SOF: Mission 4 -- Cold as Ice
Prologue:In a hostile arctic wilderness, Matt's bear hunting holiday goes very bad. You will need to battle polar bears, wolves and a renegade faction of the Russian army to survive...Thank god for hi-tech thermonuclear polar underwear:]"~Neal Manke

It's easy to take for granted the high quality work that Neil Manke displays on each and every one of his level productions. You just come to expect it. And Cold as Ice is no exception to this steady stream of high quality output.

The setting is exceptionally realized replete with ice flows, snow covered evergreens, igloos, arctic huts, polar bears, snow vehicles, wolves and Russian soldiers. Its presented on a grand scale in a fantastic wide open outdoor area which has become Neil's signature trademark. No one does the outdoor setting like Neil Manke, no one.

Gameplay is top notch. There are many decisions to make, and the frantic action forces you to make them without time to think! You will find yourself in the frigid water under the ice, running low on air, with wolves and bears tracking you up top! Finally just when you make your way past that hurdle you run smack dab into the Russian army. Ouch! Thats gotta hurt.

The sounds of wolves howling, the slippery ice and the models themselves are done very well and certainly help to raise the immersion factor. Neil also includes several interactive segments which really advance the storyline. And we are not talking about grabbing the key or pressing the button to open the next door!

Another in the long line of Manke high quality originals.

| Neil says its his last level for Quake.
| Neil Manke. The name alone now means a must download.

My mister polar bear what long arms you have.
The Russian arctic patrol. Rumor has it that the head on this guy is modeled after Neil Manke himself.
Wolves and a frigid blue soldier...great incentive to keep going.
