Voodoo Extreme have just confirmed that SOF II has been set back once again and this time until late MAY at least. Raven introducing the Multiplayer aspect of the game so late and making the random game generator work properly has caused the delay aparantly.
Its getting to be a new and very annoying trend that PC developers seem to be getting into these days. Ok, bugs need ironing out in games, features need to be tweaked, final clean ups of code and so on but the Multiplayer version of SOF II could have been implimented in a patch after its initial release surely?.
I recall at the start of 2001 thinking that by summer that year I'd be playing the likes of Unreal II/SOF II/MOHAA/Hidden And Dangerous II. Now over a year on, we're still no closer to getting our hands on any of them (okay MOHAA is not too far away but its still been a very long haul).
If this trend does infact continue throughout the year with all the big titles constantly taking another step backwards from release then 2002 may not turn out to be so great afterall. Roll on 2003 I guess.

SOF = Soldier of Fortune, a great game that was released on the PC a few years ago. Its damn violent, but that adds to the realism of the game. For example, you can shoot their leg off, killing them. You can then proceed to shoot all their limbs off, blast their head off and shoot their torso in half. Its fun, and silly enough to never influence you. Soldier of Fortune 2 looks great from the clips I've seen and I can't wait to get my hands on it. You should get SOF - you can get it for £10 as a Special Edition version, which is well worth the money.

what is SOF?
