because of the huge success of Goldeneye on the N64, which was hailed best shooter of all time, still yet to be overcome. which is mainly because all of EA"s bond games are MUCH TO SHORT godleneye has 20'ish missions, whereas EA's have 10'ish, so less bang for the buck. but EA is doing it there going to create a sequel, veering back to the Nightfire'ish gameplay and away from 3rd person stealth and try and best the BEST.
