Holy shit, this is a good game.

I suggest you buy it.. or download it.. or whatever you can do to get your hands on this gem

I don't even play games and I love this.

Need for Speed 5 was also pretty good.. but again, I don't play games so I can't really give an objective perspective.

Nah... I don't think this game is that cool...
Considering that Tribes II and Diablo II are going to be rolling over us in the coming months....

I thought the demo was boring...just a standard 1st-person shooters like the other 1001 on the market.

SoF is an exception in the market, trading graphics for gameplay is quite rare these days..

the game's ugly as fuck, but plays better than anything since catacomb abyss. which was the shit.

the main menu interface (and generally all of the non-ingame graphics) are hideous.

and the cut scenes stink actual production wise.

can't comment on music since i've not heard it since i've tried the demo. is the game out yet?

4 words for y'all :

TEAM FUCKING FORTRESS TWO!!!!!!!!!

Oh and ofcourse Tribes2 will kick ass as well... altough i dont have much hope for Halo. 3rd-person shooters generally blow goats.

Once again :

TEAM FORTRESSS TWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

oh and beta7 of CS, and beta8 and bet...

SoF is an interesting game: it's the first violence exploitation game ever. The violence and gore-zones don't serve a purpose besides blood and guts. Shoot a guy in the leg and he hops up and down a couple of times only to start shooting at you again like nothing had happened. Stupid.
The gun models suck major booty, sounds as well (compare to Counter Strike, a FREE modification made by "amateurs").
SoF can be slightly entertaining to vent anger, but it's fundamentally stupid and lame.

Rightee count.

What bothered me the most is that it's marketed as being part of the, currently still fairly small, "tactical" genre - while it doesnt resemble these games at all. Basing your (extremely crappy modeled and wrongly named)weaponry on existing ones doesnt mean your game is 'tactical'. Hell it has a microwave gun...

On the highest difficulty setting i ran through both demo levels in about 30 mins at once. No tactics or stealth needed. Just run'n'gun. Multiplayer isnt any different.

Yea, I got SoF a few days ago too, it's a great game.

Messiah is pretty good too, however quite hard to get used to. Need for Speed 5 was also good

Soldier of Fortune rocks! The GHOUL animation system is good, as not only is it more realistic (if you shoot some dude in the foot, the fact is, he's gonna stop shooting you for a second or two), but it adds variety to the game, and makes enemies harder to target (much harder than a fat KingPin goon).

The fact that there are 6 billion FPS's out there ensures that no new ones will ever be entirely original, but IMHO, SOF does a great job.

And also with the full version, the shot zone statistics (table showing how many times you shot which body parts) is a cool addition...

Sorry, but I'm just a Raven fan.

"if you shoot some dude in the foot, the fact is, he's gonna stop shooting you for a second or two"
Umm, I got to admit I've never tried this IRL, but doesn't a dude sort of STOP shooting, standing and doing whatever they where doing PERMANENTLY after they're shot in the leg? You blow someone's kneecap off with a .45 = he's going down HARD.
All that happens in SoF is that he grips the wound for a couple of secs, then plants his wounded leg firmly on the ground and starts shooting again. Same for any other injury that isn't fatal in SoF.
As I (sorta) mentioned before, SoF would be WAY better if the gore-zones served a tactical purpose besides just being amusing. Now you basically HAVE to kill every enemy unless you hit their weapon exactly; only then do they give up. Would be more realistic if you shot a guy through the shoulder, they would drop the gun and give up and you'd get extra points or something for not being a repressed psychopath on a killing spree.
N'est pas, Milou?
Though I do find SoF theraputic at times. Rage-therapy's fun! Gone through the demo-level a couple of times, making sure all the enemies end up as legless, headless, armless and bloody torsos on the ground. Yuck, does that make me a psycho of sorts?

Dude, Diablo II better be good!!! No, actually it better be the best fucking game I've ever seen!!!

I've been waiting for that mofo for a year. That's how long the big brains at Blizzard needed for stretch time...

Dumbfucks...

Count Zero · Posted: Tue Apr 04, 2000 1:06 am

*Ahem*
Had you read my previous post, you would be aware that I DO play CS, and I love it love it love it. Except it's not as realistic as I'd like.
1) You can just press TAB to see who's alive and who's not. Dumb!
2) When you reload, the amount of bullets you have total decreases by only the amount of bullets you NEED to reload instead of a full clip. (Eg.: Fire one bullet, reload, and you just have one bullet less, instead of an entire clip less.)
Both of these have been in AQ since time began. And hit-locations. And bleeding.
But everything else is cool.

Count,

They assume you put the mag away, rather than discarding it. Not a strange idea, since the amount of ammo you get allready is ridiculously small...

I'm pretty sure if your in a gun fight and you get shot in the leg... you suck it up and shoot back before you get shot in the head too. (course we are talking about soldiers here)

[Shizo] · member Member # Joined: 22 Oct 1999 Posts: 3938

yeash we're talking about real life, not MOVIES where you see some fake bums runnin' away on one foot if they got shot in other ehehe

nein! NEIN

oh ya.. i played CS and other games on 33.6k modem untill i recently got 56k ;p so if your ping over 200 like mine, i'd like to kill you!!!!! HAAAAA

When i still had my lovely ADSL i usually pinged in at 30-60 ms. But now i dont 'ping' anymore at all

*snif*

Withdrawaaaaaaaaaaaallllll!!!

P.s. anyone ever noticed the word 'draw' in withdrawal

muahahahahahahahaha *goes crazy*

Ciph0r · Posted: Tue Apr 04, 2000 2:03 pm

CS is great, unless you have a crappy ping and its 'almost' unplayable. Any joy of joys, ive just finished dloading 45 meg of CS patch and its says its corrupted. Another 4 hrs at 2.0kb/sec then............

Ciph0r · Posted: Tue Apr 04, 2000 2:26 pm

Also you could shoot guns out of ppls hands in Tribes, and Half Life had locational damage. Just not very advanced. It was very easy to code 'real' locational damage effects to it.

Count Zero · Posted: Thu Apr 06, 2000 7:10 am

Spitfire, but it accumulates doesn't it?
If you fire a single bullet from one clip, then, say, 10 from the next one and so on, you should have X clips that are only part full? And once your out of FULL clips, you should start rotating. And you never have to put the excess bullets into another clip. You never actually get a half-full clip until the very end... Besides, you can reload as many times you want (once per shot, if you like), and it's doubtful any SAS member will be lugging around some 20+ clips. I'm nitpicking, I know.

But yeah, I DO get what you mean, and why they did that. It makes the game more playable and a bit more action-orientated when you don't have to count every single bullet you fire...
So they should stop advertising it as "hyper-realistic". Or have I been reading the ads all wrong?

Oh, if your pings suck, I recommend putting up a LAN. CS rules even with only 4 players or so. (I know, I know: easier said than done.)
Ach, another excessive post.
