Defusal gametype of Valve's Counter-Strike series. Reception The PC version of Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix received mostly positive reviews, however, Ivan Zulic of IGN remarked that the game felt rushed, possibly in order to avoid cannibalizing sales of Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, an upcoming title from the same company. He also noted that as a result of its apparent premature release, parts of the game seem unbalanced or unpolished, presumably due to a lack of extensive playtesting. The game was a nominee for GameSpots annual "Best Multiplayer Action Game on PC" award. The Xbox version was heavily criticized since it did not improve on any of the PC version's flaws despite an additional year of development time, so it did not keep pace with the advancements in competing first-person shooter games. It also had graphics far below what was expected for the Xbox, with bland textures and a low polygon count that led Hector Guzman of GameSpy to describe it as a "PC to Dreamcast to Xbox port". The game sold 152,000 units in the United States. Sequels Based on its success, initially released for Windows, Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix was later ported to the Xbox. A third game in the series, Soldier of Fortune: Payback, was made by Cauldron HQ and released in 2007. A MMOFPS based on the series, Soldier of Fortune Online'', was published in Korea by Dragonfly and went in closed beta on August 12, 2010, and ended on August 16, 2010.
