SoF II for $25

[xardion]

Best Buy has SOF2 on sale for 34.99...also, i noticed in this month's issue of FHM (august 2002) there is a $10.00 off coupon, a friend of mine mentioned that the coupon was also in Maxim, but i do not have a copy to confirm that with...anyone know of any other mags with the coupon?

Is the August issue the one with Pam on it. I'll check it out during lunch.

sure is

Dropped by B&N at lunch. Saw the coupon in FHM, but did not see one in Maxim with a quick flip through.

The coupon has something similar to "cannot be combined with other coupons or offers" on it. I wonder if this includes the $35 special price. Has anyone actually bought this for $25 this week?

Anyone have this game? Any comments?

I think there was also a coupon in Gamepro or PC Gamer, one of those gaming mags.

the single player missions are pretty good; most are even fairly challenging IMO; worth the $25 alone.
while i enjoy the multi player, my one big gripe is that there are only a few maps to play on. unlike CS, UT, and even Jedi Knight II, you can only play the maps that come w/ the game. as far as i know, there have been no additional mappacks or the such.

overall, it's a pretty good fps military shooter. graphics are great and if you like a challenging game, this will not disappoint.

TheManiacal1 gives it 4/5 thumbs up! hehee

SOF2 is a great game. Well multiplayer wise. I never even made it throught the first single player mission because I like the multiplayer so much. I'd say if you like single player games pass on it, but if you like multiplayer games pick up a copy.

The best way I can summarize the game is it is like Counter-Strike (minus the cash for weapons), Rogue Spear, and Delta Force all rolled into one. It has CTF, TDM, DM and INF (or counter-strike style) gameplay and has great indoor and outdoor maps. It also has random map generation for some of the outdoor maps. One drawback is that there is not a wide variety of weapons, but what is there is fairly realistic. Overall graphics are outstanding on my P4 Radeon 8500.

I have hardly played MOHAA since buying SOF2 if that is a good indicator. I still like MOHAA, but it seems to get really laggy even on DSL.

Something to consider is America's Army is free and although I was only able to play a few minutes on a server due to all the problems they have had it does look like it may give a similar game play for free. I can't stand having to use Gamespy though so I hope the in game browser is working soon for AA.

SOF2 has a great in game server browser FYI.

Will Bestbuy take the $10 off coupon while this is on sale?

 

[Furor]

I have this game, it rocks..I will send someone the $10 coupon if you send me a SASE, I don't need it..PM me.

 

[turtlepower]

i searched through many of those magazines but couldnt find the coupon was it the type that you can just pull out or was it on a certain page that you cut out?

It is a whole page add with a cut out coupon at the bottom.

I hate when people list deals like this that are unconfirmed ...... I will try today during lunch wish me luck!

 

[CoolMint]

i did this deal tuesday with no problems what so ever she just scanned the coupon like any other. but that doesnt mean ymmv

now i did not try it in combination with the sof2-rtcw combined purchase sale
just on sof2 by itself

still havent even opened it yet..keep getting mixed reviews on the multi and thats all i care about

 

[BlueQuilt]

What a deal on a great game!

 

[CoolMint]

well i decided to go ahead and install it today..man i wish i took it back
game is almost exactly like Urban Terror with half the graphics and half the fun and UT is free
man.. of course this is only my opinion

 

[ICXRa]

Did the deal today. The coupon only took off $5 for me. I mentioned to the cashier it was supposed to be $10. She explained it was due to it being on sale then went ahead and took off the other $5. YYMV

 

[turtlepower]

I also did the deal today... the ad is on page 73ish of FHM with Pam Anderson on the cover... it only took $5 off at first so they had to manually take another $5 off... it took them like 15 minutes to figure out how to do it.. oh well

 

[ivan2]

crap! i paid 55 for the game at the first day when it released.
