Poll: Hardest GoldenEye level?

[AgDr_ODST]

I could never figure out how to get to the golden gun on Egypt so that level gets my vote.

 

[EzraPound]

The very last level of the ones you had to unlock, never beat it when I had my 64, be damned if I can remember the name

Egyptian

the control level. Natasha just could not stay alive, I remember I beat the level once but I forgot to destroy all the mainframes so I still failed the mission. I think that was the first time I ever swore.

"Natalya"

Probably Aztec, in terms of sheer difficulty.
However I put bunker 2 down, because it's a fucking endurance fest, no matter what way you take it. Slow and stealthy took me and hour to get through.
Fighting your way through amounts to backing into a room and killing every mook that funnels into the room. They send about half the Russian army though, I'm not sure if they ever stop spawning. Rushing is viable until double 0 agent, whereupon they turn your coward ass to swiss cheese, and kill Natalya if you start doing too well.
That level can fuck right off!

I beat it in one try on 00 Agent. . . it's actually not that hard. Thing is, you can leave Natalya in the cell until you've cleared out all of the guards, and they don't respawn indefinitely unless the alarms are set off -- which shouldn't be difficult to prevent, if you're mindful of where the cameras are situated. Other than that, the trick is simply to use the KF7 Soviet's loud shot to lure guards to you, rather than going on the offensive, then to strafe and take them out, sequentially by corridor. The only overly difficult part, I found, was at the beginning of the level, since you receive only ten bullets from the jail cell guard once you've karate'd him, meaning it's easy to run out of ammo when you exit the room and begin a firefight with the numerous other guards you inevitably attract. I've heard the throwing knives are useful for this (magnetized from the well to the right of your cell door), though when I played the level, I actually botched it, then had so little health I had to beat the rest without getting shot (which is wholly doable).

 

[PureChaos]

either control or aztec

 

[DustyDrB]

Bunker II, only because Natalya always would step into my line of sight.

 

[Berserker119]

I honestly forget what it's called, but that one level with the tank. It was just too tempting to just ride around blowing things up, while I slowly failed the mission.

 

[WhiteFangofWhoa]

Control.

It's the one level where you can die before even getting out the elevator you start in... On 00 Agent (and possibly Secret I can't remember) there is a Drone Gun PERFECTLY positioned to ruin you, opening fire before you even step through the doors. Like the other two Drone Guns in the opening area it's got unlimited range and is hard to see in the darkness. The rest of the complex's Drone Guns are slightly more visible but make up for it with numbers and guard support (there's one corridor with 4 or 5 of them). After about ten deaths, a good player will be able to make it to the control room and watch Natalya be gunned down/blown up for the umpteenbillionth time.

Honorable mention to Aztec.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Both the winter maps, the city level, and the last mission.

 

[WorldCritic]

Control and Train. Fuck you Natalia.

 

[Antiparticle]

Aztec. Ugh. Took me forever to complete that on 00 Agent.
Control was horrible too.
