Bond also had a phone installed in his car as well.
Cleese's Q never liked Bond based simply from Bond's reputation of not returning items in pristine condition. The hat is capable of slicing through stone and metal when thrown hard enough. One of the few gadgets ever improvised by Bond in the field, and thus not manufactured by Q branch. Good idea, but I would have preferred the ability to have a single player option within the multiplayer scenarios. After Bond resigns from MI6, we see him cleaning out his desk, and gadgets from past films are shown, including the rebreather from Thunderball and Red Grant's garotte watch from From Russia with Love. He does escape the peril, but by using a non-gadget solution. Bond to take better care of them and to occasionally read the instruction manual. Bond has now planted the seeds for its own destruction. The one I probably used the most was the rappel, although it was often mission dictated.
And unlike previous Bond games, there the gadgets are more credible. Boothroyd's given name, although no first name was ever mentioned in the novels or on screen. The multiplayer section of the game has gone under a significant change that has not been present in the previous Bond scenarios. Walter, a wizened agent who designs all the gadgets and tools used by "Section One". This is a holdover from Fleming's novels, in which Bond is described as having a similar watch. It allows the players to race, play cooperatively or go for the highest score in various missions within the multiplayer.
Handy in a tight spot, I thought the ability to have Bond rappel up or down while holding a weapon ready was a good change. The Terry Pratchett novels Thief of Time and Night Watch both feature an innovative weapons designer named Qu, a member of the History Monks. In the unofficial Bond film, Never Say Never Again, Alec McCowen plays Q otherwise known as Algy or Algernon.
