Hidden & Dangerous 2: Sabre Squadron Demo

Hidden & Dangerous made a bold statement when it first came out, since it featured a very tactical-based gameplay and way less shooting than your average action game. Alternatively, you are encouraged to hide and take the enemy by surprise, although are also forced to do so in most situations, since you quickly get killed if you do not take the proper precautions on the battlefield.

Hidden & Dangerous 2: Sabre Squadron is an expansion pack for the highly-acclaimed second episode in the series and it features a wide array of new scenarios for you take part in, as well as a couple of other, smaller additions when it comes to improving fluidity. However, the mechanics and the experience is basically the same as in the original title, although there's a bit more emphasis on the multiplayer mode as well.

The new missions maintain the very same type of objectives as the previous ones, but they take place in different locations. Naturally, there are some weapon additions as well, such as the MAS-36, a suppressed P08 and a flare pistol, all of which are closely modeled after the real ones when it comes to looks and capabilities, in order to resemble reality as close as possible.

As previously mentioned, the new missions are basically the most significant addition, but there are a few smaller improvements that augment the mechanics. Hence, it is now possible for the snipers to hold their breath while they are looking through the scope, in order to increase accuracy and assure yourself that the crosshair remains as stable as possible when you make the shot.

Other than that, the multiplayer mode received seven new maps, including a deathmatch arena called “Poland”. Moreover, the game can also be played in co-op now, which means that more players can go through the missions at the same time and share the tasks between them. As a bonus, the original Hidden & Dangerous 2 scenarios are playable as well.

In the end, Hidden & Dangerous 2: Sabre Squadron is a game that just extends the experience of the original and does not mess with anything that was already working as it should. The new missions are the most important part of the expansion and they are definitely worth the game time, especially if you are a fan of the series.
