Control (Part ii of Mission 7: Cuba) is the sixteenth level in GoldenEye 007. The formal name of this level is Control Centre. With the long protect sequence, Control has traditionally been the longest level in the game.

Agent
World Record - 3:55
A new strat discovered by Henrik Norgren made this level a whole lot easier and much more consistent in terms of fast objective A completions. The new strat reportedly saves a bit more than a second and involves throwing two mines through walls and looking at Natalya while she runs down the stairs among other things.
Control is primarily a knowledge-based level (more so than other levels at least) and in order to get a good time, you need to know how Natalya works.

LTK
This is a semi-tough LTK level. Using the same protection strat as the one in the SA/00A World Record videos can be quite tricky. However, there is a much easier protection strat available (see Boss' video).
The WR of 4:23 is pretty darn good, albeit not maxed.

DLTK
One of the harder DLTK levels out there. Prepare to get killed a lot of times on great runs. The protection part can be particularly annoying, as well as the silver crate area with its body armored guards. The current WR is far from maxed and doesn't really belong to the stronger records in the game.
The protect sequence will want to make use of guard tracking.

Misconceptions
Faster initial Natalya
The idea that Natalya can have faster reaction by turning earlier is simply wrong. Her "I'm coming, James" message can differ by a few frames but not in any significant or manipulatable manner. Even though the message can seem to come up faster when watching in real time, a frame-by-frame analysis shows that there's no difference whatsoever, no matter which method you use (look up, down, turn right, left, early, late etc etc...).
