4. Aztec (Goldeneye 007)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax4AS_y1Fl0 Prior to Halo: Combat Evolveds introduction of regenerating health/shields, first-person shooters were (save for the exceptions on this list) rather less taxing. Goldeneye 007s first secret level Aztec is comparable to going to the doctors and being surprised with a rectal examination its unpleasant enough being at the doctors to begin with, but this crushingly hard mission just made everything so much worse. Some contend that Control is deserving of the title of Goldeneye 007s hardest level, though we believe that the presence of Jaws alone and his two US AR33 Assault Rifles is enough to get Aztec the nod. Based on the 1979 Bond movie Moonraker, gamers trying to complete Aztec on the 00 Agent difficulty must be extremely tactical in their approach it is the height of misplaced valour to attempt to tackle Jaws too prematurely and get swarmed upon by the guards. While were on the subject, not only are the levels guards kitted out with some of the best equipment in the game like Moonraker lasers, but they also enjoy better accuracy than the rest of the games guard. This insane level is normally considered to be the benchmark to determine whether a player is ready for the hardest 007 difficulty mode Rare certainly know how to separate the men from the boys. WhatCulture Tip: It takes around 15 laser headshots to fell the mighty oak that is Jaws, so make sure youre having a good shooting day.
