Soldier of Fortune Mailbag
 Mailbag  #2

Article by Chris 'Reese' Beauregard

Well, it’s time for another week of mailbag, this week hurt even more that last week. The topic for next week’s mailbag is "What the hell is wrong with Twisted?". Don’t forget to read the whole mailbag and scroll down to see the coveted Bassie Award winner. ;)

Good Day
I ran into a problem, one of my buddies was fooling around on my pc and typed a password in for my parental lock so now I have no fiolence !!! . HELP ! I tried uninstalling the game and re-installing it with the hope in mind that it would remove the password but did not any ideas ??? I even tried installing it to a difrrent drive but still no luck !! My boss at work is running win2000 and can not run the game any ideas ??
Thanx in advance

Sounds to me like daddy’s little girl doesn’t want her to see Mr. Badguy get his head blown off. But just remember that even though you are not getting your period, even at age 19, it doesn’t make you less of a woman. Raven has made this game exceptionally child proof. There is NO way to get the password or turn of violence lock one your turned it on with no password. I guess that you will be playing Tetris for a while.
Tell your boss to pick up his computer, box it up, and send it back to the manufacturer. He is too stupid to own a computer. Win2k was designed for purely Internet related issues, not to play games. I know some people who got SoF running but it crashes 1 out of 2 times.

picked this game up a week ago, Hmm looked pretty cool. Picked up the patch, witch was the shotest patch I've ever downloaded (don't know if that can be good!?) Log onto the WoN......There where 250 servers, 30 players whats up with that? Has this game died already!? I kinda had higher expectations for this game. If there is going to be a SOF2 Im going to pass I'll put my money on TF2.
Sarge...

Hey buddy, no one held a gun to your head and told you to download the patch. Personally I thought the patch was kind a sexy. Wow, 250 server and only 30 players. I doubt that soldier of fortune is dead, you are just too retarded to scroll down, or maybe you shouldn’t log on at 3:30 A.M on a Monday morning. That may solve the problem genius. About the SoF jab... they have not even officially announce an SoF 2 in the progress.



From: Gordon Tyrrell
Subject: A question
A quick question. I have reached the level where I'm in the plane and holding off the enemy while my partner deactivates the bomb. The plance takes off and then the game goes back to the library level?? Have I reached the end and this is what happens or do I have a problem with my CD?? Any help would be great. Seems like not a lot to the game if this is the end so I suspect I have a problem.
Thanks for the help
Gordon

That topic explains it all. I wasn’t quite sure it was a question because you used 2 question marks so I thought it turned into a statement. So, you are stuck on the library level. Gaming has hit a new low.
Editors Note: Reese cries to himself in the corner as he holds his SoF CD.

Hey I need your help because i am stuck at a level where new york city is about to be blown up by a huge rocket and i have four minutes to do it in and it says you have to stop the counter but how do you do it PLEASE HELP ME !!!!
PS. Thanks a lot

Man, let me tell you, we are on a subject roll lately, first “a question” then “soldier of fortune”. Some people are just naturally creative. If you have a question about getting past a level go to our SoF Walkthrough.

Subject: Single Missions....
Will there be any single missions coming out? Though internet play is a novel idea, I have just one word for it..LATENCY! It is sluggish..quirky and well need I say more.
Hoping, Rob

You have AOL, need I say more? Why don't you go out and design some levels instead of waiting, take some initiative.

Subject: Problem?
Hi, i was wondering if you HAVE to have a 3d accelerator card? Please get back to me as soon as possible, Thanx

WTF! How is that a problem. That is a damn information question follow by a request. I don’t see the problem in there. Maybe the problem is that you are too stupid to write a real email. And to answer your question, yes.

From: George W. Subject: THE GAME IS GREAT I LOVE THIS GAME IT IS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFF

Well, I decided to make this email a smaller font than the 45 that he emailed it to me as. Hey, this enthusiasm is great, if only we had more people like this....... jumping off of bridges.
Oh, excuse me.

I don't know how to play SOF on the internet. Can you tell me how?

All right, since this the second email I have received on this topic it is time to address. Follow these steps:
1) Take SoF CD out of CD-ROM drive
2) Put CD in case
3)Put CD and all components in the SoF box
4) Set it on your shelf and pretend that you play it.
Leave the gaming to the professionals.

Why if i end the first level the game falls down ?

Wow, the games falls down after the end of the first level. It use to happen to me. I just got so excited that I acutally succeded, that I accidently knocked the game off of my shelf. Solution: Stay a failure.
