Soldier of Fortune 2 Server
The following is information about the altFIRE Dedicated Soldier of Fortune 2 Server.
Introduction
Soldier of Fortune 2, aka Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix is a video game created by Raven Software, a sequel to Soldier of Fortune. It was developed using the Quake III: Team Arena engine. Once again, Raven hired John Mullins to act as a consultant on the game. Based on comments and criticisms of the original game, Raven Software developed Soldier of Fortune 2 to be a more "realistic" game, with tactical shooters like Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six as inspirations rather than Quake. A sequel titled Soldier of Fortune: Payback, made by Cauldron HQ was later released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2007.
Server Details
Our game server is a 64 bit AMD box with 4 GB of RAM running 64 bit Debian Linux. One of the many games we run on this powerful server is Soldier of Fortune 2.
The altFIRE Soldier of Fortune 2 server runs a default map cycle in sequential rotation. The max players is set to 12. Maps run with a timelimit of 20 minutes and a fraglimit of 20. When either is reached, the next map will load.
We have opted to NOT password protect this server, so even unregistered readers can play!
Getting and installing Soldier of Fortune 2
You obviously will need a copy of Soldier of Fortune 2 to connect to the server and play. If using Windows, just buy a copy of the "Gold Edition" and install. If your copy is NOT the Gold Edition of the game (ie. original retail version), update to the latest version now.
If you are using Linux you will need Wine installed to install and run Soldier of Fortune 2. See here for details. Tip: Use wine eject when asked to insert the second CD!
Connecting to the server
As long as your version of Soldier of Fortune 2 is up to date, connecting to the server is simple. To connect to the server, do the following:
1) Start Soldier of Fortune 2
2) Drop the command console using the ' key (usually beside number key 1)
3) Type the following to initiate the connection:
/connect sof2.altfire.com
Enjoy!
