In addition to a massive single player campaign and the revolutionary random mission generator, Activision, Inc. and Raven Software’s Soldier of Fortune® II: Double Helix for the PC will now ship with Free For All and Team Deathmatch multiplayer modes. In Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix players assume the role of John Mullins, a military consultant working for a covert organisation known only as the shop. As Mullins, players will travel around the globe to stop a criminal conspiracy from terrorising the world with a weapon of mass destruction. Soldier of Fortune is rated MA15+ for animated blood and violence by the Office of Film and Literature Classification. The sequel, Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix has not yet been rated.
Multiplayer mode in Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix features over 100 unique model/skin combinations so players can pick the perfect avatar, and with 12 - 14 in-view weapons the action is guaranteed to be fast and furious. Additionally, Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix’s multiplayer code is designed to be easily modified by the mod community.
Built off the latest Quake III: Team Arena code base and enhanced with GHOUL 2 technology, Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix brings the grittiness of combat to the PC gaming with vivid damage modeling and animations, accurate reproductions of actual weapons and missions taken from around the globe including Prague, Colombia, Hong Kong and Kamchatka.
Throughout the game, players must tackle a wide-range of scenarios including hostage rescue and intelligence gathering, to search-and-destroy. Level design in Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix is flexible enough to allow for multiple styles of play. Gamers can “hit ‘em hard” with a frontal assault or use stealth weapons for a subtle approach.
Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix will ship with a violence lock that enables players to filter out most of the mature graphics and audio in the game.
