Re: What are you playing?
[quote="sleepyhead"]Not to detract from one of the many lovely discussions about penises, but I want to play the shit out of the new Goldeneye 007. Has anyone here played it?[/quote]
Look back one page. Game rocks.
Favorite 1st place message:
"Cloudy was an unstoppable thunderball."
I'm up to level 24 now, looking forward to 25+26 for sweet new weapons.
Things to definitely do:
How to win Heroes? Don't be the hero. There is no way to communicate this to your teammates because lol no mics, but occasionally you'll be on or against a group who mostly stalls from hitting that tantalizing - button. I can't tell you how many dumbasses I've faced so far who have GONE HERO WHILE BEING SHOT just to get wiped out and put ten points on our scoreboard. Ultimately, people are playing Heroes because it's awesome to hear all the funny comments from M, Trevelyan, Ourumov and Zukovsky, and to get access to better guns for EXP building. Play heroes and stay together to grab the high level guns from your fallen comrades, I've gotten all the EXP bonuses for Bond's Anovo DP3. Don't forget Zukovsky's magnum subweapon.
Cool moments:
- Going from zero to hero by jumping into a Golden Gun match in progress and getting six consecutive Golden Gun kills on my first possession, made up the other ten points with other guns.
- Shooting diagonally through a chain link fence and a doorway to kill a guy with his own deployed proximity mine, fucking laughed my balls off.

Gotta play until level 35 before classic conflict is unlocked. I've gotten used to the lower health, although it is a bit rougher than it should be before level 17. Once you get there, you get Bio Booster (more health) and things definitely get better for you. Melee doesn't kill in one hit, snipers can't kill with one hit either (barring headshots of course). I haven't noticed that much of an increase of health by adding Reactive Armor (lvl 22 unlock) to Bio Booster, although the game claims it to be so. I think with the prevalence of headshots and that little bit of Aim Down Sights "snap to", there are going to be moments where the enemy gets you in less than a second and tanking isn't going to make that much of a difference. I think with most gun setups you are probably best off using one health booster and one offensive gadget.
I'm currently dreading having to use an AK-47 (everything else is finished lol), I'd rather have a spoon.
And my brother picked up a classic controller pro. It's better, but only marginally. Certainly not a must buy situation, unless you absolutely cannot play with flat pads and need handles. My bro plays with it now instead of the wiimote, but I notice him frequently nudging down and aiming at the floor... He needs to practice finding the horizon.
I did a double take when I entered a match on my "Bob Saget" profile and faced an enemy... named "bob saget". LOL
