But at any point in the game, are you allowed to grab some replacement men, or are you stuck with your original 4 for the whole game?Įither way is fine with me. Granted, I do plan on replaying the first level, as it was actually pretty easy, and I should be able to keep them all alive this time. But, I figure I'm going to have a helluva time getting through this game if my squad keeps shrinking. WTF? Now, in a way, this kind of appeals to me, in that it'll help me really care about how my guys are doing. Well, when it came time to load out my team for my next mission, it only shows the two guys left alive from before. Yeah, I was kinda feeling my way along because I skipped the monotonous tutorial entirely, so ended up doing some stupid shit.īut hey, I figured I'd just replace the 2 guys I lost between missions. I finished the first mission with only 2 of my guys left alive. And I just now downloaded Hidden and Dangerous Deluxe for some retro gaming. So much so that I even spent and exhorbitant $30 ordering the Sabre Expansion (eBay was the best I could do.none of the online stores I frequent even carried it anymore), just so I'd make sure I have it ready to go. So now that I've actually played the first real mission in "H&D2" (patched up to v1.12), I must say I'm very pleasantly surprised. Then of course "Ghost Recon" appeared on the scene and blew everything else out of the water. I hadn't ever thied it because I'd heard so much about bugs and difficulty, that I thought it'd be way too deep for me.Īnd I loved the original "Deadly Dozen" when it first appeared in spite of some glaring problems, because it reminded me of an old favorite called "Damage Incorporated".
HIDDEN AND DANGEROUS DELUXE SERIES
HnD2 is the best small squad tactics game, its like playing a realtime JA game! After that theres the Deadly Dozen series and Ghost Recon.Īfter reading about this game in another thread, I was finally compelled to open my still-sealed copy. Any thoughts from those who have finished it? Words of wisdom? Tips and tricks? Is the rest of the game worth the effort to refamiliarize myself with the controls and make an effort to finish it?
I can see the glimpses of a great game in there, but I can't decide if it's the game that is deficient or just my style of play. I have too many instances of soldiers burning through all their ammo trying to fire through walls, or soldiers who sit facing one direction while the enemy comes from another. I know the AI and tactical command maps are supposed to keep micromanagement down, but it doesn't seem to work too well. Secondly, I have a hard time trying to control and keep tabs on all four guys.
Some of these, though, are damn near impossible for me to get through with all four men alive (i.e. Given that skills improve and (I assume) difficulty ramps up as you get through the game, it becomes more and more disastrous to lose a soldier and be forced to take a new recruit later in the game. First, I try to get through the missions without losing anyone. I've really enjoyed much of the game so far, but it just feels like such a chore to get back into it, mostly because of the difficulty. I'm only through the latter half of the African campaign, and a quick glance at a FAQ shows there's still 2/3 of the game to go. I recently tried to jump back into it and holy crap, am I just getting my ass handed to me. I got this game last Christmas, and after playing it for a couple of months this year it got shelved for awhile in favor of other stuff.
