Description

Objective:
The stakes are even higher in this heart-pounding sequel to the FPS hit! An insidious threat has arisen in the form of a bio-terrorist organization and their two-pronged Gemini Virus. Your mission: Race around the globe to neutralize the terrorists before the plague is unleashed on humanity.

Parameters:
Reprise the role of John Mullins: patriot, weapons specialist, anti-terrorist mercenary and "Military Consultant." Trust no one - only your ability to take out operatives with your brains, brawn and firepower. Failure is not an option.

GHOUL II Technology:
At the time of the original release, the addition of GHOUL II to the Quake III: Arena™ engine allowed for more animations, ore damage and more pulse-pounding action than ever before - with 36 damage zones and 16 dismemberment zones! Additional features included per-pixel hit detection, fully skeletal, soft-skinned models and a facial animation system for even more realistic characters.

Nostalgic throwback -bitter throwup :P

Bought the game with nostalgic feelings as I enjoyed it back in 2002. Now looking back at it with recent (but reasonable) expectations - it is a _major_ disappointment. Almost feels like an amateur fanbased bug-filled FPS. You can meet: - enemies visibly popping out of nowhere, hitscanning and shooting your eye out through trees, walls and foliage from a mile away - cover hitboxes are huge and cheating. Enemies pop out of cover and hit you, however you cannot hit them, even leaning out they are STILL behind the cover. - a "stealth meter" which is completely useless (when stealth is needed the whole stuf is scripted so, when not, basically you CANNOT be stealthy, even prone crawling draws attention) - surprisingly linear, tubelike and ugly cubefest maps (with TONS of crates - cmon, devs tried to avoid "crate mazes" even back in 2002 - suprisingly chunky textures (even for 2002) - the only good thing is the sound design, it still has the well-recognized Hollywood-style gun SFX. Raven's similar-aged (basically came out a month earlier) Jedi Outcast is STILL a masterpiece in 2020. This.....thing, it just ain't my cup of tea. Unfortunately the nostalgy wore off almost instantly.

not good as the first one

Even if the first impact was quite good for the improved graphics and the nice story,I realized halfway through the game that the spawn of the enemies was ridicolous. Many of the levels are super linear so the programmers decided to add enemies that spawn just behind you, but you will get used to it and turn every time there is a door or a window, knowing that an enemy will come out of it... it became pretty boring, play it just for the story.

Mission style gameplay but more violent

Soldier of Fortune II Double Helix is an ultra violent version of Goldeneye for the PC with better AI. Bare in mind that while this is a squeal to the first with the same characters and setting it has almost nothing in common from a gamely prospective. While the first one was a fast paced run, gun and shooting everything in sight kind of game. The sequel is a tactical shooter with more objective style gameplay and tactical maneuvering. Handling recoil is one of the key components of this game. Most of the time you can set your gun to fire full auto semi-auto and burst. This is nothing new but what is different is that there’s no ironsight. This means that you have to steady your corsair manually and be extremely mindful, of what your trigger finger is doing. But that’s half the fun. It’s a very different experience from the first one but a good one nonetheless. While there are some aspect of this game that hasn’t aged well such as animation bugs and physics collision, this should hold you back from what other wise is a very satisfying tactical shooter, with very decent AI to boot.

Funny game

The game is funny to play and it isn't dead. Graphic ok its old, who cares. xD So for me it's running great and i ihave fun ingame. Especially i like that you can bind text messages with a sound. Never saw this in a other game. :D Unfortlny when you want to play the mp, you need to find fx1 mod or you will see no servers. Conclusion: Its an old game, it's playable, its funny and many to read when you never play it before. :) One star lost because of the Server issue.
