R U buying Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix ?

[Diddy]

Im totally getting it, I entered 4 times to win a copy and an Xbox console at gamespy lmao! Me, My dad, mom, and sister! Plus SOF2 is only gonna cost me 20 bucks.

I'm debating on whether or not this game is going to be worth it... especially with Full Spectrum Warriors just around the corner.

I knew there was another reason not to pick this up yet!

[Diddy]

I heard it was coming out in 2004.

[Dyslexic Chaos]

[borka105]

I am not feeling MC2, so I might trade it for this game..........


I know MM3 is a must buy, so why keep two racers?

Link me to info on that game? I gots no clue I think. Atleast I cant recall NE thing off the top of my head.

[prakeem]

Wait a sec, I changed my mind. I dont think I'll pick up this game. I just palyed it for PC, and wasn't impressed......ah well. Maybe a rental will do...

[Duke]

Think i might pick this one up today. Just return it if it's no good. Don't really feel like waiting the month it's gonna take to hit the rental shelves here.

Eh, and those who are waiting for FSW "just around the corner"

Release date for now is 1/12/04. FSW at EB

With that said, hmmm....I think I'll wait to here what Duke says about this game. I'm still not sure about this game, no matter how 'gory' it is.

[borka105]

for goodness sakes, pick up a first party title that was designed by microsoft and for the xbox and not some lame 2 year old pc port.


MIDTOWN MADNESS 3 is the must have game this summer. God, I gotta get rid of my copy of MC2 (biggest pile of cr*p I ever bought).

Well, I picked it up today.

I have played it for about 15 minutes online and about 40 minutes in single player.

Let me just say that you should NOT trade in your RTCW or Ghost Recon for this game.

Maybe I need more game time, but I have a feeling SOF is going to make a GREAT trade-in.

I was rather disappointed.

That's kinda what I figured. Putting that game on Xbox with no graphical upgradges is a disgrace. I never played it though so I can't comment on gameplay.

Check this out I got a friend that got his today and said there are dedicated servers hosted by activision. So I got on here to tell you guys and check other boards and found lots of comment like this.

Yes there are dedicated servers,I seen 9 of them.And there could of been some full.

so this game is no good?

[Duke]

I wouldn't say no good. It seems from the people I talk to that half of them never want to touch it again (Jafo) and others that have found their new favorite shooter.

I posted some initial impressions over at the ddc, but I gotta say if you're thinking about this one, RENT IT FIRST.

From IGN

Presentation
This game suffers from uber long load times, boring loading screens and menus, pretty blah graphics, horrid collision detections, and a huge neon sign pointing out this is one heck of a sloppy port. 4.0
Graphics
When a game a next generation console game's graphics can be likened to Ghost Recon and Goldeneye, you know something is wrong. 4.0
Sound
Repetitive, annoying sound effects and an almost non-existent soundtrack leaves a lot to be aurally desired. 5.0
Gameplay
It's a standard straightforward shooter. You don't need tactics or stealth to get through this one. 6.0
Lasting Appeal
With plenty of single player and multiplayer options, you could play this game for months to come. Heaven help you. 8.0
OVERALL SCORE (not an average) 5.8

[Chaotic]

wow

thank god i waited..

This game sounds like it sucks and i was under the impression it was gonna be good :o

[mrmp3]

I'll try to go into more detail about this game. I've only played it

for PC, but man once you get to the jungle the missions just suck.

I couldn't stand the jungle missions. As for graphics, I heard the

Xbox port got the shaft in that department and looks very

mediocre. My friend as an ATI 128MB DDR SDRAM Video Card and

boy does it look sweet with everything turned up (antiscropic

filtering trilinear filtering anti-aliasing 6x). But the crap graphics u

guys see in these screen shots are what your gonna get when u

buy this. Personally I'd get the PC version just cause

SOF2files.com has so many damn mod files for this you can easily

squeeze a couple more months out of the game. Multiplayer I'll

admit was fun, but the AK and the M4 Assault Rifle (I think) are

just too damn powerful and too easy to get head shots. The

single player is a stinker that's for sure. Multiplayer is a blast for a

while but eventually becomes just a mediocre online title that

you'll only pick up once in a blue moon. I'd keep the $$$ for

somethin else (maybe MM3 if your into racing) or just pre-

purchase another game. Signing off...
