1997: Extra modes are found and unlocked, extending the fun of the game for the players.

2011: Didn't preorder from Gamestop? Too fucking bad. Pay up.

Just more crap gamers take from Activision.

I am shocked and surprised that they would do this.

No wait. No I'm not. It was pretty much destined to happen.

They made my favorite goofy mode from these old Rare FPSes DLC? To hell with that noise.

I liked it better when Questionable Casting was called WTH Casting Agency

I didn't know they were making a PS 360 version of Goldeneye until now.

Is it still going to have that Daniel Craig retcon bullcrap?

This picture in the comments says it best, methinks.

^ Pretty much that. Not that I would buy this anyway, it will undoubtedly be a bland cover shooter with regenerating health.

Is this going to be significantly different from the Wii remake other than updated graphics...?

To be fair, something like paintball would be rather problematic to have as a second package, since the code to do it isn't easily compartmentalized away from the main runtime scripts.

Still, holding stuff on the disk ransom is stupid. If you want exclusive DLC, levels/weapons are perfectly fine. Hell, even patching the level file to insert an easter egg is relatively simple.

Honestly, I don't care about this news - I always friggin' hated paintball mode.

the only real use for paintball mode was seeing where exactly your shots landed on the other guy.

and giggling like the kids we were when there was a big ol splotch of paint on the other guys crotch.

I heavily doubt it. But I don't own a Wii and I'm a complete tool, so I'll buy it anyway.
