Back in September we
brought you word of some enterprising gamers' attempts to
recreate Goldeneye as a mod for Half-Life 2. Development has been progressing on the efforts to
create Goldeneye:Source and there's good news—for people interested in testing and helping with the mod, alpha
release is just around the corner.
As a Christmas present to the gaming community, the alpha release will be available on the 25th December, and
(according to its website) will include:
-
8 weapons: PP7, KF7, AutoShotgun, ZMG, Golden Gun, Proximity/Remote/Timed mines, and both the throwing and hunting knives.
-
4 maps: Facility, Facility Backzone, Egyptian, Control.
-
3 character models: Bond, Oddjob, Ourumov.
-
3 gameplay modes: Deathmatch, License to Kill, Man with a Golden Gun.
We've also uncovered word of a Perfect Dark 2 source mod; despite this age of high-definition sequels, sometimes the classics have as much allure as ever.
[Update - there's also a Perfect Dark: Source mod; thanks, Tarek]
