"The inspiration for the main character of the Soldier of Fortune series is remarkably pleasant in both attitude and appearance. With the recent release of Soldier of Fortune 2, we recently had an opportunity to find out just how John got involved with the projects.
John explains a bit about the origins of the game and how they relate to the recent TV show of the same name.

Is there a patch coming in for SoFII?
Friday, May 31, 2002 by Col.J.P.We´ve taken a peek at Bryan Dube Raven.Plan Update and he gives us plenty of leads for an incoming patch. See for yourselves:
" So, whats happening in the world of Sof2 multiplayer you ask? Well, hopefully this will answer that question. First we would like to address some of the bigger known issues that Raven is actively trying to resolve. These are by no means the only issues we are looking at, but instead the larger issues. When a patch is released a full list of changes made will be released along with it as well as updated mod source.
* INVALID_CDKEY
It seems that some people are having issues playing online due to this message. We are actively looking into this problem and ask that anyone who receives this problem send us and email at sof2mp@ravensoft.com with their ip address and the time of day that it occurred. With that info we can try to figure out why your cdkey is being listed as invalid.
* Linux RMG Issues
We are narrowing down on this issue and hope to have it resolved soon.
* Demo Recording
Seems that you cannot play back a recorded demo right now, this is also top on the list of things to resolve.
* BAN LIMITATIONS
The current banning system has a few flaws which is making it hard to admin friendly fire servers. We are currently working on improving this system.
* CHEAT PROTECTION
Raven will soon be taking measures to help keep sof2 as cheat free as possible, more information on this to come.
Along with bug fixes we will also be adding some new content as well. This content will include the demolition (someone set us up the bomb) gametype which is a nice alternative to infiltration and allow servers to change it up a bit. Along with this gametype we
will also be including a few new Raven made maps, at least one which will support the new demolition gametype. This is the first installment of new content for Sof2 multiplayer from Raven and im sure will be a welcome addition.
As if that werent enough we are also working on integrated voice communications. This should make the process of using voice communication in sof2 a much easier process. More details will be released on this when its becomes available for use.
One more thing that will be added is a MODS menu which will list the installed mods and allow for easy transition to them.
Last I would like to mention the forums and the bug report email address that have been set up. We are actively reading the forums, responding to issues, and writing down suggestions for improvements as well as supporing the quickly growing mod community. The email address (which i mentioned previously) has been setup as a way to send bug reports for multiplayer to us."

SoF II Final Review
Friday, May 31, 2002 by Col.J.P.Mohsin Ali from The Guru of 3D gave a look at Soldier of Fortune II : Double Helix along ten pages, its almost a walktrough, finishing like this:
"Soldier of Fortune 2:Double Helix is a highly recommended game for Fans of the series as well as FPS fans. But the new comers will find it difficult at first but soon they will get on the track. Soldier of fortune is developed by Raven Software, a very well known game developer which not only developed the Soldier of Fortune 1 but it has a great history in FPS games. Activision is the publisher. You won't find big problems in the game but the biggest problem is the difficulty and load times. Quick load is quick when you have got much RAM otherwise quick load will be long-load. All in all SOF2: DH is another great shooter." And giving it an excellent 8.8 score...
