[edit] Weapons

I searched a few of the weapons on Google, and only came up with results for this game. I think they modified the names of real weapons to avoid copyrights. For example, "Wolfram PP7" instead of Walther P99.-LtNOWIS 02:23, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I suggest we move the weapons list to List of firearms in first-person shooters and find out the real names of the weapons mentioned. TonicBH 06:01, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Move to 007: Nightfire

I would like to suggest a move to 007: Nightfire as that seems to be the official title. Suggestions or opinions?--analoguedragon 20:10, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

According to the official website it as "James Bond 007: NightFire". I really don't care. K1Bond007 21:05, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, It's not very clear which is the correct name (they use both names on the official site), so I'll just leave it like this for now. I really don't care that much for James Bond games ;)--analoguedragon 22:29, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Spoiler

Added a spoiler warning above the Characters section -- I didn't know Dominique was killed!

Good idea. I may restructure the article to put those details elsewhere, spoilers shouldn't be in the character bios! --Benjrh 02:42, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bad Reviews?

This game was not released to universally bad reviews, as the article states. In fact, it received very good scores from most major game websites and magazines and is widely considered to be one of the best Bond games. Perhaps the author confused this game with Agent Under Fire or Rogue Agent? Anyways, I'm changing it unless someone can back it up.

The game is great... but fans off course preffer games based in the films and not fictional-created by EA plot.

People say the PC version made by Gearbox Software as an inferior version. and I concur, the console versions are better than the PC version by far. The notice COULD be reinstated but to be clarified since the console versions DID get decent reviews. -TonicBH 04:09, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Correct... A comparsion between the versions may be needed. The PC version lack the the driving missions, as well as having very minimal hand to hand combat options... Also the AI is terrible. Characters stop their attack on you in mid action. I will layout plans for this section. --Benjrh 02:42, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

These should clarify the ratings conflict: http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbx/jamesbond007nightfire?q=nightfire http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps2/jamesbond007nightfire?q=nightfire http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/jamesbond007nightfire?q=nightfire http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/cube/jamesbond007nightfire?q=nightfire According to Metacritic's rating system all of the games (excluding the PC's) are "Generally Favorable". http://www.metacritic.com/about/scoring.shtml#game MafiaCapo 21:29, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Engine

The console versions do NOT use the GoldSrc / Half-Life engine. They use a proprietary engine written by Eurocom.

[edit] Gadgets

Shouldn't there be a gadgets section? Bibliomaniac15 01:33, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Good idea, I will add such a section when I improve the article.--Benjrh 02:42, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Content Errors/Improvements

There are details which are incorrect in this article. For example, the company name is clearly Phoenix International. Also the level of detail can be increased. I am not sure if the company name is different depending on the version. Can someone with a European version as well as a version for system (not PC/Mac) please confirm the name. Thank-you.

I plan to drastically improve the article in the coming weeks/months. Anyone interested in helping or wishing to talk about it, please post on here or on my discussion page--Benjrh 02:42, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

I added a piece about Halle Berry's appearence on the cover to the Trivia section. MafiaCapo 21:32, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

That's not Halle Berry. K1Bond007 22:02, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Hmmmm... it looks like her but I suppose it could be Kiko. MafiaCapo 02:18, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

My PS2-DVD version has a trailler of Die Another Day, located in options and off course Berry apeears. --Ragnarok Addict 18:58, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Car level

I just notice the car level was made by Need for Speed: Host Pursuit 2 staff. I readed this on EGM November 2002. If close look at Vanquish it is exactly the same 3D model in Hot Pursuit 2. --Ragnarok Addict 18:57, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missions

All the missions are written with "you". Shouldn't it be "the player" or "Bond"?
