Just as a heads up of what's in store for Soldier of Fortune 2 players, here's a sneak peak at what's being done with the upcoming 1.02 patch for SoF II. There's WAY to many updates to list here so I'll just list a few of the highlights, you can click on the "Read More..." link below to see the full list, or just read the post over at the Raven Software bulletin board.

  • Increased the rate of fire on the M60.
  • All pistols are now single fire but can be fired much faster.
  • If crouched when walking over an item it will make no noise when it is picked up.
  • Crouching in mid air no longer gives accuracy bonus. This means that shooting when jumping will be much more inaccurate as initially intended.
  • Can now pick up bomb, case, etc immediately after its dropped when someone dies.
