Goldeneye 007 Controls & Techniques
If you
want to have much success on the more difficult settings in
Goldeneye, you better master the controls and techniques of Bond
to take full advantage of the game's playablility. While
Bond can go out with guns blazing, the most important skills in
Goldeneye come from aim, bullet-dodging, and stealth. Take a look
at these maneuvers and succeed!
Look around: Try stopping once in a while to check out your environment; not only can you observe some of the coolest graphics in gaming, but you may find that armor you've been needing!
Reload: Manually reload your gun whenever you can, so you avoid getting stuck out of ammo in the middle of a shoot-out. Enemies will leave 20 rounds (Agent), 15 (Secret Agent), or 10 (00 Agent).
Sidestep: If you don't know how to strafe, or just don't want to,
Bond's going home in a body bag. No more should you be
afraid of confronting enemies in open rooms--zig zag while
firing.
Aim: This can be rather difficult to master for a while, but
trust me, the 00 Agent setting can be almost impossible without
it. For more control, set the aiming so you don't have to hold
down R.
Kneel: This maneuver can seem rather awkward at first, and it
continues to be awkward later on. Beating the game doesn't
require this technique, so don't waste your time on it.
Run 'n Gun: Doing a kamikaze run at enemies can have its
advantages if you've mastered the controls. You'll notice right
away that when enemies get hit, they are briefly stunned (if your
aim isn't perfect) and you've got time to aim again--this time at
the head!
Item
Check: If you're stuck in a mission, try checking your inventory.
Q doesn't give you any unnecessary gadgets, so if you've got
mines or plastic (Silo) or a bomb defuser (Frigate), etc., you'll
probably have to use them somehow to complete the level.
