Soldier of Fortune Screenshots

Soldier of Fortune was well received at this year's E3 (although it was only shown behind closed doors), but until only a few days ago, news about the game's progress was almost nonexistent. Recently, however, a few RavenSoft designers have been updating plan files with news of an upcoming OEM demo of the first-person shooter, and we thought that now would be the perfect time to showcase a couple of Soldier of Fortune screenshots.

For those who don't know, Soldier of Fortune uses an enhanced Quake II engine that renders at 32-bit color depths. It places players in the shoes of John Mullins, a mercenary hired by the government to track down terrorist activity across the globe. Soldier of Fortune uses a mix of licensed, prototype, and fictional weaponry - and best of all, it has character models with 26 different hit-specific locations for ultra-realistic reactions and movement.

Soldier of Fortune is scheduled for a fall/winter 2000 release, but a demo will be bundled with the Razor Boomslang mouse from Karna, which should be available by mid-November. In the meantime, however, take a look at the pair of brand-new screenshots we managed to get a hold of.
