[edit]Activision is the publisher, not the developer. The developer is Cauldron. Jminternelia 00:19, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Europe release date?
[edit]Anyone know the release date for Europe? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.102.178.56 (talk) 22:26, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Offical Site?
[edit]What confirmation is there that the offical site is offical and not just a fan site with the logo on it? Nn123645 12:02, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
I checked the page mercenarieswanted.com and it seems it was registered to an advertising company called "Gabriel deGrood Bendt" while a search of doom3.com or callofduty.com shows are registered to Activision(obviously).
you can check by yourself by going to a domain information website like: checkdomain.com
Note that if you visit their website http://www.always-thinking.com/ and click on the 'our work' tab you'll find that Activision is a client. The advertising company is located in the same City / State as ActivisionValue (Although that may be purely coincidence). Two games that this company did advertising work for were both published by Activision Value. 'Pimp My Ride' and 'World Series of Poker'.
Mystery solved I think. Jminternelia 00:19, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
neutrality of this article
[edit]this seem more like it was written as an ad and not an encyclopedia page, someone needs to revise it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.209.233.100 (talk) 09:15, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
Somebody needs to really revise the reception section.
- Somebody needs to rewrite the whole article haha.."Soldier of Fortune Payback will *satisfy online gamers with many of their favourite online multiplayer modes*" Sounds like an ad to me
They should just give credit to whatever they copied off of, it should say something like according to...(wherever they copied it from)... Soldier of Fortune will satisfy online gamers.
Still sounds very ad-ish "good network code" "great graphics" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.89.219.112 (talk) 21:27, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Removed Rating Image
[edit]I personally think that the rating image should be removed and instead replaced with a simply 'ESRB: M', like on the pages of other video games. This would make this page more consistent with other video game pages and would also remove a copyrighted image. --Credema (talk) 18:10, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
- I have removed the image and replaced with text instead. --Credema (talk) 06:18, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
More to This Article
[edit]This article has not changed ever since it has been created, in exception to the release date, which was changed from November 13th to the 14th, and I have not heard of anything about this game. If it has already came out, then why hasnt anything been added to this article about the plot? Is the release date even reliable? It has already been changed ounce becuase it was not true.
It's out, but nobodys really interested in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.101.9.254 (talk) 20:12, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- The game has indeed been released in the United States, and probably in Europe as well however, it is not very popular and it seems that no one who has purchased it is interested in updating this page. --Credema (talk) 06:12, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- There is no way that this is out, it doesnt even have a place in the XBox Live Marketplace, it cant be out now for the XBox. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.13.204.2 (talk) 12:51, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Sofpayback.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:Sofpayback.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

- This article is already bad enough, dont make it worse by stupidly deleting the picture, and by the way, why the hell do you need a reason for the picture, the reason is quite obvious, it is the game cover, therefore it needs to stay. Someone already deleted a large portion of the article becuase they felt that is was uneccesary, which was very idiotic.

Reception
[edit]I don't know if "lukewarm" is sufficiently neutral-sounding enough, but the reviews cited certainly are not "overly positive." Also, the "soldier of welfare" line is not explained. Also, should aggregators such as Metacritic be listed in the VG reviews box? I'm having trouble interpreting the template guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.195.92.241 (talk) 14:16, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
