Bond. James Bond.

Has anybody tried making Bond as a character in the Allied campaign? The classic Connery-era Bond would have been a young guy (about 20 years old or so) in 1943. A British Scout with high shooting would be just about right.

Yeah, but what is Bond without his Walther PPK which unfortunately isn't in the game? :wink:

[ImperatorMJ]

Yeah. It was even developed in time -- they COULD have put it in the game. Still, just because Bond the suave, experienced double-oh uses a PPK, that wouldn't mean that Bond the punk kid navy commando would. He could use a P38 and find that he likes Walther guns in general.

 

Besides, at the beginning of Dr. No, you can see that prior to the PPK, Bond carried a Beretta. It's established that Bond has used and can use different guns. And don't get me started on that P99 crap...

[ImperatorMJ]

Plus, here's a fun idea. Maybe Thor's Hammer is an embryonic version of SPECTRE.

I don't think Bond received his PPK before "Casino Royale". If I recall correctly he got it from the "Armsmaster" (Q?) 'cause his old gun jammed or somthing. But it's very long time since I read the book.

Or was it even until Dr. No?

In Dr. No he was forced to turn in his Beretta for the PPK, a more reliable weapon.

OK. Thx for sorting that.

I thought he had to trade in his PPK in Dr No? An armourer calls it a 'ladies gun' or something, and he ends up taking two or three guns with him. OR perhaps I'm thinking of something else?
