I haven't even looked at the multiplayer or Live features yet. Still working through the single player game co-op. Dunno, always something I've done with every Rare Bond game.

wow, this is so sad. So they're bringing the AI at least up to the standard that it was at on the N64 version's.

About time... Of course by now, I'm wrapped up in Oblivion. I hope that this 'Plaza' map will be free to owners of the game also.

I think this should go the Halo 2 route. Get the maps now, if you want them, for a price. Or wait till next quarter and they are free. I think that model works for everyone. No since milking a (cash) cow long after it's dead.

Interesting, considering Rare has only ever made 1 Bond game (Goldeneye on N64)

Now if we can just get "Pop a cap" added as a multiplayer game type. Ah the many hours I spend in college playing Pop a cap in the original Perfect Dark.

The personalities for the Sims are a good start though.

Wait, aren't the Dark Ops bots just bots that you can use in Dark Ops games? Because right now, you can only play Dark Ops mode against humans. I thought it was going to make it so that you could fill out your Dark Ops games with bots. You know, so that if you want to play with four friends, you can add 11 bots for a more fully populated game. Are Dark Ops bots something else?

@6

WTF? Your hurting my brain. Dark ops Bots are just regular bots for the dark-ops mode. Just like we had deathmatch bots, we will now have dark-ops bots. This means you CAN play dark-ops with 4 friends and then add 11 bots.

Furthermore, they are also adding "AI" to the bots, similar to the original perfect dark. Now you will have bots that hunt down the match leader, etc etc

Color me unimpressed. Let me know when they come out with a way to take the obnoxious used car salesman voice over guy out and I *might* consider playing this one again.

#7, that's what I was asking. The comment in the post that the Dark Ops bot would be the "baddest of them all" made me wonder whether it was a bot for Dark Ops mode or just a really effective bot.

Well, its nice to know Rare and MS haven't given up on it yet. I never quite understood how people got into this game though. My buddies and I tried playing for like 3 hours, and just couldn't find the fun factor.

Oh well, to each his own.

How about 4:3 HD support for those CRT users that have a VGA cable? The 360 is fully able to do it, but PDZ letterboxes it. If you hit the "ring of light," the dashboard magically slides in full-screen, but PDZ stays letterboxed. Grr.

I agree #13, it is annoying.

But Rare and Microsoft should realize it is going to take a lot more than that to breathe life into a game that was asthmatic when it launched.

Should've delayed it Rare!

I think he means to say that ( O.o ) the original PD was a sequence from goldeneye... and, in fact, it is.

Well... I have 400 M$ points left. 150 will go to the Orrery Quest that I have to check out, which leaves 250 points left for something else (unless I'm allowed to buy some more points).

I am interested is seeing how much they charge us for the content that should have been included. Anyone else remember Rare telling us they had to make last minute cuts?

This is a really bad sign... rush a game to market and charge extra for the finished version.

Remember when downloadable content was free for XBox Live subscribers? Looks likes it's gone forever. MS, Sony, and Nintendo are going to nickel and dime us left and right because microtransactions is their new business model for the next generation. If you choose to buy these microtransactions your are only encouraging them keep charging us for content that should be free.
