There seems to be some confusion about how some of the weapons work. I've compiled a list of the most common weapons in PC Multiplayer and listed how each of them work. I tried to use Weapon names that are familair to you all since I'm not able to get screen shots of the individual weapons as of yet.

The 'Attack' and 'Alt-Attack' Commands are as listed within the game settings.


NightFire MP Weapons

Walther PPK

Attack - Fires
Alt-Attack

Whoa thnx very much.:cool:


BTW I've heard on many previews that some characters have unique weapons, like Odd-Job with his bowler hat and Scaramanga's GG. Are there any others?

I'm not sure. I've seen the Odd Job character's hat stuck in a wall now and again. I'll play around with it and see.

I played the Odd Job Character last night. When you spawn, our dart gun is replaced by Odd Job's hat. Unfortunalely, you can't retreive the hat after you've thrown it. Also, refils of darts on the multiplayer maps are replaced by an up sidedown Hat. On some maps these refils are very scarce and hard to find. Other Maps (like the Office CTF map) are easy to find and close to spawn.

Don't know who Odd Job is? Rent Goldfinger.

I played Scaramanga (Man with the Golden Gun) and Jaws (The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker) last night and they both had dart guns. I didn't notice anyting else special for them.

I really, really love the dart gun. The hat is good too, but sort of stupid as you can't retrieve it. It'd be great if other players could pick them up too and throw them back. It's not as if Bond didn't do that.

Scaramanga doesn't have his Golden Gun does he?

How can the game makers screw up the hat? It's like the throwing knives in GE64...and that was 7 years ago! I'm really dissapointed at some of these 'issues' (especially in the PC version).

PS. How would traquiliser darts be equivalent to a razor-sharp hat? What're you supposed to do if you don't want to kill?
