Activision, Inc. and Raven Software are giving gamers a chance to test their grit with the announcement of the Soldier Of Fortune II: Double Helix multiplayer compatibility test. The test, which will initially be available exclusively from GameSpy's FilePlanet on April 18, 2002, gives gamers a chance to compete in one map across four different game modes including deathmatch, team deathmatch, elimination and infiltration. Gamers who choose to participate in the test will also have access to 20 skins and all the weapons available in the multiplayer portion of the full game. Players are encouraged to provide feedback to the team on gameplay and compatibility via email at [EMAIL=sof2mptest@ravensoft.com]sof2mptest@ravensoft.com[/EMAIL]. The multiplayer test is not the official demo for the game and does not contain the single player portion of Soldier Of Fortune II: Double Helix.

Slated for release this May on the PC, Soldier Of Fortune II: Double Helix portrays the gritty world a modern day gun-for-hire tasked with stopping a conspiracy bent on releasing a deadly new plague upon mankind. Under contract to the top-secret organization known only as the shop, players will travel from the snow swept streets of Prague to the jungles of Columbia to secret subterranean terrorist strongholds as they undertake a deadly hair-raising mission to foil the plot and eliminate the threat for good.
