I have to disagree with the walkthrough of Vergara's mansion grounds.

Being the slime-ball cheap-skate that I am, that takes way too much time and energy, not to mention getting picked off by the unstoppable sniper in the gatehouse.

No, I prefer to run like he11 into the garage, jump on the roof of the Toyota Corolla and climb up into the garage attic space.

It's not as challenging as tackling the slaughter on the roof path, and besides, I always wanted to muddy up the top of a perfectlygood Toyota Corolla that wasn't mine.....hehehe

Why use Cheats? Here's an Example, and a Funny little tidbit.

"Hard Day At The Office?
Hate your Colombian/Czech/other SoF2ish employer, who gave you a hard time?
Need to blow off some steam?
Grab the Mouse an' Keyboard an' strike up a few Cheats in the Console, then go mad-CrAzY an' strike up some NPC-Killing, Stress-Relieving Action!
( Order Now, Supplies Limited, Limited One-Time-Only Offer. )"

Either that, or grab the boxing gloves and have at the slab of meat you call 'BEEF.'

Cheats may totally ruin the point of the game, but hey, at times, they can help you IRL-ly.

"Stressed? Angry? Take it out on a Colombian! Or who ever else you wanna shoot!"

What I'd do would be have a set of saves acting as the cheat-free actual attempt, and then the set of cheat-heavy Stress-Reliever game saves, or what ever.

Maybe someone should make a new set of characters, for NPCs. Saddam, Usama, Bush, Chirac... Who knows. On, an' on, an' on.

"Mad at your current political party? Or maybe just looking to act out the role of Assassin? Have it at, with the new NPC_Hillary_Clinton, NPC_He_Bugs_Gore, NPC_Clinton_cigar, and many other controversial political figure heads!"

cant you wait to releave stress...just sleep on it..then you may realise that ther eis a vey obvious way out...THEN take ur stress out...isnt there enought gore for you??? just go round hacking people with a knife...fun!!! and most of all stress releaving...just think is was your boss! (that is if you have a boss that you dont like...thanks...i dont have a boss....yet)

cheats are poinless...and do ruin the game...well i think so anyway

Well, do whatever you like. They ruin a game, so don't use them in an 'official' play. Like I said, have a 'Bah, tired of this clap, just wanna kill baddies and forget the stealth...' and a 'Ok, I am serious now...' game, or, like I also said, take your anger out on the punching bag--or slab of meat--, or sleep on it. Do whatever you like.

You buy it, you can cheat if you want single player.  It hurts no one but yourself.

Now using cheats to bypass a bug.  I need to figure out how to really turn on God Mode.  I load the map and sv_cheats 1 but it does not translate into anything.. when I load my save game..  cheats are still not enabled

I HATE BUGs (bugs in the game) where I die constantly without doing anything.. maybe god mode will save me?

If you are running Soldier of fortune 2 Gold, as I am, you should have read something looked like this when you install you game. (But if you’re like me the first time I install the game I didn’t even read it, I just clicked OK.)

Our PunkBuster™ Anti-Cheat software technology and services combat online cheating in some of the most popular games being played over the Internet today. We also serve the online gaming communities that surround the games we support by keeping in direct contact with players, server administrators and league officials always watching for new developments in the "online game cheating world". We understand and appreciate the tremendous number of resources that game developers allocate toward game balance during game design and implementation. We take on the often-burdensome task of protecting that balance out in the real online world where dishonest players (we call them punks) hack and wrongfully exploit the published game for their own benefit at the expense of the honest player who expects and deserves fun, fair competition. Too many online games and related communities have been destroyed by cheating activity over the past few years. Now, honest players have someone on their side ... PunkBuster™!

The use of PunkBuster™ Anti-Cheat software is optional and has always been provided without direct cost to our users. We believe that the cost to provide Anti-Cheat protection should be built into the cost of online games. Therefore, we contract directly with game developers and/or publishers who wish to have our software and services associated with their online gaming products.

Then you clicked OK to load the game (it was right after you put in the CD key code).

You can remove it by going to your Soldier of Fortune 2 file and delete the file named PB. (It also says that on the same page you clicked OK on.)

Now just use the cheats they will work. You don’t have to add + set sv_cheats 1. Just press and hold shift + ~ to bring down the console.

I don’t know if this is the same for Soldier of Fortune 2 or not.

By the way I only use cheat the first time I play a game so I can find my way around and then I play the normal way.
