Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix - Gold Edition

Not as good as the first game, but it's definitely still trying to be good, there's definitely passion put into it. But where the last game had you fighting white supremacists with stolen nukes, this game just has you fighting ISIS with a stolen strain of anthrax, it's just not the same, it's far more grounded and... well... Boring, I guess. The charm of the Quake 2 engine models has been lost, as everyone has super uncanny eyes now, and while the gore is still present, you aren't going to be splitting heads in half as often as the first game.

old skool but love it . Back to the old days . . . :D

This has to be one of the worst shooters I have ever played. There seems to be little rhyme or reason to how much damage your character can take, sometimes you can walk right into enemy fire and calmly kill them while taking next to no damage and the next second you die without even knowing that there was an enemy in the area. This especially true for explosives which seem to have no consistency whatsoever to the damage they cause and the range of the explosion and they sometimes outright ignore cover. Also especially on higher difficulty levels enemies seems appear out of nowhere, shooting you in the back from an area that you just cleared. The game seems to have massive issues with colliders as your character gets stuck on pretty much everything which makes the movement even more awkward than it already is. However my biggest issues are the extremely sluggish movement and the gunplay itself. Walking feels like a you're moving at slow motion and Sprinting feels like a carefree saunter, that makes modern shooter feel like Quake by comparison. The gunplay is also absolutely horrendous, even semi automatic weapons have a ridiculous amount of random bullet spread, pretty much completely taking player skill out of the equation. Especially at longer ranges you're basically just pointing the weapon in a general direction and hope that you hit someone before you run out of ammo or get one hitted by someone who miraculously appeared behind you. This further adds to the chaos and randomness and also makes this probably by far the most difficult shooter I've ever played, as it is probably the only shooter that I couldn't get through on the highest or even second to highes difficulty level. This wouldn't necesarrily be a bad thing, however you never feel like you died because you screwed up but rather because somethin randomly murdered you, making the game extremely frustrating, the limited amount of saves further aggrevates this, making the gaem pretty much unplayable.

Awesome Oldschool Game which you missed in Germany due to Censorship

Every part of this game is enormously insulting to the player's intelligence. New enemies are spawned literally behind your back, buildings and rooms locked until you're told to go inside, then they miraculously unlock, plot is full of little gems like 1989's Czech soldiers speaking russian and using US military hardware, whole levels are wasted on things like walking two empty rooms across and entering an elevator, breaking stealth in mandatory stealth sections means instant game over but the game considers very weird things to be stealth breaking (running around soldiers and loudly breaking crates isn't, instakilling a soldier with a knife but not a thrown knife alerts everyone on map no matter where it happened). Hitboxes and hitdection sometimes work, sometimes do not work at all, expect all trees to be way wider than their 3D models suggest - for you, enemies can shoot through anything if they want to. There's also possibly the worst escort mission in history, where player is irrevocably instakilled should he stray too far ("too far" might be other side of a river, might be around a building's corner).
