Best game of all times, all categories!
Then when the H&D2 Demo was released I installed it and played it, and played it, and played it. I just couldn't stop playing it! It was the only, and is, demo I have played so much. When the game was released I bought it, took it home and installed it. After some problems with getting it to work despite a good installation, I finely started to play it. And as with the demo it was perfect. Both the multi-player and single-player part were fantastic. I still play it today, not as often, unfortunately time is catching up. But it is still a great game, and with the coop mode from Sabre Squadron its lots of fun. I can agree that there are a bit bugs, and that squad controlling isn't the best but you can easily look past that because the game is so good all around. You can play it like you want to. If you want to equip you and your squad with machine-guns and mow down germans you can, if you want to sneak and kill as few as possible, that can be done to. You can play it as a one man squad or two, three...the point is that you can do it as you like. The same applies to the loadout. You can play with whatever loadout you want. I have played through "Spaghetti Airport", on the hardest difficulty, with just one guy adn a knife. I never had to use a gun, nor did I get discovered, so no tank. Nothing is impossible. I think that H&D2 has the best inventory system of all games. Its simple, understandable and realistic. All the weapons and gadgets are perfect all things has their use and nothing feels wrong. I can only think of one thing that bothers me, when you have Sabre Squadron installed you get a silenced Luger. But you can only use this on a couple of maps, only SS maps. I would have been great to use a silenced gun dressed as a german, sneaking around shooting instead of knifing them all...
The missions are good too. Not all are great, but they all fit in. Most of the missions can be played in different ways too (stealth, assault and so on). Some are standard missions, raid that, save the and so on. But some are more original, defeating germans on a big ice block that are falling apart. All have a great atmosphere and are believable. As a conclusion I will say that this game is the best game ever made, all categories. The game is not for everyone, but no game is. It has some faults but if you can look above them you will find a fantastic game that lasts forever!
