Hidden and Dangerous II
 
Anyone who hasn't played this, get it. It's a particularly well done WWII Action/Strategy Game.

Based around the British SAS, you conduct missions against the Axis in Norway, Africa, Burma, and Eventually France and Germany. Ferich will back me in that it is one of the best thought out WWII Games around, and it's a nice excursion for those of us who are sick of being US paratroopers constantly.

I bought this when it first came out in '99.
Though H&D1 was quite buggy it was a a real kick in the ass to play. H&D2 on the other hand is a far cry from its predecessor, i.e. much better graphics and a lot less buggy.
Illusion Softworks really did a great job on improving the game though it lacks coop in MP. And the AI was improved quite a bit as well but still needs a little more improvement.
It is really too bad H&D2 doesn't have the following as MOH does, mainly due to promotion of the game itself. The MP in H&D2 suffers from a lack of players/servers.
Aside from all that the SP does have an intense feel and is not constrained to the linear aspect as does w/ most FPS. You can go into 3rd person view which is a great aid in your surviability. This is a pretty brutal game and you cannot just go out runnin' & gunnin'. It'll take a some planning and stealth to get through some of the missions.
H&D Sabre Squadron is the expansion pack to H&D2. It does have some improvements over H&D2 but doesn't have enough missions, IMO.
An excellent selling point to H&D is its replayability. There are so many ways to get to your objective on the map and also there are sub-objectives as well.
All in all I find this game to be one of the best that ever was released. Next to Operation Flashpoint this game absolutely rocks. Too bad it has a piss poor following.

H&D 2 is an awesome game

good set-up, lots of weapons, good team ai, lots of depth to the levels and characters

i think the graphics could have been better tho

my only complaint about the gameplay is that it seems to require a pretty big time investment in each level. since you cant run and gun and you need to plan each step meticulously, missions take a long time to finish....which can be a good thing sometimes i guess, but not when i would rather just move on to the next damn mission nag:

either way, h&d2 kicks some serious ass and is definately a good choice for the tactically minded player
