Either way, PC.IGN has taken a look at Soldier of Fortune 2 to see what's new and what's not with Raven's latest announced game. Perhaps the most noticeable of these is the game's support for 800x600 screen resolution, as opposed to Diablo II's locked 640x480 resolution. The higher resolution setting doesn't noticeably impair game performance on a mid-range machine, but it lets you see much more of the screen at any time and makes the automap overlay less obtrusive. The higher resolution setting even makes the 3D parallax-scrolling effect in the game more pronounced, and it helps all the bitmapped characters look sharper and smoother. Ultimately it makes Diablo II look considerably better.
