Hidden And Dangerous Released For Free

Thanks to Blue's News for the information that the PC tactical shooter Hidden And Dangerous has been released for free download by publisher Gathering, to help trail the sequel, out next month. According to Blue, this 'Deluxe' version of the original "...not only includes the full version of the WW2 squad-based combat game, but also the Devil's Bridge expansion, all the required patches and updates, as well as the mission editor." There's BitTorrent linkage to this generous 264mb giveaway courtesy Filerush and via GameTab, and it's noted that you "...can also get H&D Deluxe on a CD as a bonus for preordering H&D2 at EB, GameStop, or Best Buy."

Get three friends and play it together. This is THE best multiplayer, co-op experience I've had with my LAN buddies. Good fucking times!

Deluxe meaning more bugs?

The game was highly and widely reviewed. None of the ones I read mentioned any of the many many many bugs. That came later. It was for me the turning moment when I stopped buying game mags.

So does this deluxe edition finally have a proper patch? I doubt it. Gathering of Developers is not exactly known for its bugless releases. Nice games but I will not pay for any more of their crap.

The mafia patch took a bloody year.

I remember the time when patching a game was unheard off. You know when they came on floppies and most people didn't have internet.

Now I don't remember playing a single game recently that didn't require patching.

Sorry end rant.
