Hidden & Dangerous 2 is a tactical shooter set during World War II, where you command British Special Air Service operatives across sandbox missions in Norway, Libya, Burma, Austria, France, and Czechoslovakia. You switch between first and third-person views while directing squad tactics through a real-time overhead map or issuing vocal commands. Missions span sabotage, assassination, prisoner rescue, and town liberation—some inspired by actual SAS operations, though most take historical liberties. You can capture POWs, steal enemy uniforms for infiltration, and select loadouts before deployment. The Sabre Squadron expansion adds campaigns in France, Libya, and Sicily. Objectives typically allow flexible approach order rather than strict sequences, letting you plan ambushes or adapt on the fly. Vehicle use and equipment depth got major upgrades from the 2001 original. Suits players who want squad-level control without abandoning shooter fundamentals.
