  • A very old game game with already a well-established article, but I think it could be featured article material with just a little more work. :-) — Frecklefoot | Talk 18:58, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I'll echo its significance in its day. EA made a run at making it one of their titles but FTL Games didn't want to stop self-publishing. If they'd taken the deal the game would probably be far better known. Coll7 23:16, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

  • One of the most popular games of the past 10 years. It's obviously not a stub and it has some good things going for it, but it needs improvements. Specifically more on the gameplay and the multiplayer (arguably the most important feature of the game). K1Bond007 19:56, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • I'll support that, I think this game somewhat redefined the genre and possibly marked the high point of Rare's career. I'm not really a fan of FPSs, but I played the heck out of this game. --Pagrashtak 14:27, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
  • One of the greatest FPSs of its time (and perhaps all time). Multiplayer section needs more info on its development, especially since GoldenEye was noted frequently for its amazing multiplayer mode. Gameplay section needs a little expansion, too. Jaxl | talk 03:35, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
  • I wore down my controller because of excessive use -[[User:Mysekurity|Mysekurity]] [[additions | e-mail]] 17:40, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
  • As it is right now, there is definitely featured article potential. Let's keep it going, GoldenEye deserves no less. Tmrobertson 05:48, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

  • A truely great game that crosses boundries. The first MMORPG where I saw husband and wife teams! Silveralex 00:27, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
  • very significant game, probably the most significant MMORPG since the original EverQuest, but the article, while loaded with detail, is pretty disorganized. —Stormie 23:23, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Awesome game. Deserves an article containing much more info. I believe this is currently the most popular game worldwide, and it hasn't even been in exsistence a year yet. Butt 13:46, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

A couple months ago I submitted this to be a featured article, but it didn't make it. I would like to get it fixed up a bit in any way so I can re-nominate it sometime in the future. Thunderbrand 16:10, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

Agree. The article improved for feature article status, but also grew and became something of a "Fat Elvis". It'd be nice to get it on a fitness programme to tone it up for feature status again. --Plumbago 16:30, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

I just recently cleaned up the external links section. I could probably do more seeing as I run www.hl2central.net Thepcnerd 23:51, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
