Soldier of Fortune 3?

I remember going into #mapcore and gather around people for some fun hours of the (leaked if i rember correctly) Soldier of Fortune 2 demo. The Soldier of Fortune series have been good (altho I haven´t finished any of them) and with todays capabilities the 3rd installment could be a sucess....but

Looks like the gonna rush a product that no one even heard about and not next year or holiday season, nope November 21st is the date.

Why the lack of fanfare? It's a budget game, being launched under the Activision Value label, and won't feature either Raven Software or the series' GHOUL body-separating tech. Sad.

Graphically it's very nice, but if it's a budget title I expect the single-player campaign will be very lacking.

For this very reason I expect it will be only single player. Budget MP titles aren't good business, even for the Value label.

Personally I'm going to pretend this title doesn't exist... there was a video that showed up yesterday (looks like it was a marketing pitch video, it had powerpoint bullet points at the end talking about a loyal online fan base, 31% take rate, and the sales of the first two games) that was... well... :(

The article says it does have 16-player multiplayer KFS, so I drew the connection based on that. The older games were more popular for their MP than their SP from what I remember, so I thought they'd put some heavy emphasis on it. :oops:

Er, doh, hadn't seen that one yet. Fail! Well, that should be interesting then. Still expect them to focus on SP - even if the MP modes were more popular, it's always received the brunt of its focus on SP.
