Trivia
The game's installer features an audio play & slideshow detailing the background of the game. However because computers continually get faster, it's possible to finish the installation before the play has successfully completed. It helps that the game comprises 2 CD-ROMs and the user can continue listening to the audio while it waits for the next disc to be inserted.

To avoid having the game banned in Germany because of its violent nature, major modifications had to be made to the game's story line and graphics. The game now takes place in a parallel universe called Hysperia (!), where mankind was completely wiped out by machines (Terminator, anyone?). The machines then began to develop human-like emotions, which also led to common human problems such as war and crime. All humans, including enemies and the main character John Mullins, were therefore replaced by Cyborgs. The censored german "Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix" is regarded by most players as "the most censored game ever in Germany". A doubtful title indeed...
The character's name is John Mullins. He is named after the real-life mercenary (they prefer to be called "consultants"), who has been Raven's exclusive Soldier of Fortune consultant during the making of this game. His character is very specific and well-developed. His background is similar to that of the real John Mullins.
