If you haven’t noticed both of my videos for GoldenEye have been the Outpost map. I think it is one of my favorites. It has a lot of different areas to it where people can hide and snipe. Plus it also has some open areas and close quarters.

I really enjoy playing GoldenEye multiplayer on this map because the satellite receivers are well placed and battling for control of the third console gets pretty intense. Usually the team that can hold the third one wins the game.

My favorite parts of the video:
01:15 – 01:45: This is a pretty nice battle over the number three console. The enemy keeps coming around the corner of a building trying to get to the console and secure it. My teammate is sniping them from afar and I am trying to take them out with my assault rifle.
03:30 – 03:35: I spot an enemy sniper in a tower and take him out.
05:40 – 06:00: I sneak up and take the third console from the enemy.
07:25 – 07:35: I score a head shot from a pretty difficult angle.

GoldenEye matches are great for increasing your kills to death ratio if you are really concerned with that statistic. Since most players will be focusing on capturing the consoles, this gives you ample time to set-up a camping/sniping spot and pick off players. Although in this game I wasn’t trying to improve my kill to death ratio.

The game ends in a stalemate and this is pretty typical of the GoldenEye matches I’ve played. It seems like it is very difficult to hold onto three or even four satellite receivers at a time.

GoldenEye for the Wii was released on November 2nd 2010. I couldn’t pass picking up this game. I headed over to my local Best Buy and plopped down the game and my Best Buy credit card. I played the original on the N64 for many hours with my friends and brother.

I called my brother over and we played split screen multiplayer for a couple hours last night. At first I was disappointed, because you can’t customize the characters with special abilities. All you can do is choose a gun and which gun you pick comes with preset abilities.

In split screen there are three game modes. Conflict, which is just plain deathmatch. Golden Gun, or GG as we liked to call it, where there is one Golden Gun on the map, and the player that gets the gun kills you in one shot, and you only live twice where everyone gets two lives.

We played conflict for a couple of maps and the game-play is a lot of fun. The controls are spot on and you can use a lot of different controllers, which is nice; although I don’t recommend using a Gamecube controller because the default buttons are hard to use. You can’t pick up new guns around the map, but when a player dies they drop their gun. I missed not finding guns around the map.

Conflict became pretty boring with only two people after a couple of games. We decided to play Golden Gun and that was a blast. It was fun racing to the Gun when the game first started and then trying to kill the Gun holder without being one shotted. We were only playing with two people I can’t wait to try it out online or with four player split screen and see how intense the action gets.
