Here's a new page.It has some glitches that appear in the game. It is STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION! There aren't many, but there are still plenty on the way.

Snipe Away, Far away!
	This an interesting thing. If you use a Sniper Rifle to it's maximum range, you can see guards and other elements "floating in the air". This only works in some levels, especially the big ones, and only levels where the only way to get a Sniper is with cheats. In the last pic, it looks like the guy is a giant standing on the edge of the tank... Don't worry, it's just a perspective view. He is actually standing in the middle of the runway. And for the pic on top, notice that the view is from under the walkway where you begin.

Just if you really feel like messing up your sound...
	Just to mess up your sound in Cradle, throw plenty of knifes over the edge and the sound will run choppy. Not very useful.

And now for the graphics...
In Surface 2, you can mess up the little graphic next to your ammo count for explosive weapons. Mess around allot with grenades and rockets for a short while. Your ammo picture will look like choppy glitched up graphics.

Impossible physics
	A little something to try... In Facility, at the bottom of the stairs shoot the door. Now open it and the bullet holes (or the paintballs) will show up on the wall in the same pattern you shot it on the door.

Original Remote Mines floating in the air trick
	When mines get layed on glass or any other object that is "destroyable", and the objects breaks, the remote mine will float in the air instead of falling to the flood. Note that when you place it on a "destroyable" object, it usually blows up with the item. But if the box has already been broken once or twice, you can place one there as if it was still the original shape... There is another and more effective way of making them float. Check out the cheats page.

Invisible Mines
A nifty trick to catch your enemy off guard in multi, is to place a mine on a gun or ammo box and then to pick it up. The mine will visually disappear put will not go away for good as "it" is still active right where you laid it.

The "paper" factor!!!
	After playing a while players will start to notice something which is actually a MAJOR glitch in the game! If you guessed "Hey! Guards can't shoot at you behind railing!", then you are absolutely correct. Not only are they to stupid (not programmed well) with the clipping factor because they can't shoot through railing but they have to stand right in front of you to shoot at you. The Railing is messed up too, though. Explosions, guards, glass and plenty of other live objects appear in front of railing when they are actually behind it. Luckily, we get so used to it that we barely even notice, plus it happens only at certain angles and distances. Other examples are: when bullet holes go fuzzy and split when your looking right in front of it, and when background texture and colors such as the yellow striped tape appear through a guard when you look at them from far. Rare sure has some investment and improvement to put in it's debug testing!

Solid water???
Ever notice how the water in Golden Eye behaves? It's as hard as rock. First, it doesn't move. Secondly, grenades and mines bounce off of the surface. The only clues we get that it is water is that the color is an obvious blue, and the faint splash sound when you shoot it. Doesn't compare with Wave Race: Blue Storm for GameCube...

Split up the ammo, would you?
Certain ammo boxes, when shot, will split in two. The only one I have confirmed up to now is one of the boxes in temple, in the big open space on one of the sides.

Red, we want to see MORE red!
Blood fanatics, listen up. An annoying way to teach your opponent a good lesson when they die, in multi-player, is too shoot at the floor at the exact same spot where the dead corpse fell down. It will disappear, but not the clipping, till he presses start again. Take the advantage to shoot him a bit to make him all red!

On days where you have to do the job yourself...
Added by: bobrob@tigerdrive.com "On the facility level, at the very end when you'r talking to 006 and the alarm goes off, take the stairs at the back of the room that you can climb to get a clear view of everything (take care of the 2 gaurds). When Ouromov comes in to kill Trevilyan take out a sniper rifle and shoot him in the end a couple times. this has to be done right before he's about to pull the trigger. After that Trevilyan's just kneeling there and you can do what ever you want to him. Even if you shoot him you won't fail the mission. All guns and infinite ammo are needed for this cheat."
