A Novelty Sized Update.      First off, the map section has been re-ordered to support the demolition, and kill the man with the ball game types. It also now has a place for maps that are compatible with all versions. Second, the only skins offered here now, are player skins, because they are by far the most popular. Updates: - 9 New maps - 4 New player skins.

No Fog Server!      jolt.co.uk, Europe's largest independent online gaming network, have added a NO FOG 20 player CTF server: 195.149.21.85:20109 To be able to use the NO FOG server you need to grab a file off www.sof2.jolt.co.uk or from http://flash.to/sof2/. Some of the maps look amazing...but there is a trade off...you will suffer a huge drop in Frames Per Second and therefore should only use the NO FOG server if you have an UBER gaming rig. For more info. visit www.sof2.jolt.co.uk or http://flash.to/sof2/

Want to Learn How to Map?      This will give any n00b sof II mappers a GREAT chance to learn how to use the radient mapping tool for sof II. Here is what the site emailed me. "Inside Soldier of Fortune (http://www.insidesof.com) has launched a new project called : "Welcome to the Real World". In this project people can start building a real life environment from scratch. Every week we will show the next step on how to proceed in the creation of a multiplayer map. Mapping experience is not required, everything will be explained with tutorials and extra info on how to complete the next step. In the beginning the progress will be slow, since we want to give people that are on a holiday or are planning a holiday the possibility to catch up. Experienced mappers are invited as well, the progress won't be that fast, and creating the map should not mess up the schedule of their other maps/mods."
