Hidden & Dangerous 2: Courage Under Fire

Everything about this game was well thought out and implemented, and worked faultlessly. 11 out of 10, without doubt. Graphics were good for its day and are still OK but if you're looking at pixels, you've missed the genius. This was the most satisfying game I have ever played because I was brought into the game. If only this series had a case of sequelitis! I might be buying H&D 9: Baghdad or Bust. More user friendly than Operation Flash point, more cerebral than Call of Duty (the originals) this game had a very welcoming feel, and a very English stiff upper lip. Be every British officer you've ever seen in films. With splodes.

Finally got normal widescreen fixed on this via Proton in Lutris and the widescreen fix found here: https://thirteenag.github.io/wfp#hd2 For Lutris users, add the the DLL override d3d8.dll and the value n,b and this will force it to use the dll provided in the widescreen patch. Note I did try UWD 21:9, but at 3840x1600 you start to get some fisheye look to it, so I backed it off to a 16:9 aspect ratio. Anyway, fun game if you like sneaking around and blowing things up. Thumbs up.

Okay I am so glad this is finally getting released in a digital form as the original DVD is getting too scratched. What is this game? It is tactical shooter, Player can freely switch between 1st and 3rd person as well as flying tactical view. Game can be paused at any time to switch to tactical view to add or freely modify orders to the soldiers using detailed waypoints to coordinate your soldiers. You can freely switch between your soldiers and issue detailed commands through rather intuitive menu, but they have to be in earshot. Missions are various from wild rides through mined deserts, assaults on airports ambushes of convoys, supporting allies or infiltration into Austrian castles. Maps are decent sized large enough offering many different playthroughs and routes to victory. Enemies are not the cleverest but not completely dumb they will try to get to cover and get reinforcements they can give you huge challenge as every bullet can kill your soldier and you always have to thing forward of what to take with you. Overall this is one of the best games I have ever played and replayed I haven't still found replacement for this and I would early love a successor. If you want a very good and challenging game go for it. Highly recommended.

2K has retroactively changed their EULA. Now they collect literally anything on your computer (including but not exclusively visited websites or payment information for example). Not sure if they are also installing rootkit like software in the gog version like they do in non gog versions. gog should consider banning all 2k games because I dont think that their EULA complies with gogs vision...

When I saw the gog release of this game, it was an instant buy. The game is simply excellent. However, it doesn't support widescreen and the resolutions it offers are quite limited. I really, really hope there will be some sort of widescreen patch done by gog. As it is now, the only possibility of widescreen is some sort of convoluted Regedit hack which completely messes up the menus and stretches everything up. So, if you have an old monitor or simply don't mind 4:3 nonHD resolution, get it. If not, well, let's just hope for an update.
