However, hidden Quake developer console commands ultimately ruined the multiplayer aspect allowing players to shut down servers and hack other players resulting in an extreme loss of interest in trying to keep servers up. These were earlier days when Punkbuster's system of detecting aimbots and hacks was in it's infancy.… Expand

   I've hardly ever gone across games like Soldier of Fortune in my life. Of course, you're in the presence of a normal, cold-blood I've hardly ever gone across games like Soldier of Fortune in my life. Of course, you're in the presence of a normal, cold-blood shooter. Where you basically run around levels to kill guys that are in your way. However, contrary to most FPS out right now, you have justifications, you know what you're doing. The scenario is solid. Just like its predecessor, even if it did punch you in rather violently. However, the game becomes a bluff when it goes to infiltrating missions. Sometimes too linear, sometimes too wide extended. Often enough, little details are what are missed. Not to mention the enemies that are often swarming and constantly throwing annoying grenades. The game makes a painful progression from the first, but in the end, it's all worthwhile. Those that played the first game should enjoy the second with its enhanced Ghoul… Expand

   A decent game but very frustrating due to the decidedly unfair AI. An enemy soldier should not be able to hear you crawling stealthily along A decent game but very frustrating due to the decidedly unfair AI. An enemy soldier should not be able to hear you crawling stealthily along the ground while he is standing on the other side of a stone wall. Worse yet, he shouldn't be able to throw a grenade over the wall and have it land right at your feet...and grenades should bounce, not stick where they land. And if you are crawling along in dense blizzard conditions with poor visiblity, the enemy soldier shouldn't be able to see you when you can't see him. And he shouldn't be able to shoot you from long distances with the accuracy of a sniper with his machine gun. And the 3-saves that you are given for each level seem like an artificial way to prolong the game because you never quite know when to save. If you use your saves too early, you have to repeat difficult parts of the level over and over again. And if you wait too long and get killed, then you have to repeat difficult parts over and over again. Either way, the player is the loser. It seems the developer did everything they could to make this game overly difficult, but not in a fair way.… Expand

   You know it's fun to go round shooting people...... but not when their heads and limbs get disintegrated!

   It's just like the first game but worse in every aspect. I was extremely let down by this game when it was released, it's It's just like the first game but worse in every aspect. I was extremely let down by this game when it was released, it's uninspired, weapons feel and sound worse, the revolutionary gore system was downgraded and have never been seen again in a FPS since the first game... The entire game that used to be fast action just slows down and you even have to go to meetings (yes really!) in boring buildings.… Expand
