We are now celebrating 18 years since our beloved H&D2 was released. With this occasion we intend to bring back a legendary Objectives style known as VTM. It was known only to the most dedicated and tactical players, who were disciplined to look after their team mates, always following their team leader's orders. Everyone is invited, so here's all you need to get started for the event
For H&D2 to recognize Multiplayer servers, you need to add 3 lines to your
hosts file located at
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts or
/etc/hosts for Linux systems. You will have to copy the file to your Desktop, add these lines and then copy it back with Administrator permissions. It tells the game what server to listen to for data about online activity
89.166.9.246 hd2.available.gamespy.com #hidden and dangerous 2 check
89.166.9.246 hd2.master.gamespy.com #hidden and dangerous 2 heartbeats
89.166.9.246 hd2.ms14.gamespy.com #hidden and dangerous 2 server list
... alternatively, download the hosts file here:

and copy it to the needed location
Download and extract the
VTM mod
into your existing game directory. Simple as that.

This weekend we will also remember our two missing heroes
Justice(
†2011) and
Otto(
†2015). Like last year, we will play for them, and those who have played with them will never forget them. We will play cooperative mode on both days, Saturday and Sunday. The missions suggested last year will also make their way in this year's event. To join our memorial, please follow the instructions about
hosts file specified above.
In case you don't have our latest
CMP(Coop Map Package) installed, please download it and extract it into your game folder
Let's play for Shane and Marek!
