That's true. I had forgotten about goldeneye, completely.
I guess because goldeneye was just a blip on the radar to me. Nobody I knew really spent a lot of time in it, except for this one friend of mine, and he made it not fun to play because he spent so much time in it he knew every map inside and out and knew the system just entirely too well and kicked all of our asses.
In that respect though, Halo2 is revolutionary, because with Live it's SO EASY to get into a 16 player match, just about any time, with just about any rules you want, and have it fully populated by people of similar skill levels as your own.
