One of my favorite shooters that still offers more then some of the newer shooters
Pros-
#1.The multiplayer is really fun
#2.A few really cool maps
#3.Many weapons to choose from.Throwing knives at people is awesome
#4.Some cool music and sounds
#5.Many game types to choose from.I like infiltration and capture the flag the most
#6.This game is all about gore.You can shoot someones arm,leg and even their head off
#7.It works on Windows Vista with no problem
#8.Great gameplay
Cons-
#1.I didn't like single player.My review is based on multiplayer only
#2.All the characters look different but they really are all the same
#3.Some of the maps suck
#4.Graphics look old but it was released in 2002
#5.The bots on servers suck.Go to a server with no bots
#6.No voice chat.This game came out before voice chat was common
#7.You have to update punkbuster yourself.I know how to do this so send me a message if you don't know how
The Bottom Line -
Soldier of Fortune II: Gold was my favorite shooter for years and years.It is still in my top 5 favorite shooters
I have still not seen another shooter that has throwing knives.Many newer shooters could learn from the multiplayer gameplay in SOF2
This game compares to Counter Strike but I like SOF2 more
I definitely suggest you buy this game.Make sure you buy the gold edition when you do
The game costs around $20 used.I hope they put it on steam one day
Play infiltration and capture the flag and try all the maps out
My 2 cents
