I saw this one posted on AT forum I thought that some members here might be intrested.

Hidden and Dangerous 2 is comming out next month so the publisher as a marketing ploy (?) has made the game advalible as a free download.
Whilst you wait for Hidden and Dangerous 2 to be released later this month, why not try a little bit of gaming history?

Taken from HAD2 homepage.
Released in the summer of 1999, the original Hidden and Dangerous was critically acclaimed by the games press, becoming a monumental hit around the world. So revolutionary was the title that it went on to inspire an entire generation of World War II and squad-based tactical shooters.

Gathering is now giving you the chance to play this mammoth game, in addition to the add-on mission pack 'Fight For Freedom' and the Game Editor absolutely gratis.

It's 1941. Your four-man squad has been shot down deep inside enemy territory. Stranded far from home you'll need all your reserves of cunning and concentration if you're going to command your team through Axis-infested Europe and escape unharmed. The odds are against you but if you think you have what it takes, you can take on the original Hidden and Dangerous at the link below, before tackling the next thrilling instalment in this series, Hidden and Dangerous 2, due for release later this month.


You can get it here.

Interesting; I wonder why would they do this?

Maybe this is this temporary, and they want this to serve as free advertising (by word of mouth), so that others will buy it?

Marketing strategy for the sequa possibly since when you exit the program it dosn't quit to windows but to a screen advertising the sequal with a link to buy it.

Sorry, I didn't read closely enough:
I thought they were releasing a NEW game (temporarily) for free.
I didn't realize it was a four year old game...
Now it all make sense :)
