There have been many interviews posted lately regarding the anticipated sequel to the action FPS Soldier of Fortune. This one from GamesDomain.com is something special however. You see, unlike Lara Croft of Tomb Raider fame, John Mullins of Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix is in fact a very real person. GamesDomain has caught up with the retired special operations officer who was employed as a consultant in the game design process. This understandably makes for an intriguing interview:

GD: What do you like best about the whole game franchise, and what was most surprising in the development process?

JM: What I find surprising is the absolute level of the graphics. It just amazes me. Back with the military, we were playing around with very rudimentary simulations back in the early 80s, late 90s. When I say rudimentary, they were stick figures at most. Now we're at the stage where, yeah, you can tell a difference between real people and computer generated models, but soon you won't be able to. So, that absolutely amazes me.
