GoldenEye 007: Disrupt Surveillance Equipment

GoldenEye 007: Disrupt Surveillance Equipment, #GE007DSE, is a 20-mission, full-game mod designed specifically for GoldenEye 007 veterans. Playing on emulator is notoriously easy, so this mod was designed to make the game more difficult for emulator while not being frustrating or unfair. It also adds back in a number of unused beta assets and ideas.

Every mission has anywhere from 15 to 25 cameras to find and destroy as an added objective, but this mod is more than just a scavenger hunt. It is a challenge mod featuring twists and turns, with many of those new cameras being heavily patrolled by beefed up guards. Veteran players will need to rethink their muscle-memory strategies, especially if they want to beat all of the target times.

There are some trolls and inside jokes, some memes, some shoutouts, and some comedic moments as you navigate James Bond through 20 missions of intense, camera-destroying fun. Several mission objectives have also been added or expanded upon throughout the game. Special attention was given to adding back in beta object presets that were cut in GoldenEye's original development, along with adding in many more details, objects, and guards the original developers "could" have added if they had access to the modern Footsteps patch. Unused spaces are updated to feel more lived in, resulting in levels that feel less empty and more realistic or true to the film.

In DSE, Bond isn't just a 00 agent trying to stop Janus: he is a camera-destroying machine. All cameras area located in-bounds of each level's vanilla clipping. When in doubt, look for cameras in the liminal and unused areas of each mission. DSE tries to make use of many underutilized spaces in GoldenEye's open mission design by adding cameras and other objectives. See the Hints and Tips section if you have trouble on certain missions.

DSE was designed and tested exclusively on 00 Agent, changed to "Camera Agent" in-game. And yes, get used to a lot of over-the-top camera references. That's the mod's theme, after all!
