Talk:Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix

Objectivity issue

The series' focal point, graphic depiction of human bodily dismemberment,

I have an issue with starting off the description like this, since it sounds to me like it was written by Jack Thompson. Dismemberment is a common feature (motif?) of the series, but not necessarily its focal point. I'll probably do a thorough edit, unless everybody thinks its unnecessary. I wanted to get some opinions. ObsidianOps (talk) 01:40, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

How can this be true?:

The PC version of Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix received mostly positive reviews, however, there was some speculation that it had been rushed in order to avoid competing with Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, another competing title that was also Quake III engine-based.

Raven developed both titles, why would they rush one of them to avoid "competition" with the other?

Even if two games coming out are both yours, you can still hurt their sales by releasing them too close together. It´s quite simple: most people buying these games are young customers with a limited budget, and will only buy one of them if released at the same time. Spread the release dates a little and there is a much bigger chance they will get both. --Threedots dead 22:54, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

The Gold upgrade is also a free download, correct?

(replying to that unsigned comment) Yes. --TimeDoctor 04:55, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

The Story

The story is barely even scratched upon, even in comparison to the page for the first Soldier of Fortune. I will look into finding a viable source to support what I can remember of the Story before diting. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PleasantKenobi (talk • contribs) 12:45, 24 January 2007 (UTC).

SOF 3?

you know it could be real nice....only i hope it will be Realistic altough because ArmA and BF2...it won't go that well..

Looks like it´s indeed coming: [1]

Although it appears to be a value-title, whatever that means. But what the hell, it´s a new SoF. I just hope it´s not a retarded Arab-shooter.--Threedots dead 12:54, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

MMO only lived for 4 days?

The wording is bad: "Soldier of Fortune Online was published in Korea by Dragonfly and went in Closed Beta on August 12, 2010 and ended on August 16, 2010." So did the game ("full version") even ever go online? -- TVippy  19:33, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
