Engine

GoldSrc (Nightfire‎ branch)

James Bond 007: Nightfire is a first-person shooter developed by Eurocom Entertainment Software and published by Electronic Arts. While the home console versions use Eurocom's in-house engine (a precursor to EngineX), the PC version of the game, developed by Gearbox Software, uses a highly modified version of the GoldSrc engine, named Gearcraft engine (the map editor also shares the "Gearcraft" name).

The PC port of this game lacks certain features or large amount of content originally present in the home-console version, due to the engine differences aswell as different developer worked on this port. This PC port received mixed reviews once it was released.

There is about as much left of the Half-Life engine in Nightfire as there was of the Quake engine in Half-Life.
