"Hidden & Dangerous 2" is a tactical shooter computer game developed by Illusion Softworks and published by Gathering of Developers and Take-Two Interactive. The player controls a four-man British Special Air Service (SAS) team during World War II, conducting a wide variety of operations behind enemy lines. The game is set in a number of World War II battle theaters, from Burma to Norway.

The game centers around realistic gameplay and immersive environments. Weapon and vehicle physics are detailed. For example, bullets can penetrate wooden doors and other objects.

Unlike its predecessor, "Hidden & Dangerous", the game does not feature the popular four player co-operative campaign mode.

"Sabre Squadron", an expansion pack released during October 2004, introduced nine new single player levels, eight new multiplayer maps, new weapons, and a co-operative multiplayer mode.
