many other shooters.  The best way to describe COD would be by calling it the Madden of FPS.
