SoF Demo Baked
by Steve Gibson, Jan 24, 2000 3:41pm PSTHere you go guys, the wait is over. The Soldier of Fortune demo from Raven Software has been released. You can grab it from this page and here is the direct download url. it does weigh in at a hefty 90+ megs so it's gonna be a while. I snagged a bunch of screenshots of the demo for you guys to check out in the mean time. Three of my favorites here here below: Make sure and share what you think about the demo once you play it in the comments.
and here are some more screenshots... [page1] and [page2]
Rick Johnson has a followup .plan update for those of you downloading the demo with this:
Quick Note about Drivers: If you play SoF on 3dfx hardware, you may experience a few driver bugs. On the DX7 Beta drivers, when the screen flashes to indicate you are hit, you may get random colors. Other cards / drivers may experience complete texturing problems (though SoF should disable those features in Gl which cause these problems). NOTE that these bugs are within the 3dfx GL drivers themselves, and are NOT SoF bugs! 3dfx is aware of these bugs, but I'm not sure when they will be able to address them.7:20pm update: I changed the poll on the right side for those of you who played it to rate the game. Secondly and more importantly though here are the mirrors for the download: Stomped , 3DAG , 3DFiles , Fileplanet , and 3DUnlimited. If all those screenshots I took arent enough for you Redwood has a write-up reviewing the SoF demo with some more shots. Remember on the poll you can only vote once, so dont cast a 'didnt download' vote if you plan on downloading it in the future.

Now back to business:
That demo was really intense and I\'ll be buying the game. What do I do now that I\'ve blown up the copter though?
Thanks!

the game itself isn\'t bad i like the excessive carnage the most, but i think we need more. why can\'t we blow off the heads or other limbs off dead bodies? i\'m serious, i want a blatant overuse of violence setting for all us NBK loving people than i\'d definetly buy the game, just make it like a optional cheat code or something. Full violence setting isn\'t enough. bloody footprints when you crush a body with your foot might be nice too...
