I am so playing this game. It looks like a lot of fun, if only for the flying limbs.

I didn't realize one bullet can lop an arm off.

^ this will probably be out for PC, ratings arent as big of a deal as they are for consoles.

also the AI is probably set to easy or something, probably godmode status as well just for the demo..

Looks pretty interesting...

@brian:
They don't like Manhunt 2 because its sadistic...apparently being in a war where you'll have weaponry far superior to your opponents isn't considered sadistic though..go figure

Is anyone else unimpressed? It's violent for the sake of violence... if the game itself doesn't do anything else new, then I could care less. Flying body parts have been around since explosive firearms in video games.

HAY LOOK IT'S A SHINY DESATURATED GAME WHERE YOU SHOOT GUYZ!

Seriously, I don't know how they managed to make a jungle look so bland. And the enemies are brilliantly charging straight at you with their RANGED WEAPONS, whilst you walk through a ladder.

@icarus: When I read "Brilliant!" in your comment, I imagined those guys from the Guinness beer commercials.

on topic: This game looks silly, and a little sickening. But obviously that's the point. Mission accomplished.

Ok guys, over the top gore is the basis of this series, now on its 3rd installment. The gameplay was always generic, the graphics always avaerage, but the gore was awesome. Same deal here. Nothing to get upset about. Move along.

The multiplayer better be kickass just like in SOF 2.

I've got to admit, the violence-level does seem a bit over the top.

Having said that, if the multiplayer is good, I might very well pick this up. I recall really enjoying the multiplayer in SoF II; I don't think I ever even played the single-player game.

When I think of next gen gore, I think Dead Island. Soldier of Fortune 3 will have to work harder than THAT to impress me. Unreal 1 had that level of gore.

those limbs are so easily removed...

Hi, I can pretty much guarantee that I've played the most SoF2 in here, but it took me like a year or two before even trying the singleplayer which was a journey (lasting a grand total of 10 minutes or so) ending up only in the complete understanding of why that game never became huge. I might not have even tried the multiplayer if the first thing I played - the beta/demo - was singleplayer.

This video looks kind of the same... I think that, unless they mess something up worse than in SoF2 and if there is an equal or better antilag code + good anticheat support (god help them if the SoF2 cheat programmers move on...) it could be great fun as it really looks like a true sequel in the same vein with just hotter graphics and, I assume, some new stuff.

Assuming we'll get it for PC (I admit, I haven't followed this very closely) I just wish they'd (as in; almost every trailer of any FPS game ever) **** off with playing like skilless idiots not in the slightest showcasing how cool the game will look if you play with any in-game awareness, clever moves and good (as in visually pleasing - therefore also fairly accurate) aim. I'm starting a new sentence here when mentioning the obvious joypad movement/aiming because I don't at all want to insult anyone thinking I'm calling them skilles idiots, but almost any decent keyboard and mouse player cringes when seeing how stiff and slow it makes the game look regardless of how it will actually play. That said, I repeat that almost every trailer is played too sub-optimally to make the games look fun, regardless of controller type. I actually jokingly suggested to my friends that there should be an actual job where some one plays games for companies in a way that gives them good material to make trailers off. Not "perfect" playing, not snappy optimal aiming, never getting hit or too fast for unfamiliar players to keep up with what's happening, but just not horrible making the game look slow and dumb like f.e. this.

"I remember the first time I played this series. First thing I did was blow a guy's arm off with a shotgun. I was so fascinated by this, that I kept shooting his corpse to see what else would fly off. I think I spent a good ten minutes just screwing around with the physics of the game on this one dead guy. I was 14-years-old at the time. SEE JACK THOMPSON, VIDEOGAMES DIDN'T MAKE ME VIOLENT OR CRAZY! "

I did the exact same thing buddy, the exact same thing. Solider of Fortune was where gore games should be aiming at.

Looks stupid, looks like its been made for psycotic AADD retards. Hur hur look at his arms fly off hur hur. This game is obvioulsy wank and has to make up for that with rediculous gore, nevermind the crap gameplay LOOK AT ALL THE BLOOD!, YOU CAN SHOOT HIS HEAD OFF!. Its just pointless. Just makes me sad for the industry because this will just be another game to be held up as 'Proof' that games are "evil and destroyng our childrens minds", re: Jack Thomson etc.

Aah, the sweet sadism gore can deliver. I love it.

If it is wrong to want to delimbafy a person than I don't want to be right!

loved the SOF series, i just hope my rig will be able to run this new one. i'm sick of every new game requiring a new expensive upgrade to your pc to run it..

Anyone who played the games knows that SP is nothing compared to online. I played that a lot and I can barely stand multiplayer of some games for as long as SoF lasted me.

That looks freakin' fun.
