In this episode, it says there are at least two 007 moves. I know for a fact that in any episode, a player usually can do more than what the Target Score dictates. Like in episode 1, a player can do three 007 moves when the Target Score is only two:

1. Hiding in the truck to infiltrate the Castle
2. Using the Omega Lazer to cut the searchlight power
3. Zip lining from the Castle roof to the cable car station

However, for the NightShift episode, I could only do one 007 move (entering the Secure Terminal Room to get the data).

I've already played it numerous times, and it seems I can do so little, does anyone know other 007 moves for this level?

Well actually, I think the episode called "The Exchange" in the GameCube version also appears in the PC version as "The Rendevous" episode.

I don't know if both missions are the same. But, in case they are, here's how to do moves 2 and 3:

For move 2, you look for the fountain, it's near the start of the second section of the mission after you have entered the grounds via the truck (if you used the truck). there's a small set of stairs leading up to a radio room with a single window. Once you have eliminated the guards, you will find what looks like a fusebox to the right of the window. Open it and cut the green wire with your Q Laser.

For move 3, after the cinema where you discover Dominique has become their prisoner, instead of attacking the guards in the room, head to the left and jump out of the window. There is a 007 bonus item hidden here. It's a short corridor that slopes down on a roof, near this slope, ro the right of you will be a cable. Get near it, and jump at it to do the zipline. This will be easier if you first eliminate the two guards who will be waiting for you at the other end.

Anyone who plays the console version please leave some advice on what other moves to do in the "NightShift" episode with the Drake Building full of non-hostile guards.

thanks for the tips...but they don't seem to apply with the pc version.
after reading that I might try the gamecube version...it sounds far more exciting than the pc version!!

Nah. The PC and Console versions are completley different. The only things they have in common is that its Bond and some weapons/gadgets.

The missions are totally different. Though this site (commanderbond.net) seems to have alot of the sp mission names mixed up... :eek:

I think that explains why no one can help me.

Guess I'll have to experiment on it myself. Yes, now, come to think of it, the GameCube version is probably the most polished version of "NightFire"...

There are some unique Bondian moments...Like there's this one time where Bond drives the Aston Martin Vanquish, and then jumps over a Police car-blockade by jumping over the bridge (like Gone in 60 Seconds), except he lands beside it and takes an off road excursion.

Then there's an imitation of the DAD car battle scene, except that Bond has to deal with 4 helicopters and armoured snow mobiles while skating the Vanquish on an ice lake....

There's supposed to be an Acrostar level, but I haven't gotten to it yet...

Then there's also the one where 007 saves a Japanese girl in a bath by emerging from under a water tunnel for filling the bath tubs....

That last one (bathtub) sounds like in the PC version of the japan mission. There's a hostage in a bath house, you can use the underwater level to get the upper hand on the bad guys. It also leads to a chest with a machine gun and credit for a secret :)

OK, In Night Shift the second bond move is, let me tell u.

Ok, when you go to Bug Mayhew's computer before you leave to the stairwell on to the roof, there is Scropian Rocket Launcher on the Desk beside it, now when your on the roof after killing all the guys there will be a helicopter flying in the air (starting to leave) if you destroy it with the Scorpian, there ya go, 2nd Bond Move!
I hope this helps

Damn. I gotta get me a console for that game :) Sounds sweet.


(though I doubt I'll actually buy a console for 1 game... thats like 300$ + 75$ for the game...)

Its more expensive here in canada, Its like "USA Price" divided by 2 = "X" then its "USA Price" + "X" = Appx Canadian Price...

So if its 150$ US.. 150 / 2 = 75, 150 + 75 = 225$ canadian

Incase you wanted to know :) :)

I didn't mention that the Scropian Rocket Launcher is a heat seeker missile launcher...
There's also a regular Rocket launcher that u can guide the missiles(MISSILE VIEW, NOT WHERE UR STANDIN'!)
And then there's the grenade launcher...
Then (only avialable in "Phoenix Fire"(mission 8))the Sachtel Charge
Bomb
Go to a mininum of 5 sec. to max of 30,you guessed it's a mini bomb, can do tons of damage thogh

Too bad I don't know how to get console screenshots to my computer.

Thanks SWZSSR4000, I think one day I'll try shooting down the helicopter! Is this also another 007 move in "Phoenix Fire" (there's also a helicopter and another set of heat-seeking Scorpions.

I see the chopper sometimes on "Night Shift", but it takes me a bit of time to kill all of those damn bastards so it gets away most of the time. (I'm very patient, you see...)

My real specialty is finding 007 bonuses...If you have any problems with that for any mission before "Phoenix Fire" (Like I said, I'm patient, never in a hurry to finish this thing...), just ask me.

Again, thanks man.

Well that won't be the only game you'll get for NGC that's for sure. We're still playing with Super Mario Sunshine (that game will get you playing forever...even after you've finished it....Because there are up to 120 shines!)

Metroid Prime is also out already! Fantastic! Best of all is that the best NGC games are one-of-a-kind....usually not ported elsewhere.

Oh and Eternal Darkness is very good too....

I had bad a very bad experience with my previous console (n64)

I played for about a week (4 games) and then it went on the fritz. This was when the gc was out for about 4-5 months, and nintendo discontinued warranty support for it...

I don't want to get a console and it going on the fritz just after my 'return policy' time period expires... :)

I'm also looking to getting a game shark.. it looks and sounds interesting...


But I'm saving money for a sb sound card. So I can finally have a direct x compliant card!! I keep getting choopy sound in the latest games, and the drivers for my current card haven't been updated for over a year ... (turtle beach's "santa cruz"). But I got a dell and the card didnt work right with it (kept giving a major static burst everytime I turned my comp on). So I gotta get new speakers cause dell doesnt allow single hardware purchases (i.e only a sound card..).

:) :):rolleyes:
I'm one of those guys who has the life no one wants :) :)

Hey, don't feel so bad.

A friend of mine got off even worse. He bought a Dreamcast the very same week SEGA announced it was dropping the price and discontinuing it!

N64 was a great console throughout the late 90's if you gave it a chance back then. Nintendo doesn't always get the most games...but from my experience, if you get on early, you're in for a good ride.

Between 96 and 2000 I ended up playing tons of N64 games (though quite a number of them I did regret getting)....but it was a hell of a lot of fun. I actually felt bad selling it away to get enough money for a Dreamcast (Yeah...I bought one of those too...)

I can tell you this much, If I ever do buy a console, it will be from nintendo.

I never got into the ps2 or xbx.. But I can remember playing the original SMB (super mario brothers 1, 2, 3, ....), Zelda, Metroid Prime (SNES), Star Fox (SNES). Gosh. I just love those games. I even have those games on an snes emulator (yes its legal, face it. when was the last time you saw the snes on sale in any store??? :) ).

They're good games. :)

The Metroid Prime for the GC looks awesome, Mario Sunshine looks alot like Mario 64 .. Zelda (the wind maker?) Looks alot like a cartoon (compared to the n64 versions)... Might try that one... out of curiosity.

I'd most likely rent one or wait till my sister's boyfriend rents it and brings it over. (he did same when he rented xbox.. he got it for xmas..).

Tried Xbox too... Not that amazing imho. Halo looked nice (comming to pc mid 2003, I hear..). Unreal Championship is the same as UT2003 except the weapon models are different.. well.. that and its on console :)

Sorry I cottoned on to this thread so late Thunderball8! I couldn't figure out the other 007 move either though, so don't feel bad.

About the other consoles-as well as my PS2 I have a Nintendo 64 which I can't bear to part with because of GoldenEye and Perfect Dark! When ever I have friends over and we get bored I always whip it out-the mulitplayer is the best! Especially slappers...when your friends are drunk...

Yes it is :) Most of the time ppl get annoyed with specifics .. :)

I can remember one time, it was 23.3degrees celcius with a humidex of 37.891567% . The wind was cold and yet hot. The Driver across the street drove at 58.9423 km per hour...

Yup...I would consider GoldenEye the game as my re-introduction to 007 (before that...the last Bond thing I ever had was The Living Daylights on Betamax). Young as I was, the beauty of it escaped me. It was N64's GoldenEye that gripped me by storm.

It's amazing how close it was to the movie even if it didn't employ an engine as complex as EA used for NightFire.

Like I said, I was sad to part with it.

Is it just me, or was Brosnan's likeness in N64 GoldenEye just a bit better than the one in Nightfire?

Because I remember watching the intro in N64's GE and the cinematic to Stage 2 thinking "Hey, it's Pierce Brosnan!"...but sometimes I find myself thinking twice when I see the EA version at certain angles.

I thought Bond was well done in Nightfire (as in, looked like brosnan).

I also had the so called "Hey! It's Brosnan!" experience. I actually compared a pic of brosnan (from DAD and the official website's bond character info picture). I was :eek: .

The voice doesn't really sound like brosnan from the movies, but the credits say it is him.. :)

I always wanted powers :) I feel so super-hero like :)

Actually, I heard Brosnan's contract (as stated in the NightFire Manual) is only "his likeness". His voice was not part of the agreement.

Funny, cause he sounds a bit like Dalton in there....

In particular, I thought he was very much like Brosnan in the 2nd cinematic at the Japan mission, where Mayhew keeps telling him to "do this, do that"...and Pierce looks a bit exasperrated...I thought: "Yeah, that's what he'd probably act like if this was a movie."

Then why would they credit bond's voice as brosnan? :) ....

Well.. All I can think of is for the new generation of bond fans, who their 'true' / 'original' bond is Brosnan.. Like me..

I didn't follow bond until Golden Eye (so my first, or 'original' bond is Brosnan.. I followed his bond movies since (GE, TND, TWINE, DAD, whatever the 5th one he signed on for is gonna be called...)

Yeah....just saw a couple of Bond films again from Sean, Roger, and Pierce. There's a different appeal to each one.

I guess at my current level of maturity, I'm no longer amused by Roger Moore as much.

But I'm a bit relieved that I actually found Brosnan great when I viewed GoldenEye again. It means that EON are probably in the right direction.

It's just too bad he only got the role when he was already 40. From his portrayal in GoldenEye, he could have credibly done The Living Daylights and Licence To Kill.

You're never too old. Look at Q (before D.A.D). He was there from the very begining (featurette in GE DVD. Showed history of bond and stuff).

Shame what happend :) Found it odd that he quit then a few months later he died... :-/

Same with the Dumbledore (I'm not a big potter fan but I did watch the 2 movies..). He's dead (cancer) but thats understandable. he left cause of treatment and stuff.. Aparently, the wizzard from LOTR will take his place.. (Gandolf?).

Q (original) was awesome. He had fun with his job. John Gleece acts more serious. :/

I've always thought Bond in GoldenEye looked more like Brosnan than some of the later ones, especially Agent under fire and The Wirld is Not Enough. A bit of a shame really :) Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to this thread but my Hard drive blew up! But I'm back now so all's well!

I don't think anyone can be too old for Roger! I can see why people dislike him as Bond, but I love him! He's definately the most amusing, and that's what I like about him(although I thinkDAD was bordering on a Moore-esque film)! My younger sister, for instance, will only watch the newer Bond movies (Brosnan), simpky because they are new, and the only old one's she'll watch are the Moore ones-her and friends find Connery too old and out dated! I don't get it though-Sean, Roger and Pierce are all great for different reasons! :)

It is a shame about Q, but I think Cleese is doing pretty damn well-they're big shoes to fill!

Yes, they're big shoes to fill. It's been 1 'Q' for all the movies (excluding DAD). And now there's another Q in his place.. Forgot about it but it would take time for anyone to get into the role.

Still, its a shame that the old Q had to leave (and died..) . :)

As for looking at movies cause they're new, I'd tend to agree with your sister... I can't stand (for some unknown reason) old looking movies (picture not that clear, effects, etc..). I guess I've fallen victim to this technology. :) (so.. im victim # 99 billion?) :)
