Waste of time and money
Hated it. They ruined the franchise. It's not worth even 1 dollar.

Doesn't even work
Even if you do the v-sync thing to fix the invincible enemies, this game still isn't worth playing. Save your time, money and effort.

Garbage
This game shouldn't have seen daylight. I can't even finish the damn game because of botched hitboxes. I don't know what happened with the SoF series. 1st and 2nd game were bloody good games but this, this is just Garbage bag with the SoF name on it.

Avoid this one, Play SOF 1 & 2 instead
Oh my... this is painful to even write a review. If it was possible to Give 0 of 5 stars, that would still be too much. Getting the game for free would still be too expensive. Only reason I have this game Soldier of Fortune Payback was because it was cheaper to buy the SOF Triple pack when it was on sale than the games individually. Im only playing it to say I did, regret playing it and shelve it permanently. The only things that this game has good going for it (for its particular time period of release) is the graphics and physics (Havok Engine - same used in many games like Fallout 3 & 4, Oblivion & Skyrim). Everything else is really really bad or way over the top. Story / Background - very dull. Your Radio Comms NPC and Players Voicing kills any depth or momentum it has right away. Gameplay - Its one of the worse in terms of controls and mechanics. - Basic movements up, down, strafe left, strafe right and mouse movement are the only thing normal, except no way to deactivate Mouse Acceleration In-Game. So you gotta remember to lower your Mouse DPI instead. - Keys cannot be rebound in-game and must be done at the config file, but that is limited to very few keys and Mouse1 & 2. - Ladders are not designed and scripted well, its like you just slide up and down, still holding your guns with 2 hands or ADS. - Sprinting is Tight and narrow, you cannot make any turns, just pretty much running in a straight line for about 5 seconds. - Enemies have scripted spawns that make them pop out of nowhere, this wouldnt be a problem in a pathed encounter, but when you clear an area or find an area that is 3 walls or no entry visible, leave and then start getting shot up from that area by 2-3 enemies that spawned in; thats a problem. Gunplay - Guns are a stiff mess... Ragdolls are Great, but decapitations over exaggerated like a Tarantino film. Avoid, dont even watch YT playthroughs. It brings nothing to the series, even its story.
