"Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix offers more raw excitement than any other first person action game," said Larry Goldberg, executive vice president, Activision Worldwide Studios. "With its detailed damage modeling, random mission generator and astonishing action sequences Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix will simply knock your socks off!"
In Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix players once again assume the role of John Mullins, a military consultant working for the top-secret agency known as The Shop. Drawing in-part upon the experiences of the real John Mullins, players will experience fierce shoot-outs in the jungles of Columbia, the frozen wastelands of Kamchatka and the bustling streets of Hong Kong, to name a few. During their tour of duty, players will have access to an immense arsenal of real-world weaponry including MK 23 US SOCOM, M4 with M203 grenade launcher, MSG90A1 military sniper rifle, and the MM-1 40 mm grenade launcher, as well as authentic next generation small arms such as the OICW weapon system. In addition to the awesome firepower at their fingertips players will have to master stealth in order to tackle a wide-range of missions, including hostage rescue, intelligence gathering and search-and-destroy.
"Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix was an incredibly ambitious design that's exceeded our wildest expectations," states Brian Raffel, vice president of Raven Software. "Not only is Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix the most gritty and frenetic action game ever, but our random mission generator technology gives the game nearly endless replayability."
