Sof ii sp demo is out

Recommended Posts

I'm just downloading it now from fileplanet. Not the most realistic game, but Raven is a good company and the effort they have seemed to put into it should make it good.

True enough...

But in SoF, you got to blow bits off! w00t!!!

I always liked shooting guys in the groin to watch them double over and do the funky ckicken...then blast off an arm or a leg to finiSh them off!!

Yes, I am a sadistic bastard smile.gif

I got mine off of fileplanet, but I have gone to the evil side and bought a membership to get a server. Not bad I use it a lot so for $10Cdn a month it's not bad.

As for just enougher shooter, yeah, but sometimes that's what I want and Raven does do a good job. JKII was a good game. So far the demo is really good. The jungle looks great, linear, but good. Now all I have to do is figure out how to unlock the gore in the demo to see how the new engine works.

This will be a good month for mindless violence, SOFII and GFA3 both being released this month.

Raven software always seem to make the best 1st person shooters. Well, in my opinion that is. They get an old engine, they make it better and whoopie a game. Let's look at a few shall we:

Heretic; Nice game based on the doom engine. They made it possible to look up and down (45 degrees up and 45 down) and fly with the "wings of wrath" spell. therefore they also modified the engine to have the same x,y coordinates as other objects in the game

Hexen; Same as above, but based on DoomII engine. Possibility to jump also included, and a hub based level. You could go to one level, and return later to the other. Some nice RPG element in this one

HexenII; Based on the Quake I engine. Also hub based levels, possibility to fly and nice RPG element. Nice graphics for the time being.

Heretic II; Based on the Quake II engine. I loved this one. 3rd person few, and some nice acrobatic moves. Hub based and much modifications.

Soldier of Fortune; Last game based on QuakeII engine. A shitload of modifications on this one. Very nice grapics and an exellent game. In tribute to Id software's Quake II engine they created the last level in a Castle in Germany. This was based on Wolfenstein. Nice level it was.

Elite Force; Based on the Quake III engine. Very nice graphics, but i don't like startrek sad.gif

Jedi Knight II; Also based on the Quake III engine. I love it.

Soldier of Fortune II; Same as above, haven't played it yet.

Personally I spent five minutes running around getting shot at by people I couldn't even see, finally spotted a couple, shot them, then gave up. Then again, I wasn't very impressed with the original SoF either; I've played the original game all the way through, but switched to god mode about half-way because it had become so predictable and repetitive.

What a disappointment! SOF 1 was cool for its cartoon like action and excessive gore. Now they have made an halfassed attempt to implement som realism, and it failed so utterly.

I like failure games smile.gif ! E.g. I like global operations more than Counterstrike (now dont stone me). So SOF II might be just the right game for me tounge.gif

Well here's how to unlock the gore in the demo:

In your shortcut add this line: +set lock_blood 0

Then in the main menu bring down the console : Sht+~

Now type: menu lock

That opens up the violence lock menu, when it asks for a password, just hit enter and then you can adjust the gore in the game.

I tell ya, the blood has the same cartoony look. When you see a pool of blood it has a little 'shine' on it, a little white square that kinda makes a shine when you draw.

It doesn't? Works fine in my computer... Does it say something like cheats are not enabled on this server?

If so, try adding seta sv_cheats 1 in the myconfig.cfg file, in soldier of fortune ii - sp demo\demo

Well, graphics are awesome - the grass kicks ass, but the levels are quite small and linear, which is a shame. I'd like long distance fighting when using assault rifles and grenadelaunchers, not 10m away from the enemy.
