Hidden and Dangerous .net Forums

So I was looking around today and yesterday and I found some Hidden & Dangerous content in old gaming magazines. I'll continue looking for more and post here, but for now this is what I have.
I understand many of you probably know about this but I'm here to share nonetheless.

Here's some more!

Nice

But the most rarest thing is that we have never actually seen a demo of h&d classic/original

I also found this, Petr Vozochka shows off H&D gameplay, I'm guessing this is a demo. Here he also speaks about Mafia, but that's only what I got from the description, since I don't speak Czech and cannot translate the video.

I understood a bit, since Czech language is similar to Polish. Not the same however.

In general Petr Vochozka talked about planned release date for H&D 1 and that the Mafia game would be something like GTA. He informed that H&D 1 would be published by Take 2 Interactive. He also mentioned something about Pterodon - maybe Vietcong game plans?

The video covered few H&D 1 missions like Italy 1, Italy 4 and Norway 3. I doubt, that it showed the demo. More likely an alpha version.

bullshit. There is a demo and it has also a few differences to the original game. Like different weapons sprays, you can't hit somebody with a MG who is more than 100 meters away.

If the demo is gone i can reupload it.

Please do, I'd sure love to take a crack at it.

Also, should I make a new post for other magazines or just repost to here? I've found an article from PC-Zone. I love looking at these in all honesty.

I think that you could create a new topic here: viewforum.php?f=13

That forum section mentioned above is about the classic Hidden & Dangerous and its expansion Fight for Freedom / Devil's Bridge.

Just rename the topic to something more general like "Classic H&D and FFF/DB in old PC magazines", etc.

Seriously though you have it...?
Please re-upload it
I've never seen one in my life before
If I'm wrong please correct me and don't be mad at me.

So here you go guys. It includes also the trailer. The trailer shows some differences between the beta and the release, it has also a nice soundtrack.

really funny that they wrote in CGW - 180 "motion captured 3D characters"
If anybody tells me H&D1 has bad anitmations, i can tell him that they have been created with motion capture

My favourite line from that magazine is: "Blow the bridge...or blow the mission"!

Should be instead: "Blow the bridge...or get run over by train"! (Italy 1 mission reference)

Thank you for posting this, I've been trying to find more old magazine stuff.
