Overview
Control
GoldenEye: Source is a mod created for theSource engine that recreates themultiplayer of the original GoldenEye 007 (Game). The mod recreates, as well as re-imagines, the maps of the original game with updated textures, layouts, models, and music. While currently a multiplayer-only game the developers have hinted a possibility for a remake of the game's single player mode. The original Alpha of the game was released on December 25, 2005. The mod went out of beta phase on December 14, 2010 and now requires Half-Life 2: Deathmatch to play.
Gameplay
Results Screen
Currently, GoldenEye: Source is exclusively an online multiplayer game. Game modes and weapon sets are all chosen at random, with the weapons changing at the end of every round. The maps are all based on familiar locations from the original, some originally not multiplayer, with some being total creations of classic maps and more on the way. The weapons that can be used remain unchanged though they now include weapons that originally were exclusive to Goldeneye 007's single player. (Phantom, Golden PP7, Hunting Knife) Classic characters also appear, but currently the selection is not as diverse as in the original. The gameplay is similar to the original, but with a few changes. Players can jump, a feature not present in the previous game, and while they still must manually aim, they can move while doing so. Beta 4 also introduced achievements into the game, with some ranked "Agent" to "00 Agent".
