Soldier of Fortune 2 1.02 Patch

by Maarten Goldstein, Sep 23, 2002 4:38pm PDT

As promised, Raven has released a new patch for Soldier of Fortune 2, updating the game from version 1.01 to version 1.02. Punkbuster anti-cheat support is now included, and there are many weapons/gameplay changes and additions and even a few new maps (mp_kam4, mp_col2, mp_hos2, mp_pra2). It's a 20mb download, grab it from FileShack. If you run a Linux server, you can get a new dedicated server build here.

my computer, which has never frozen up in the month i've had sof2 with the 1.01 patch, is now freezing up once a while in the middle of a game with this new patch. It happens when i begin to spec someone, i think. It has happened several times now. Anyone know what could be the problem?

Impressions:

1) The Hospital and Kamchatka maps may be too complicated for frequent play. The hospital map is especially nuts. I spent well over 30 minutes in a self-created LAN server exploring the map, with only a hazy knowledge of the layout. It is REALLY hard to learn. Kam4 is a bit better, but still pretty maze-like.

2) On the other hand, Col2 and Pra2 show some definite promise. Definitely impressed with those two because they're balanced, have multiple routes and aren't overly complex.

3) Like the gameplay tweaks (etc.) so far, although it's tough to detect some items. The pistols do fire faster, and the MP5 is now the accuracy whore that it was supposed to be in the first place (IMHO).

4) The Silver Talon is mostly, I think, for show. Call it the Desert Eagle junior.

5) The new weapon, the Sig551, is an interesting mix that should appeal to the sniper guys who want some rifle capabilities. Although it recoils too much for my tastes, it does have a 3x scope and can be used both in scoped and non-scoped modes. Just the right gun for SOF2.

6) PB is all but invisible (a good thing).

Overall: B+ patch, better than v1.01. I'll have to see how these maps are balanced before passing a "final judgement." :=p

me: well i have the thermal goggles and i can see even the smallest part of a player model all the way out the the clipping zone
this guy: yeah but you can't see anything else

I must admit, this patch kicks ass. The SIG and the new pistol kick ass. The way they reworked the m60 was fine work indeed. That gun is actually useful now. The MP5 changes are welcome as well. All of the new maps are very impressive and well planned out. I like that you can spectate via first-person now. It might be have all the cool spectating options as CS but its a step in the right direction. The new player count totals on the HUD are kick ass as well. I haven't had a chance to mess with the punkbuster stuff as it doesn't appear to be working right with the linux server but from reading the instructions, theres some cool shit you can do. Also the banning by cdkey is much needed. All in all, this is a damn good patch and if you uninstalled SOF2, I suggest you reinstall it and give it another go.

Thanks for relelasing the patch, Raven! :D I cannot WAIT to try the new maps. I think one of the keys to CS getting popular was that the game constantly had new maps coming out, weapons changes, and was (is) pretty dynamic. I hope the same can hold for SoF2, but I get the feeling of, "this is it for a while." Any comments?
