Coffee Beans:
I have been playing more GoldenEye 007 online multi-player in the last 2 days, trying to get some gaming in before school starts back and finals.
Before yesterday and today, I had basically been playing the Team Conflict multi-player mode, in GoldenEye 007's online. Well, last night I tried the Heroes mode, and tonight I tried Black Box mode. They are both very interesting additions to the typical Team Conflict mode, and I'll be providing more coverage of both in a future post.
This post though, is about the Black Box mode, and if there is a glitch in it. Basically the idea of Black Box mode, is one team is designated to destroy the "black box", that is actually orange(don't ask me why); while the other team's objective is to download intelligence from the "black box", by having a person on the team carry/hold it.
Now, I was able to get a good idea for how long it takes to download the intel, and win the match; if that's your objective. The issue I have, is shown in the following video:
What's the issue? Well, the slowest time shown in the video to destroy the black box, 34 seconds; it takes more than DOUBLE that time, to download the data from the "black box".
Questions:
So, is GoldenEye 007's Black Box mode not balanced properly? Was the player, Kplmondo, just really well equiped at level 33, and I have to get there first to destroy it that fast(again, a balance issue)? Or, is this a glitch that he knows and is somehow exploiting, that perhaps Eurocom can fix? If you have experienced this, leave a comment and let me know what you think the issue may be. If you have played Black Box and never seen this, leave a comment letting us know also.
If anybody is interested in GoldenEye 007 for the Wii, you can see prices for both versions on Amazon.com linked below:
