Just plain not fun

The fact that I can seriously use the sentence from this review's title for Soldier of Fortune 2 after having lots of fun with Soldier of Fortune 1 tells me something with this game has went horribly wrong. It's suffering with just too many highly questionable design choices to be fun. 1. Colombia levels have too much thick foliage, making it difficult to spot enemies. They, however, do not suffer with this problem and will gladly mow you down while you can't even see them. 2. Too many grenade-throwing enemies, with explosive grenades giving very little time to react if they land near you. 3. Enemies find it far too easy to quickly mow you down, even on lower difficulty levels. 4. Limited amount of saves per level, making the previous three complaints even worse. And for some reason, they decided to sacrifice the cheesier atmosphere from the first game and make this one more "realistic". Not only do I not understand why they did this, me preferring the first one's B movie atmosphere, but even this is inconsistent. It's serious most of the times, but then you get the helicopter level where one of the NPCs starts playing Ride of the Valkyrie, something I'd not expect in a "serious" story at all. I have a feeling this was basically a foreshadowing of how bad SoF 3 turned out to be.

Where to begin > ?

Indeed , where to begin. The game itself is a classic title that had it's day in the sun. Mp game play was phenomenal. It still has servers hosted for it even after the master server shutdown. Buying it now, isnt worth it. You can play the single player game and enjoy it so long as you understand that , the game itself is 20 years old. It isn't meant to stand the test of time and run on newer hardware. It wasn't built that way. Many of the older games weren't. I put thousands of Multiplayer hours into this game, running with the best of the best of our time. This game was a cut above most fps in that era. want an FPS single player classic? Buy it. Don't expect much out of it otherwise.

Nostalgic FPS between 2 generations

I played this way back when it first released many many times. One of my favorite FPS games. Still have the original CD's but installing them is a pain on newer systems. Picked up all the SOF games when they hit GOG. You still have to apply some modern fixes if you play on Windows 10 or 11. Never had Win8/8.1 so i couldnt tell you there, but Windows 7 even needed a tweak here and there. Gameplay is pretty good and still holds up with a few issues that are a result of great coding on poor hardware that newer systems take advantage of. Raven's Engine coding seemed to be held back by the performance of older PC's. It is free of those limitation and shows a more challenging experience in both good & bad ways. Feels more claustrophic than the original SOF, using new models & textures on old designs. One of the few games that took advantage of "leaning" mechanics quite well for its time. Gun play is a 7/10 because the Ghoul Engine 2.0 masks or rather distracts some of the issues like Hit Registration. For example the mounted M60 Machine Gun used to just spray in a large cone, now it fires in a tighter circle almost all bullets on top of one another. On older PC's the hit registration was fairly poor and the recoil of guns was all over the place for anything automatic. The coding for Recoil and Hit Registration on newer PC's is actually better. Enemy pathing is a bit broke, not just being scripted, but in combat they tend to be overly accurate with on newer PC's. Often times breaking the limits of targeting, shooting and walls. Ive had an HE grenade kill me through a wall. As always Google "PCGamingWiki Soldier of Fortune II Double Helix" to see what they have for Modern System fixes to make sure you get the best optimum game play. One fix that is not mentioned in the PCGW SOF2 page is an audio skipping/stuttering issue that can be remedied with the same audio patching "Indirectsound" and "dsoal" that SOF1 uses. Drop both in the same folder as SOF2.exe.

Pas mal

Le level design a évidememnt beaucoup vieilli (mais si vous êtes bloqué, il existe beaucoup de soluce sur le net) mais on s'y fait, le gunplay est vraiment très intéressant dans la mesure où chaque arme a vraiment du recul obligeant à gérer ses rafales car un full non maîtrisé et le canon part directement au ciel ce qui change énormément comparé aux FPS actuels en revanche le moteur de démembrement est un peu une douille car en réalité seul le fusil à pompe permet ce démembrement, les autres armes ne le permettent pas ou très rarement, c'est vraiment excessivement regrettable. Bref Sof2 reste un histoirique du FPS, à faire soit par nostalgie soit pour enrichir sa ''culture '' du FPS PC !
