Hidden & Dangerous 2: Courage Under Fire

Command a small Allied squad on secret World War II operations behind enemy lines. The campaigns travel through locations including Europe, Africa and Burma, with missions focused on objectives such as infiltration, sabotage and combat.

Before a mission, choose your squad and equip its members. In the field, switch between soldiers, issue orders and choose how to tackle objectives: sneak past patrols, use disguises, take a position by force or adapt your plan as events unfold. The game supports first- and third-person play, and some missions let you commandeer vehicles.

Squad members can develop their skills through missions, while casualties can leave lasting consequences for your team. The included Sabre Squadron content adds nine missions and allows its campaigns to be played alone or cooperatively.

Players repeatedly praise the game’s tactical freedom, squad command and varied missions, enjoying the option to plan carefully or take different approaches to an objective. Reviews also highlight its atmosphere and the attachment that can grow around surviving, improving squad members. Some players find the dated controls and AI frustrating, but the supplied reviews often describe the underlying tactical experience as memorable.
