Goldeneye Source 5.0.6

Goldeneye is one of the most beloved FPS games of all time. When it was released back in the 90s, people were blown away by the gameplay, flow, and level of detail. However, by modern standards, it is honestly pretty...terrible? It has smeared textures, doors that open way too slowly, an awful control scheme, and a radar system that feels more in the way than anything. How do you take a game that is simultaneously flawed and beloved and modernize it? Goldeneye: Source attempts to do its best, and does it surprisingly well.

Goldeneye: Source is a multiplayer only recreation of the original Goldeneye, which only had a 4 player cap. This remake ups the cap to 16, 24, and sometimes even 32 players. Coupled with its faithful recreation of the old maps, you can imagine what kind of hilarious chaotic pandemonium can ensue.

The remake also adds a ton of little nuances in the movement and aiming, and few can dispute that these are anything but positive changes. There is a tiny little change that the community has taken to calling "crouch dodging". This comes from a tiny little addition the developers made - you accelerate slightly when you crouch. This makes crouch sliding around a corner or picking the perfect time to crouch dodge and throw an opponent's aim off incredibly satisfying.

Another change they made is that you don't have a crosshair unless you hold right click and slow down. This gives each engagement a constant choice between accuracy and speed, and every hipfire kill feels incredibly lucky and satisfying, as well as making each firefight feel a whole lot mroe chaotic as people desperately try to hip fire their opponent to death. 

If you had good memories about the original, then you really should give Goldeneye: Source a download!
