Ahh, the good ol' peashooter. My high school friends and I poured approximately eleventy billion hours into Goldeneye, and there were few ruder insults among us than killing someone with the Peashooter.


I was once one of the victims in a Perfect Game of multiplayer Goldeneye: License/Pistols in the Facility. The best Goldeneye player among my nerdy friends won 20-0-0-0. He camped the spawns so perfectly that like 14 of his kills were insta-spawn-kills, and the rest he was sufficiently fast to kill us before any of us could even kill each other. I would never have believed it if I hadn't been there.

He was also a relentless armor camper, which was the worst thing about Goldeneye. Being able to turn off body armor in Perfect Dark was WONDERFUL because gently caress armor camping.

The second most hilarious way to play multiplayer Goldeneye is License/Throwing Knives, preferably in the Basement. That poo poo takes like a year off my lifespan every game, it's amazing.

The MOST hilarious way to play multiplayer Goldeneye we discovered many years ago: License/Slappers in the Bunker, combat is only allowed in the giant outdoor arena. 30, 45, 60 seconds of full speed circle-strafing each other while dodging in for a quick slap and dodging back out turns out to be incredibly conducive to trash talking. (the sloooooow windup and slap motion of Slappers is so goofy and so hard to time correctly.)
