A Four legged, four Armed, two headed terrorist! - Thanks MadMAxJr archive / submit    Fri · Apr 14 · 2000 SoF Reviews 4/14/00 20:19 PST | Daravon For you guys that can't get enough reviews (I don't know why the hell you would want them - We've been cramming them down your throat, ever since the game came out), SoFFiles.com has a list of all the SoF reviews known to man. You can check it out, here. SoF v1.04 Patch Info 4/14/00 20:12 PST | Daravon Rick Johnson of RavenSoft has posted on the official boards, about what will be included in the upcoming patch. Here... Fixed crash in EAX sound code when playing old sounds Fixed crash in DM when getting killed by standing over a flaming body Fixed crash in DM for Arsenal caused by weapon switching / inventory bug Added a check for invalided saved game files in the menu code Changed the "Error during Initialization" dialog to report the specific error Added view height change for MOF Fixed a bug in detection of remote IP address for systems with multiple IPs Circumvented W2K bug in SetProcessWorkingSetSize(). This call would basically not allow various GL implementations to initialize under W2K. Removed the call to that function. Re-organized CD copy protection Made it so that the winsock error WSAECONNRESET doesn't drop you to the console during DM server browsing Fixed problem where people had difficulty connecting to servers Fixed an issue with spectator mode Fixed an overflow issue with demo playback Fixed CTF issue with force join Added "ainame" worldspawn over-ride to specify the enemy set for user mods Added a "-nostart" command line option, so that dedicated servers won't automatically start dedicated.cfg Added GameSpy server registration support Fixed irqctf1 where players could get in bad spots Also included in this version is a DLL from Creative Labs. This emulates EAX2.0 on any card that supports EAX1.0. This would include SB PCI cards, Vortex2 cards, and older Sensura based cards. To install this feature, run the batch file in the SoF directory called "installeax.bat" He also makes mention that the existing Raven servers are using the latest code. So hold onto your hats, folks.. It's coming soon! If you want to take a look at the thread, you can find it, here.

I think this sounds good. Brian Raffel's .plan. John Mullins is at Raven Today! We are in the process of proposing SOF2 and wanted John's input on the mission/weapons etc. If you have any solid suggestions for SOF2 send us an email. Booyah! So, maybe SoF2 is a reality? We'll see! SoF Graphics Info 4/13/00 17:19 PST | MadMaxJr In the Trenches has published a new article regarding graphics cards written by John Scott from Raven Software. The whole document is being focused on the graphics cards, tweakings & resoultions for the Soldier of Fortune. The direct URL for the article is at: http://trenches.igg.net/projects/columns/john.shtml Soldier of Fortune 2 4/13/00 14:49 PST | Daravon X9 of ClanWorld.org has fired off two questions to Kenn Hoekstra, regarding add-ons for SoF, and the possibility of Soldier of Fortune 2.

It looks real promising. You can check it out, here! deCyber SoF 4/12/00 15:43 PST | Daravon The guys at deCyber have created another wallpaper for SoF fans and I think this one is thebest so far, but you be the judge. It's (again) created by X9. You can check it out, here. They also need new mappers on deCyber SoF. Everyone that knows our other sites they do maps but at the moment, I think the community is a bit slow. So with a little help from you guys, hopefully they can soon start releasing new maps soon. SoF QuickFAQ 4/12/00 14:36 PST | Zool Over at Soldier of Fortune.com, a new feature called QuickFaq has popped up, where they answer the most frequently asked walkthrough questions. This is for people who are too lazy to actually read through the walkthroughs :) BTW, Be sure to check out our very own progressing walkthrough, more to come with that as well. Quick SoF Review 4/12/00 14:20 PST | Zool I was sent along this article that was in the UK Times newspaper, in an article called 'Interface'. They basically review the gore that's in the game. You can take a look at it here. Thanks goes out to Craig, for scanning the article in.    Tue · Apr 11 · 2000 New SoF Site 4/11/00 20:14 PST | Zool A new site dedicated to player SoF demos and configs is up. You can check it out here. The site is not yet 100% complete but be sure to check back there for configs you can obtain to enhance your l33t skillz. And you'll also be able to download and view other people's game demos. Operation Overlord Mod 4/11/00 19:58 PST | Zool A new mod called Operation Overlord has joined the SoF community. The mod is said to be a mix of quake's Team Fortress with Unreal Tournament's Assault. Heres a tidbit: "Operation Overlord is a Team Based Multiplayer Mod for Soldier of Fortune. Operation Overlord is intense combat that requires reliance on team members to carry out jobs they are assigned to do. It's not capture the flag though, but mission based play like Assault for Unreal Tournament. One team Attacks and the other Defends. After one round, teams are switched, defenders attack, attackers defend. There is no set time limit, so a beach invasion may become a stalemate and last for an hour or so, until the team utilizes the in-game map feature and the captain places waypoints and mission objectives for individual members. To enhance the game we have added classes to the game. You can now choose from one of the 8 classes, each with special abilities and weaponry." Sounds awesome! They are also looking for people willing to help out on the mod, check it out. GoneGold Quick Take 4/11/00 16:34 PST | Daravon The guys over at GoneGold have put up a "Quick Take" of Soldier of Fortune. You can go take a look at it, here. GameGirlz Interview w/Kenn Hoekstra 4/11/00 16:28 PST | Daravon The grrls over at GameGirlz have held an interview with Kenn Hoekstra. It's not a technical interview, so be warned. You can check it out, here. AGN3D Interview w/Eric Biessman 4/11/00 16:24 PST | Daravon Jeremy Allford over at AGN3D talked to Eric Biessman regarding Soldier of Fortune. They talk a little about the upcoming patch, for SoF. You can check it out, here.

The second script cycles through the other cheats, god, noclip, extra ammo, etc. There is also a matrix mode that uses the matrix # command that's part of script #2. Go check it out. Hiring @ GameSpy Industries 4/11/00 16:19 PST | Daravon GameSpy Industries is hiring for a bunch of open positions listed on their jobs page. Check it out!    Mon · Apr 10 · 2000 TARGETMAN Needs Help 4/10/00 9:49 PST | Wampey Our hosted site, TARGETMAN, still is in need of help. You can check out his news page or look right below. Here's what his news page says: Okay I admit that its been stark around here, but I am sorting things out slowly. First off thank you to the 7 mappers who have joined the ranks, and thats the trouble, we're currently a team full of mappers. I desperatly need some coders to get the ball rolling, interested? Contact me (see menu bar). Just to say, the team is still open, we need coder and modellers.

Hardware/Software Lighting 4/10/00 19:05 PST | Daravon The Reverend, over at VoodooExtreme has put up an article, showing the differences between hardware and software lighting, in Soldier of Fortune. You can go check it, here. SoF Doing it Again 4/10/00 15:49 PST | MadMaxJr The guys at GameSpy claim SoF the greatest game since Christmas. We gotta hand it to them. They're right. :) Look here. GamePig SoF Review 4/10/00 15:43 PST | Daravon The guys over at GamePig have whipped up a review for you guys, along with a.. Er.. Crotchshot gallery. You can check it all out, here. BFG10K Reviews SoF 4/10/00 9:36 PST | Wampey The folks at BFG10K.com have posted their thoughts on Soldier of Fortune. Unlike many reviews, they did it like a map review. The overall grade for SoF was 9/10. You can check it here.    Sun · Apr 9 · 2000 SoF Walkthroughs Update 4/9/00 16:43 PST | Daravon Alright folks, we've done the second portion of our walkthroughs for SoF, going over the Siberia levels! Complete with pictures, and other in-depth stuff. You can check them out here. Win Games! Giveaway 4/9/00 22:46 PST | Daravon Win Games! is proud to announce its latest giveaway, Soldier of Fortune! They have the copies purchased and ready to be shipped, all they need are some winners! This contest will be running for a week, April 9th - April 16th, and there are no rules or regulations! So what are you waiting for?! Go! NOW!! SoF Review @ MaximumPain 4/9/00 19:45 PST | Daravon The guys over at MaximumPain have put up an SoF review. Here's a bit. SOF is one to not pass up, if you loved Quake II you will not put Solider of Fortune down for quite some time! A score of 9/10 can't be wrong! Go check it out. SoF Review @ Quantum9 4/9/00 17:18 PST | Daravon The guys over at Quantum9 have also pumped out a review. Here... If and when there is a sequel made to SoF (see ending), I'm hoping Raven will take the time to code in some better AI, and maybe (it wouldn't hurt) throw in a good story. Other than that, the game really does stand tall. You can catch the rest, here. SoF Review @ GameSpot Australia 4/9/00 17:13 PST | Daravon The folks over at GameSpot Australia have put up a review. Here's a bit of it. Soldier of Fortune is, for the most part, an intense depiction of the atmosphere and visceral components of combat. In this capacity it delivers handsomely, and makes an exceptional multiplayer game - especially on the realistic setting, which incorporates a 'fatigue meter', that limits your aerobic endurance. The cheesy story, slightly dated graphics engine and lazy artificial intelligence in the single-player component put disappointing scratches in this otherwise polished product. There you have it, kids. You can go take a look at it, here. What If... 4/9/00 17:06 PST | Daravon SOF.net has introduced a new column called What If... It's like the sort of entertainment value you get from reading Top Tens and Mailbags. It offers funny scenes of depiction by using things from SoF such as this week's "What If John Mullins...". Go here to check it out! Thanks goes out to twisted, for the heads up.    Sat · Apr 8 · 2000 SoF Review @ Bloodshot 4/8/00 21:22 PST | Daravon Cruciform, over at Bloodshot, has put up another review of SoF. Here's a bit. An option for limited saves really cranked up the stress level for me in the harder levels, as hitting quicksave every two minutes is an old habit for me. Not having unlimited saves in the configuration I chose to play made for some extremely tense moments, counting ammo, considering how many cover areas there were between location A and B, and whether there was a sniper on the balcony overhead or a dog pacing back and forth on the other side of those crates. Go take a look. SoF Review @ The Oxygen Tank 4/8/00 12:43 PST | Daravon Ben Trook over at The Oxygen Tank, has just informed us about another SoF review. 95% can't be wrong. Here's a bit of it. As far as the overall value of Soldier of Fortune goes, the single player missions deliver roughly 30+ hours of gameplay (with no cheats of course), which is over a buck and half for each hour you play the game. That probably doesn't sound that good, but when combined with endless hours of fast paced multiplayer it's not that bad at all. And trust me, Raven didn't leave the multiplayer aspect dry. Although the multiplayer is a bit unbalanced to me (too many hitscan weapons for the fast player speed), I did enjoy it. You have about 20 maps to choose from, along with 5 different gameplay modes: Standard, CTF, Arsenal, and Realistic. Aresenal has you competing to be the first person to frag someone with each of the six weapons, and Realistic takes less damage to kill an opponent. Overall, Soldier of Fortune gives plenty of bang for your buck. There you have it, kids. Go check it out. Multiplayer Issues 4/8/00 10:00 PST | Daravon Rick Johnson of RavenSoft has addressed the problems of multiplayer, on the official forums. Here's what he had to say. If you had extreme trouble connecting to MP servers (but had no problem with the demo), it appears that I've corrected the problem (with the people that have tested it so far). This will be included in the first patch, sometime this weekend. There you have it, kids. SoF Review @ TeleFragged 4/8/00 9:57 PST | Daravon The guys over at TeleFragged have put up a review of SoF. Here's a bit of it. One question most people ask is - 'Is it as good as Half-Life?' For single player I would have to answer would be a resounding YES! It serves up a deep story, with neat and well thought through touches along the way. But what it does offer over Half-Life is - action, with a capital 'A'. SoF thows it at you by the spade load, and doesn't ease off at any point. You can feel yourself psychically ducking down when people are shooting ten ton of lead at you, and you are running for cover fumbling for the right weapon. Like Half-Life, SoF is a like a conglomeration of all the best scenes for the best action movies around, thrown into a large cooking pot, with seasoning added by Raven. Lookin' good. Check it out. SoF Review @ GamersCentral 4/8/00 8:52 PST | Daravon Chaos, over at GamersCentral, has put up a review of SoF. Two thumbs up can't be wrong. Here's a bit of it. By hiring in the help of skilled specialists like John Mullins for in-game events and the House of Moves for all the motion capturing instead of trying to figure it out themselves, Raven Software has once again proven that they are experienced specialists when it comes to making computer games. Shooter of the year, Soldier of Fortune be thy name. Looks good. Check it out.    Fri · Apr 7 · 2000 3-D Unlimited Review 4/7/00 21:52 PST | Zool Tired of reviews yet? Well heres another! 3D Unlimited has posted their review, scoring SoF a 96% along with thier Editors choice award! Here's a snippet: What Raven has done here is something spectacular: they have taken the best elements from previous FPS games, and combined them into one awesome adventure. This game features awesome weapons from real-life and one or two fictitious weapons and places them in a real-world situation, so you don’t have just go around blowing up anything in sight, it makes you think. If you want a game with great action, graphics, sound, and just about anything else you want, Soldier of Fortune is our pick. I strongly suggest buying Soldier of Fortune, as you won’t regret it. . Read the rest of it here! The Mailbag 4/7/00 18:51 PST | Daravon Alright, kids.. Our first mailbag is in, and it's good stuff! Our resident mailbag guy talks about ethics, toilet paper, fat aggression, and a load of other stuff! You can check it out, here. SoF Maplists 4/7/00 18:05 PST | Daravon John Scott over at Raven, has updated his .plan, about maplists. Here's what he had to say. A word on maplists in Sof. The four used in the released version are at - http://www2.ravensoft.com/users/jscott/sof/ravdm.lst http://www2.ravensoft.com/users/jscott/sof/ravrl.lst http://www2.ravensoft.com/users/jscott/sof/ravctf.lst http://www2.ravensoft.com/users/jscott/sof/ravassn.lst It should be quite easy to work out how to create one of your own =) If you put them in "user/maplists", then the menus will auto detect them and make them selectable. The ones in the user folder will override the ones in the pak file. The reason we added a user folder is that we at Raven use one exe on a network drive, and the net drive was getting clogged up with everyones savegames and screenshots. It also means that the base folder holds nothing but Raven made stuff, making patching easier. Furthermore, you can set this to whatever you want on the command line. If there is anyone else who uses your machine, just setup two shortcuts like this sof.exe -user father sof.exe -user son ...and all settings, savegames and demos will go to different folders depending on which shortcut you run. There you have it, folks. FragMag Stuff 4/7/00 15:48 PST | Daravon We had this up a month ago or so, but the guys over at FragMag have scored an interview with John Mullins, this month. So you guys might want to pick up the magazine. They're also holding a tournament of 15 minute SoF Demo DMs, with twenty copies of SoF up for grabs. For more details, go check out their site, here. Stomped SoF Review 4/7/00 15:40 PST | Daravon Sean "Redwood" Martin over at Stomped has put up a real long review of SoF. He gives it a 90%, so it's all good. Here's a bit of it. So it comes down to this. Do I recommend getting this game? You bet I do! If nothing else, for the fun single player movie-style action. Don't even let the so-so ending disappoint you, because plenty of great games have not had the best of endings. It is the rest of the game that you will remember anyway. I did not run into any bugs to speak of. I commend Raven/Activision for good testing and an excellent product. Is it truly ground breaking? No, but it reaches the goal of what they were shooting for and is entertaining. That is what it is all about. Cool. Go check it out. SoF Availibility Down Under 4/7/00 7:48 PST | Daravon Borg, over at the Australian based SoF Command has updated us on the SoF release in Australia. Although its true the distrubtor is no longer Dataflow and Jack of all Games now have the gig, Activision has assured us that SoF will be on shelves in Aussie stores this coming Wednesday, 12th of April. Thanks, Borg! I love you! GamePlex SoF Review 4/7/00 7:45 PST | Daravon Jovan of GamePlex has just told me about an SoF review for you Swiss guys. Since I can't read the stuff, I'm lost on it. But Jovan tells me that they gave SoF their highest rating ever. Rock on! If you know how to read it, go take a look.    Thu · Apr 6 · 2000 The Casualties 4/6/00 22:47 PST | Daravon Alright, folks. We found it a lot easier to cram all our creative content into one section, so it'll be called, The Casualties. You can find your standard stuff there, like The Hooded Terrorist, and The Top Ten. But stick around. We've got a bunch of new stuff coming soon. How do Flash movies sound? Starring John Mullins? Good? I think so. :) Honest3D SoF Review 4/6/00 21:19 PST | Daravon Another review for you guys to sift through. Ryan, over at Honest3D, has just put up a review of SoF. You can go check it out, here. New Top Ten 4/6/00 18:13 PST | Daravon Hey, kids. Another Top Ten for you to enjoy. I'm not going to spoil it for you, so you can take a look at it here. A big thanks goes out to FatBoyBaker, for the submission. If you guys have Top Ten ideas of your own, why don't you send them in to us? 3D Map Realm's SoF Review 4/6/00 16:51 PST | Daravon eXodus, over at 3DMR, has informed us about a review that they have put up, on SoF. Here's a tidbit. If the gameplay in SoF is great, then the graphics are unbelievable. I honestly don't see the Quake 2 engine underneath this game. The closest (and most welcome) resemblance is in the way your character moves around. The levels themselves will simply blow you away in terms of variety, craftsmanship and over all looks. Each level's atmosphere is very different from the previous level. In the 3 part Kosovo set for example, you feel like you're in Kosovo the whole time, yet each of the 3 parts is a distinctly different locale with a new textures set. I think it sounds good, don't you? Check it out, baby. The Gamer's World Contest 4/6/00 16:06 PST | Daravon It looks like The Gamer's World is holding a contest, where you can win a copy of SoF. If you're interested, go take a look. GameCenter's SoF Review 4/6/00 16:04 PST | Daravon Finally, the folks over at GameCenter have also put out a review of SoF. Here's some of it. Soldier of Fortune doesn't redefine the action genre, but it's a damn fine game that first-person shooter fans should definitely purchase. With its striking visuals, intense violence, and outstanding single-player gaming, this game offers one of the best ways to visit military hot spots without the risk of coming home in a body bag. Oh, yeah. Go take a look at it. GameSurge SoF Review 4/6/00 16:01 PST | Daravon The guys at GameSurge also put out a review of SoF. Here's a bit of it. Soldier of Fortune is a great game for any fan of the FPS genre. While it doesn't bring any major new innovations or concepts to the table, what it does it does well. Gameplay is fast, furious, and fun, and you will not get bored quickly. Go check it out. PC Arena SoF Review 4/6/00 15:58 PST | Daravon The guys over at PC Arena have pumped out a review of SoF, and here's what they have to say. Soldier of Fortune is one rock solid action game, and one of the best first person shooters ever. It may not grab a hold of you like Half Life, but even that comparison isn't fair. SOF should stand on its own as one of the coolest action games ever created. I can now relive my days fantasizing about being a G.I. Joe, or Rambo. It may be violent, gruesome, a bit slim on the story, and contain nothing truly original, but it's one hell of a ride through and through. Booyah! 4.5 out of 5 can't be wrong! Go check it out, here! GA-Source Interview w/Kenn Hoekstra 4/6/00 15:54 PST | Daravon The guys over at GS-Source have landed an interview with Raven's Kenn Hoekstra. They talk about what he would have liked to add to SoF, among other things. Here's a bit. Q: Now that SoF has been released, were there any features that you wanted to implement but just didn't have the time? A: Weapon mods (silencers, scopes, tripods etc.) would have been cool to add. Level of detail and Skeletal were also high on our list. I also would have liked to see co-op support, but the nature of our story and the number of scripted sequences in the game would have made co-op impossible to adequately QA. You can never do "everything" you want to do in a game, but these are a few that I would have liked to have seen... *cough* SoF2 *cough*    Wed · Apr 5 · 2000 SoF Awards 4/5/00 19:03 PST | Daravon I never noticed this until now, but in Kenn Hoekstra's .plan, it makes mention of a bunch of awards that SoF has won. Personally, I think that Damage Gaming award looks kind of freaky. You can go check them out, here. Soldieroffortune.net 4/5/00 18:11 PST | Daravon Alright, folks. After a brief hiatus, Soldieroffortune.net is back online, with a new, badass design and layout! Pretty schnazzy. Go check them out. Thanks goes out to StarMon2000, for the heads up. MadLanGamers LAN Party w/Keith Fuller 4/5/00 15:54 PST | Daravon Kenn just told us that the MadLanGamers are having a LAN Party at the Dane County Expo Center in Madison, Wisconsin and their special guest of honor is Raven programmer Keith Fuller. He will be signing Soldier of Fortune copies and materials and answering any questions people have about the game. Go there, for details. GameSpy SoF Review 4/5/00 15:45 PST | Daravon Hey, folks. I'd like to apologize for misposting the GameSpy review of SoF, yesterday. By mistake, I had posted the link up for the second portion of the review, ignoring the first. My apologies go out to Juan Golbez of GSI. Anyway, you can catch the full review, here. SoF Patch Info 4/5/00 15:26 PST | Zool Over at the offical SoF forum, Rick Johnson smacked up a post about the first patch they're working on. Here's what the patch will straighten up: WSAECONNRESET when browsing for servers W2K and game not initializing (i.e. needing non-admin privledges) Server stability (fixes 2 DM crashes) EAX crash bug Other minor issues The patch should be available this weekend. He also mentions a second patch in the near future which makes way for a "pure server". They will also release the source code! SoF Gift Cards 4/5/00 14:50 PST | Wampey Haven't you always wanted to send gift cards with people getting shot away on it? Now you can! G3N.com has put up a SoF Gift Card Maker which you can fill out and send to your friends! Try it! If you need a email address to use this one: wampey@planetsoldieroffortune.com German Review 4/5/00 14:46 PST | Wampey Pcplayer.de has put a review up this time in German. Again, I can't read German, so I can't tell you much about it. They gave it a 80% rating though. That's not bad. You can check it out here. Belgian SoF Review 4/5/00 14:41 PST | Wampey One of Belgiums biggest gaming sites, The Gaming Shrimp (I think), has posted their thoughts about SoF in Dutch. I'd say it was a good read, but I don't know Dutch =). They did give it a 88 of out 100, though! You can see the review here. Another Review 4/5/00 12:34 PST | Wampey Game-Revolution has put up it's thoughts on SoF. In some ways, I wonder about the statements it makes (Comparing it to Half-Life), but it is a good read. You can read it here. Here's a clip: While it really is just a lot of shooting in a variety of environments with a variety of unique set-ups, it's fun. This is Saving Private Ryan's D-Day scene without feeling sorry for anyone. All around good graphics and sound, excellent architecture and art direction, and omnipresent believability combine to create a totally satisfying, if somewhat brief single player experience. l Thanks goes to the folks at S-o-F.com for the heads up! Review @ Well-Rounded.com 4/5/00 12:30 PST | Wampey Well Rounded has posted its thoughts of Soldier of Fortune. Though it doesn't give any rating that I can see, here is their conclusion statement: Overall, Soldier of Fortune is an exciting and stable first-person shooter, with fast-paced gameplay, an engrossing storyline, and enough guns, guts and testosterone to please any hard-core action fan. Grab this one quick! You can check it out here. And if you don't have the game, grab it quick!
