SoF2 Diary

It's Raven. Bring it on.

I can't wait for this game.

Maybe it's just me, but wouldn't the weapon sounds in games sound better if they sampled the actual thing? For instance, a lot of the CS weapons DESPERATELY need better sounds; the AK47 sounds like it was recorded from a movie, and a lot of the reload sequences use the same sounds (for instance, the Aug uses almost the same reload sounds as the P90, MAC10, and UMP45).

Raven is using a real mercenary for gameplay consultation; why can't game developers unite with gunmakers or the military to sample better sounds?

I'm looking forward to SoF2. But there is something that I think a lot of people aren't realizing (even a lot of my friends needed to be set straight on this). So many people loved SoF because the Ghoul Engine allowed you to brutally dismember people by shooting off body parts (ya ya I know they're toning it down a bit for the sequel). What a lot of people aren't realizing is that the Q3A engine isn't made for this, and there is going to be a lot of things different about SoF2 that 5/10 people haven't realized.

The Q3A engine wasn't made for the sort of action that the original SoF displayed.

Personally, I don't really care about that; as long as they make a game that's just as fun as the original, I'll be happy, but I think they should have modified the original engine and used it instead of the Q3A one. I just don't think it's gonna have the "feel" of SoF.

Just my $.02 :)

What locations is this game supposed to take place in? I remember a CGW review of SOF1 that blasted the game, accusing them of being "racist", because all you did was kill "people of color", and what few WHITE enemies there were, are either hidden by masks or covered with tattoos.

That's a very nicely modelled M4.
