Raven programmer Jake Simpson updated his .plan file with the word that the Gold version of Soldier of Fortune has gone gold. This version adds extra multiplayer options to the game, and will be available as retail product but also as free upgrade for current Soldier of Fortune owners. There are two new deathmatch modes, bots, new models and skins, several new levels (Gamespy has a list) and also some bug fixes. Jake mentions the download should be available when the retail hits stores. Here's two screenshots that we got back in July [shot 1, shot 2]. There are also 48 screenshots on Gamespy.

Racist SOF?

by Maarten Goldstein Aug 31, 2000 1:40pm CST tags: Soldier of Fortune
Thanks to Phoebus for directing us to this news story on FGNOnline, where someone had too much time on their hands and started looking for racist subtext in Raven's Soldier of Fortune. Apparently, in the Iraqi missions you don't get punished for killing civilians, unlike in the New York subway mission. An amusing quote from someone at the Jordon Ambassy in London, who is head of the Iraqi Interest Section

"It shows the mentality of the American gung-ho, the cowboy, that he's always winning. It's reminiscent of the old movies, with the white guy John Wayne always beating the black guys, who are always hoodlums and thieves."

Activision In Court

by Steve Gibson Aug 12, 2000 2:26pm CST tags: Activision, Soldier of Fortune
Most of you guys probably remember Soldier Of Fortune getting screwed up in Canada with an x-rating (Keeping anyone under 18 from being able to get the game) Well hairytesticles sent in this link with word that Activision is filing an appeal in court instead of just rolling over and taking it.

"The action of the Film Classification board undermines consumers' rights of freedom and choice of expression and sets a precedent for government censorship," the California-based Activision said in a statement released yesterday.
