Soldier Of Fortune 2, The Next Great Game

Soldier of Fortune was a great game that added many new features to the first person shooter genre. Soldier of Fortune 2: Double Helix looks like it will be even better than the first one. Using the Quake 3 engine this game has very beautiful, highly detailed graphics. It will have many new weapons and some old favorites. You will also be able to combine weapons, for example, an Uzi and a Pistol or two pistols. This game will also ship with four multiplayer modes and tons of maps to play them on. It should also have a very good single player campaighn as well. With great graphics, new weapons, awesome single and multiplayer modes, Soldier Of Fortune 2:Double Helix is definitly a game to watch for.

So far....VERY Good !

The first Soldier Of Fortune was incredible, and this one stands to draw the crowd in that didn't play the first one. There is a test multiplayer release out for the public to partake in, and even with only one level the game proves worthy of purchase. Raven has yet to disappoint on any release, and SoF2:DH is no exception. Multiple gameplay modes allow for experiences similar to games from Rogue Spear to Q3A types. A definate must-buy in my book. ;o)

soldier of fortune 2 rocks

To any one who is an avid gamer, this game will shurely prove to be a memorable experience. If you thought that counter-strike was a good game, then you'll love this game. So far all i, and anyone, have played is the multiplayer demo, and already, even though it is the first release and a beta version at that, the gameplay is awesome. You can select from various types of game modes such as Infiltration-a team based co-op where each team (terrorists and anti-terrorists) have their own objectives, Deathmatch-a straight up free for all, team death match-a team based free for all, and elimination-last team left alive wins, and many more. The way some of these versions are set up is really awesome. Infiltration, for example, gives the player only one life, making gameplay nerve-racking and extremely fun, it also brings a sense of realism to the game as no one is recklessly running around corners with total disregard for themselves (the thought being that if they die they'll respawn). With the weapons themselves, from what i've seen there are only "real" weapons (i.e.-no laser guns, etc.), and the realism inside the weapons themselves is astounding. The barrel mounted RPG on the m4 requires the players "hand" to move from the main trigger down the the RPG trigger, another little "real" part in the game. Obviously one should notice that i can't say enough about this game but...bottom line...BUY THIS GAME, you won't regret it...if you do send it to me :)

SOF I was great so should SOF II

As a heavy FPS gamer, and as a big SOF fan, I was VERY dissapointed to find out how much worse this game is from the original. This is based on the multiplayer demo, which I downloaded 2 weeks ago.

I first realized that the game uses the quake 3 arena engine. OK. Very good. Next thing I realize is the menu layout. It [stinks]. It is just plain terrible. I couldn't figure out how to get into a multiplayer game for atleast a minute. I then realized that multiplayer games were a sinch to get into. Very good. Then I realize, these graphics are terrible! I would have never guessed this game was on the quake 3 arena engine unless I had seen it loading before the game pops up. I was dissapointed to see the graphics so poorly taken advantage of.

Besides the graphics, a few other things bugged me. I found the aiming mechanism to be quite inaccurate at times. With a pistol, i could crouch, and stand still, with the aimer very close to eachother, and then still shoot way off, sometimes at unbelievably inaccurate places. The next thing I realized is that the guns are all about the same. Machine gun, bigger machine gun, SMG, smaller SMG, sniper rifle, grenades (boring).

The other thing i realized that I was VERY dissapointed about is that there is no violence!!! I shot someones arm off, and they just groan, and they fall down! I can not see limbs being blasted off almost all of the time, and I sometimes can't even see blood!!! SOF was great for its realistic violence and great blood, guts, and other gore. SOF is nothing without it!!!

Hope this review helps, but I gotta run. PEACE

DO NOT REVIEW GAMES BEFORE THEY ARE RELEASED!

Dude, the SOF Multiplayer TEST you have is exactly that, a test. How about waiting for the full version before writing a review? YOu have no clue about the main features of this title. Random Mission Generator for replay value, and trust me, the gore will be amazing. There is a video floating around of just how gory it can be. ... Just wait and see...

One of the best FPS since SOF 1

I've been playing the multiplayer beta for the past 2 weeks, and have been nothing short of blown away (no pun intended). The graphics are great and the weapons are REAL. I didn't like the Microwave pulse gun or whatever it was called. It had geat effects, just didn't like that it wasn't real. SOF II however, even has the names right, unlike some games (anyone remember Goldeneye?). In response to Andrew, the "computer wiz", he ought to look at the title of the file you downloaded. BETA means that's it a test and not the final version. Of course things like the GHOUL engine weren't in and the graphics not as good. I preordered my copy the day after I played the beta. I reccomend that every else either order or go to your local store and buy it.

SOF 2 Multiplayer Test

Well, I enjoyed the demo and couldn't put the keyboard or mouse down...

I noticed that the structure of the game (2 groups running after each other, the radar map, the score screen, etc..) is highly based on the same structure that Counter-Strike had...

But we can still find some basic features from the first SOF in this new game which is nice (the characters, some weapons, controls, etc)...

All in all, I can't wait to see the full game, I bet we'll find more weapons, more maps, more features opened up for us which might change our views...

Good job!!

I played the soldier of fortune 2 multiplayer test demo and it is one of the greatest games that i have ever played with a few exceptions. i would first like to point out that i think that this game is definitaly better than counter strike. the bad parts about the game is that i think the pistol is too powerful and the shotgun is way too powerful. the graphics are amzing. i would prefer that u would put the resolution on 1024/746 or something in that range for best play

This game ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SOOOOO FUN
