i don't have a question, i just wanted to tell you all something.
i'm playing sof2 now for 1,5 yesr orso. and i nvere had seen sof1. i did read a few things about it, some people even did tell that they did like sof1 better than 2, (esspecialy when it concerns the ambience). today i did get sof1 over the post,
(bought it for 5 euro from someone on Ebay). i have played a while now and it's nice. emidiatly it did made me think about quake2, i mean how it looks and so. now you have to know that i did like quake2 very mutch, (have build about 10 sp-maps with it). but sof1 doesn't come near the place that sof2 has taken. sof2 looks mutch, mutch better. but maybe they are right about the ambience that 1 has, that that is better. i will play on, it playes very nice.

this was all that i wanted to say, sorry...

I agree that SOF2 is more pretty.. however the controversy is in the mapping and modding options that have been removed from the 2nd version that were not removed from the first.

These options are not gone because the engine doesn't support them or because they didn't need to program it into the game, but appear to be gone because they were actually removed from the engine.

I know this is why I felt that I got less of a game when I purchased SOF2 after having enjoyed mapping for SOF1.

I have to add my 2 cents, and a few bucks too...

This is a direct copy of my submission to planetsoldiers mailbag...

To answer your question, why aren't they're more mods for sof2... Well I sure as hell wouldn't make one for sof2... especiallly since sof1 was so much better... I'm waiting for another game to come out thats worth my time... I have sof2, and I play sof2, but only because of the texture resolutions... (nudes look better) When mp beta for sof2 was released... I got the beta from fileplanet and threw it up on the lan at my work, and all 9 of us agree'd not to replace sof1 with sof2 for our game nights... we spent half the game night talking poo-poo about sof2... Bottom line... What they did to sof1 was unforgivable... And we STILL play sof1 on game night... +++We no longer have game nights at work, sniff sniff, cry cry+++

----

The game play, the guns, the lighting, EVERYTHING in SOF1 was better, the ONLY thing I like about SOF2, is the texture resolutions... Oh, that, and after DM in SOF1... I became a MASTER at SOF2, come by my server, and I'll prove it... SOF2 requires MUCH less skill than SOF1, and if you don't believe me that's fine, I'm not trying to persuade you...

I just feel, and will nvr change my mind, THEY flicking RAPED SOF1...

Sof1 people are a little more serious about same room kills etc and there are alot of fun maps.I still go play once in awhile and it seems to be harder now ..

Because SOF2, has made you lazy, and your skillz have become weak... You need some Serious Sam to become strong once more...

I still jump into SOF on the work LAN, and we enjoy every frag, but it's a once-in-awhile thing now

Ravensoft lost my affection for them when they released SoF2. I dispise it. I never finished a map for it like I did with SoF1.

Not only did the removed mapping options pee-pee me off, but also the player speed... TO SLOW.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again ...Ravensoft can kiss me

Hey burn, I have my SOF2 server speed at 320, instead of 280... If not for that, I wouldn't play...

lol, I bet. Didn't know you could set the speed... Oh well, I still won't play it.. waiting for HL2 :-D

I think most servers run maps at 320 and gravity at 750/775 if not your walking :2guns:

i thnk it has all to do with witch game you did play first, i bought sof2 1,5 years ago and sof1 just now. so like 2 way better than 1, but i can understand that you like 1 better than 2 when you played that one earlier.
but to say that 1 is better in everything, well, i think that that is just not trough. for instance, in 2 the weapons look mutch better, also all the effects look better, and the game play is also better, for instance the p0lace the player uses is mutch to big. sometimes i get stuck, also the ladders are not as smouth as they use to be in sof2.

but it has to be said, sof1 is made in 1991, so that makes a difference and we have to see that game considdering that. still, sof1 is nice to play, but sof2 is still the best, untill now. although i have to say that the time has come to go on with sof3, because after all this time sof2 is also looking a bit old in some stages.

thanks for all your reractions!
