Posts: 76 | I have contacted them a couple of times, I had 1 reply from Hoekstra the main developer. I read their website a couple of times and all I can say those rumours are fiction.
The Ravensoft team is working on Quake4 which will be released by mid 2004. I have no clue if they have a team working on SOF3 yet. All I can say is that they are considering wether to make SOF3 or not. Based on the huge amount of reactions SOF2 had I cannot imagine they wouldn't make part3. I think SOF3 will be more MP based and can compare with the best MP Games.
The only question is when? I think it will take at least another year to make SOF3. They probably use a new engine (HL2).
And I think its much smarter to create a patch, they could make a patch in 3 months! A patch with some adjustments, new gametype + maps would bring some stuff back.
And last but not least, BUY THE ORIGINAL VERSION and don't use illegal software. If you really like a game , buy and support it. You ever wondered why games were so expensive?

Great things comes at once,
amazing things comes in quiet.
SOF 1: Terrorists with nukes.
SOF 2: Terrorists with virus.
SOF 3: Terrorists with ????
First keep the baddies coming,
keep your sights on them,
keep your gun loaded,
then keep them from coming.
Lastly, keep it real. |

Posts: 187 | Most likely, SOF3 WILL come out but not until 2005. IT will be likely be on the Q3 engine unfortunately. Given what COD acheived with this aging engine, i say this scenario is plausible. I predict it should be more solid than SOF2 was, this mainly because SOF2 was a little of a let down, and since SOF franchise is a lucrative franchise, Raven will want to keep it alive. The one thing i would suggest Raven at this point : (i think they have no work at all done on the project so far) Dont hold back on blood n gore like you did in SOF2 VS SOF1...#2: Invest more time in multiplay portion of the game, single play takes so much resourses away and yet, it is really not what gamers spend time on, much less modders. #3: Please try to make a more mod friendly code, SOF2 sucks for modding. #4: Innovation...bots in MP?, 3 teams MP? I know SOF1 made a bad impression at congress but who gives a damn, playin kindergarden wont sell you copies on this perticular franchise..let your creative minds rule.

Posts: 27 | #14: nah they will use doom3 engine for sure... ravensoft works close with ID together as they are developing Quake4 at the moment which is doom3 based as far as I know. It would make sense to use q3 engine in sof3 |

Well all I can say making SOF3 takes another 2 years, letting the community wait is not so nice. It's much better to make a patch first and then start with SOF3 . Or let Threewave Studio make another kick***** map! |

Posts: 187 | While it would be a gift from the heavens to see SOF3 on the DOOM 3 engine, it is not likely going to happen, here's why: The SOF franchise is rated Mature, which cuts down on the total market for the game since kids cant buy it. This meaning that Raven wont spit out the big dollars for a cutting edge engine if only a portion of the market can buy it. Unless their licensing agreement with ID lets them use the engine for as many games as they want.... It all comes down to money, and it'S a sad thing |

Posts: 334 | Uhmz, isn't Doom3 or Half-Life 2 also R-Rated ?
I hope there will be a SoF3 since SoF 1 and 2 gave me plenty of fun either in MP or SP.
Off course, this site will give you the news as soon as we know it and naturally will host the SoF3Files that come this way.
Games will always cost money (unless you're a stupid warezmonkey  ), the trick lies in advertising.
If you can create a big enough hype (HL2 anyone ? ) you'll sell millions of copies.
Judging from the visitor count of this site, i'd say there's plenty of intrest in a 3 rd addition in the SoF series.
I'd imagine Raven would use a D3 engine, but that's still open for suggestions, since there is NO solid evidence of SoF3.
Still, i feel my hands itching to play another great game.

Posts: 187 | quake and doom engine are developed buy the almighty John Carmack who owns ID software. The reason SOF2 was built around the Quake engine is simply technology, as the doom engine was too old at the time. But by the time Raven is ready to work on SOF3 the engine of choice will be DOOM3's. I've seen the Q4 demo and it does look amazing tho. |

Posts: 311 | SOF 3 that would rule but i hope they dont make the graphics to fancy or im going to have to dish out more money to a more powerfull pc. I spent alot for the pc i hav now to run sof2. Luckily pc prices r dropping so maybe i could get 1 for a good price.
the best games come in 3 so they should make an sof3 or ill be chapping on there door and making them do it !!!
Now do any of u know where they are located?? |

Posts: | lets hope everyting is implemented. not like sof2 where they were not even finished with the single player portion of the game. Hope they have ironsights, better stealth gameplay, and better bot AI for sof3 and even more weapons for multiplayer and you can buy the guns like CS, and have gametypes like rescue the hostage. |

Posts: | there is no quake4 demo... those CG videos involving AI were fakes.
i dont know who did them and what they used, but at the time those came out they DEFINITELY were NOT that far along in Q4 development... they were still doing concept art etc...
There are plenty of other engines a potential SOF3 could be based on but as someone said earlier Doom3 will likely be the adopted engine of choice.
Someone said 'Quake4 engine'...there is none. Its a modified Doom3 engine that Q4 will run on... |

Posts: 187 | thanks for the clarifications, unknown raven staff member. I agree on the Doom 3 engine theory, as Raven traditionally is a licensee for Carmack'S engines. Problem is, as of yet, most PC'S wont run Doom 3 at acceptable frame rates, unless dynamic shadows are ruled out of the engine, but thats the feature that makes it so extraordinary. |

Posts: | ok this is a message to get every gamer straight.
raven are working with the quake team make quake 4 (which is going to be made by the unreal 2004 engine, like painkiller)
there are no plans of soldier of fortune 3 atm so its going to take a year or so to make it from now, so every one waiting for it better try out some new games coming out.
for example doom 3, unreal 2004, painkiller, HL2, splintercell 2, hitman 3, farcry, etc.
until quake 4 news is heard there will not be a sound coming from raven about sof3
the only thing that might be a plus for sof players is there might be a new patch for sof2 possibly called "platinum" like the original.
what everyone else is saying is BS!
whenever news comes check out megagames for the latest news on any game. |

wtf are you talking about? the unreal engine is a competitor to the quake engine, and Raven are licencees of the Quake engine that ID Software builds. You need anything else explained while i'm at it? |

Posts: | Bah yada yada c'mon they will not make sof3 until probably 2005 like HMSS said! My reason is that well duh if u notice sof1 was in the 90's and it was based on 90's gunz and sof2 was 2ooo-2oo2-3 and had current weapons! so for sof3 will be a couple of years for it to really make out thats my guess :hat
Also to that guy who said weapon buyin thast crazy and the hostage crap either make your self a mod for sof2 or just go play Counter Strike :hat

SOF 3 should be made for one.
the story could suck again but what i want is opened ended enviorments like FAR CRY.
hell i think i'll make a list of things that really should be considered in the next..
1. Physics .. they must have GOOD physics engine! ragdolls, destroyable fragmented objects.
2.new SFX i really can't stand hearing the same old from the 2nd and 1st.
3.better non-scripted AI (with better brains).
4.Much Much more weapons like (Counter-Strike)
5.enhance the damage model with insides and a little more outside structure.
6.hide the damage zones on the character (don't make them so visible).
7.clean out all the bugs before placing on retail.
8.yeah use the Havok 2.0 physics engine or more
although i really would go with the half-life 2 engine compared to Doom 3. i mean both would be great but half-life 2 as u know is the next generation of gameplay so use theres so u can make some fame with RAVEN.
and yeah thats all i have to say. |

Posts: 83 | Ravensoft has answered your prayers loyal fans of Mullins. Yesterday at a press conference in Purgatory, Wisconsin, senior programmer, Daniel Kwale, art coordinator, Gadof Thondir, and press consultant, Jesse Custer, announced that Ravensoft has started work on the next installment of the Soldier of Fortune series. SoF3, currently referred to as "Soldier of Fortune 3: Exodus", will put the player, once again, in the boots of Mecenary John Mullins, and is being built on the DoomIII engine. Ravensoft was very excited about releasing the new information - so excited that they also released a screenshot of one of the new character models! Map developer, David Baggins, told PlanetSoldier to expect loads of new maps, weapons, and adventures - mostly thanks to the DoomIII engine and the new capabilities Ravensoft has implemented. You can be sure that PlanetSoldier will bring you all the latest news on Soldier of Fortune 3: Exodus! |
