18 Sep 09 Soldier of Fortune III: Payback
Soldier of Fortune: Payback is the third installment of the Soldier of Fortune game series.The sequel was developed by Cauldron HQ[7][1], developed with Cauldron’s in-house CloakNTengine, used in their previous First Person Shooter game, Chaser. This game is the firstgame of the series released for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The game was released on 14November 2007[3]. Upon being refused classification by Australia’s OFLC, Activision iseyeing an early 2008 release date for that country.[8]
Soldier of Fortune Payback evolves the signature gameplay of its predecessors with refinedcontrols, tension-packed warzones, and an enemy damage system that may be shocking to evenexperienced FPS players. Boasting more weapons options than any previous Soldier of Fortuneinstallment, Soldier of Fortune Payback’s impressive arsenal includes an array of more than30 weapons including sub-machine guns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, projectile explosives,weapon attachments and cutting-edge tactical weapons. The game features many of players’favorite online multiplayer modes including Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Elimination, TeamElimination, Capture the Flag, and Demolition. Additional online options include maps tunedspecifically for multiplayer action, persistent stat-tracking throughout the gamers onlinecareer, and many server settings for custom online play. The storyline reflects the practiceof "outsourcing" wars. When a routine escort mission goes horribly wrong, freelancemercenary Thomas Mason finds himself battling an insidious enemy that knows no boundaries.Traditional armies can not handle these extremistsonly underground guns for hire canfight a war this dirty and get results.

If you’ve ever wondered what happened to the Soldier of Fortune franchise, you’re not alone.The first two Soldier of Fortune games were popular shooters in their day, blending funsingle-player and multiplayer gameplay with the concept of playing as a mercenary. But after2002’s Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix, the franchise seemed to fall off the face of theplanet. Unfortunately, it should have stayed missing in action because the series has beenresurrected with Soldier of Fortune: Payback, a shooter that embraces all the wrong lessonsthat have been learned over the past decade.
Don’t let its looks fool you; Soldier of Fortune Payback is one of the most frustratingshooters of the year.
At first glance, Payback looks like a very pretty game. The visuals aren’t cutting-edge, butthere’s an attractive quality to them, from the lavish depth-of-field blur effects that kickin whenever you reload your weapon to the lush lighting. You no longer play as John Mullins,the hero of the first two games, but rather as a new mercenary caught up in a very clichéand badly told tale of a worldwide terrorist organization that’s so clever it brands all ofits operatives with the very same tattoo on their necks. It’s a wonder they’re so difficultto find.
However, it all goes downhill quickly because Payback reveals itself to be a relentlesslylinear and highly scripted shooter with a lot of flaws. Perhaps the most frustrating ofthese deals with the fact that the game relies on a checkpoint save system with no abilityto quicksave, which means that if you’re killed, you have to restart from the lastcheckpoint. That wouldn’t be so much of an issue if those checkpoints were frequent andnumerous, but they’re not. Thus, much of the game’s six to eight hours of gameplay is spenttrying and retrying to get through the many sections of the game. Though there’s aregenerating health system, you still die all too easily. It’s not uncommon to have toreplay a section a dozen times or more before you finally beat it.
The artificial intelligence is bad and consists mainly of two scripted actions. Oncetriggered, a bad guy will either run straight at you or stand in the open and shoot at you.There’s no sense of dynamic behavior in the way the AI reacts to what you do. The weaponmodeling is nonexistent; there’s practically zero recoil on any of the weapons, even thelight machine guns. On the flip side, even though the weapons all feel incrediblylightweight, they do a ridiculous amount of damage. The first Soldier of Fortune games were"edgy" in that you could practically dismember opponents with gunfire. The same goes forPayback, though it looks like the developers just copied and pasted the same code from theearlier games because the visual effect is almost exactly the same. Arms, legs, and headsall get shot off with absurd regularity while blood gushes everywhere. (The game does boasta low violence option that tones down this carnage.)
The single-player is six to eight hours of banging your head against a wall.
The music is actually pretty catchy, but the rest of the audio is lacking. The sound effectsall seem canned, and the voice acting is terrible. The script certainly doesn’t help eitherbecause the dialogue would be fitting for a straight-to-VHS action movie. The game also endsin a silly cliffhanger that assumes that gamers are going to want more of this action.
Additionally, Payback’s multiplayer is very generic, with such modes as deathmatch, teamdeathmatch, and capture the flag. There’s a whopping five multiplayer maps total, so there’snot a lot of variety there either, which is also disappointing, considering Soldier ofFortune II’s popular and fun multiplayer mode.
The PC game is slightly less expensive than major titles, but the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3games are full priced. Nevertheless, they’re all a terrible value proposition consideringthe sheer quantity and high quality of shooters this year. Unless you like pain andfrustration, there’s simply no reason to play Soldier of Fortune: Payback when there are somany other better games on the market.
