Here, I fixed link:

https://www.mediafir...eTo2.6.exe/file

Make sure you installed all parts in order. In same folder. And run comm2p.exe instead of comm2.exe Some missions like EX8 must play with comm2p

In EX7 you have to rush to attack the driver of the truck, you can steal the uniform and get in with car. To cross minefield you have to use dog, he can detect mines.

 

Between not finding anymore exciting mission and real life, I only played old missions for a long time.

 

Then my computer broke and I gathered the courage to install new updates.

 

Used to play 2.0

 

 

 

Now I upgraded and install until 2.5. Difficulty set on Very Hard.

 

I want to say thank you again for all the modding efforts, I think it's awesome and every though I don't like all the games, I really appreciate everything. This is my favorite game and I never don't have it in my computers.

 

 

 

In 2.5 there are a lot of unplayable missions, missions don't load and the game closes or returns to menu. They are way too many of them and it's quite a hassle because every time the game closes, it messes up the computer's graphic settings. These are only a few examples:

 

- All missions by James Bond 

 

- L28 29 30 sniper elite 

 

- The Hero of Tarmakan

 

- Choose

 

- Jailbreak

 

- Rebel Army

 

- Isolated Island Survival

 

- Tiger Mouth Grab Teeth

 

- Poplar by LYT, forget the mission name

 

- The Hunt of the Tiger

 

There are many more that don't work, sorry I forgot to write them down. They are clogging up the mission list, I wish there is a way to remove those that don't work.

 

 

 

Mission by Chiu:

 

- Ch1, Spy can't do anything! No weapon, no poison, can't punch, I don't know what to do. I remember there was a mission like this.

 

- Ch2, doesn't load

 

- Ch3, a very good mission, although I can't end the mission even though I have done all the objectives.

 

It's very fun and long mission, starting with Fin in a very challenging situation. I never imagine Fin is up against so many snipers but make use of the light, preserve the ammunition especially at the beginning and sneak around. However it's very hard to get Lupin, I don't know how to go into the room without getting killed and the Ally is useless. The invasion is great and second one was unexpected but it works very well. When enemy on the starting side has been clear, I stationed Sniper at the dark area on the bridge with unlimited rifle. With a long stretch of bright area and sniper far sight, it's easy to get them because they always use the bridge to get there.

 

 

 

- Novice Training Driver (LYT) it's quite interesting but I can't end the mission even though I have turned off every light and blown up every truck it still uncheck. The map is nauseating though, there are a lot of scrolling to go around. You can't kill enemy but you can kill dogs. The guy with light don't help their friend so it's easy to get around them.

 

 

 

- ST03 04 05 is very beautiful and too bad I always kill civilians. One of it with the monks is civilian killed randomly, but maybe because I trigger it, need to replay to be sure, however the one at the fishing dock (love the map) is very hard and seem impossible to do as there is no hiding place. I found the starting point when I appear and manage to kill a couple of enemies, but it trigger the patrol and it's very hard to get back to the water and I get killed again and again. So I haven't tried back.

 

 

 

- Defending Motherland 

 

can't do anything, GB stuck and Sniper can't shoot from the window. Enemies block the entrance. What is the point of this mission?

 

 

 

- Horror in Kasserine

 

Can't breach the enemy area behind wire

 

 

 

- I don't remember the name of the mission.

 

It starts with GB (training map) when he has to clear the area and contact Fin. It was easy enough and I manage to kill everyone and contact Fin. But it starting to get ridiculous from there. With a lot of trials, errors, and deaths, Fins manages to overcome the enemies in his area but wounded badly. He also manages to get to the other side, and land after sneaking past the four enemies by the water, but then I was stuck. No knife, nothing, and there are a lot of enemies around. I can't knock them without being seen or kill them without being loud. Alarm will get the driver executed. I don't know a way to work around it and have to give up.

 

 

 

- Haifanggang something (Enenen)

 

Easy mission but I love it. It's classic, clear with many resources. Classic Haipong they just move the commandos around. Didn't use Sapper at all as I blew up the explosive manually. Many times it's nice to have classic mission.

 

 

 

Overall:

 

Maybe 2.5 still frustrating to me. A lot of not-working missions, it clutters the list. After trying so many, I only find two satisfying enjoyable missions. There are many more that don't work or I fail and forget to write down. The mine detector is still frustrating (not challenging but frustrating) and there are still some mission when commandos don't know how to use weapons. It would be fine if they have other ways to neutralize them but sometimes they don't. There are missions with almost zero resources and it's very disheartening to play. 

 

I am sure they thought it. I created several missions and I used to have big doubts about the commandos abailables. Sometimes I deleted a member who supossed to be in. Choose wrong commandos can ruin a mission. I think all stalingrad campaign is better without thief.

The quality is awesome. I would love to includo the water in next update, very usefull improve.

Back in the mid 2000s I used to drag my far-from-state-of-the-art compact camera everywhere I went, capturing possibly everything that, after some adjustment, could end up in one of my favourite games Blitzkrieg. Trees, bushes, terrain, houses, literally anything, as the game had a surprisingly user-friendy resource editor. As you know about old habits, they tend to die hard, so when I'm dragging my current far-from-state-of-the-art DSLR camera with me on locations, I still think how awesome this or that could look like ingame, and I'm still thinking about older games, and this time Commandos 2 specifically. One of the few things I really envy of C2HD, are the beautiful weather effects, including water, and I think that put the bug in me like two years ago, obviously knowing that it would be impossible to match visually. As it happens, I live in a city commonly referred to as "The city of rivers" for a literal reason, so during the years I have accumulated a decent amount of photos of water body rippled by the wind, lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, that again after certain adjustments could end up in Commandos 2. I know it's not a game changer, only a minor aesthetic upgrade, but I still would be glad with some feedback of the first prototype from Burma. Thank you.

2.5 Is here!

Original comm3 was underrated because missing hotkeys and missing coop. They only fixex hotkeys. The original comm3 faces still better than c2 or c3 hd remaster. I like the zoomed interiors in the trailer.

Im not sure how to feel, a new commandos game was my dream from years and the c2 hd remaster was worse than the original. In another hand, I would feel very stupid If the company get rich releasing a new game while I was keeping the game alive for free...

The BCD missions in Destination Paris are still based on a very old conversion of the original maps.

Right now I'm working on a higher quality conversion. What do you think, should I proceed?

 

current map in DP:

 

upscaled and color corrected map:

 

example of 4x AI upscaled building:

Yes, I would enjoy replaying hd. The challange will be to switch all coordinates to the new scale in all .mis .bas .gsc. At least the normal missions, mods in old scale bcd will have the same problem, but I guess we can skip that fix for now. Maybe the owner of these mods can do it theirself.

I like so much Get Into The Trap (Haibo LinYuTain). I used to kill several tanks and invaders using the canon near the river in the left, I think is the key. I don´t feel the mission hard, enough time for me. The only thing I don´t like is the tanks can resist 4 shoots of bazoka because is not logic and don´t make the mission harder, only longer and less funny. I also added myself knife and trap because in the original version they only punch and tie.

Couple other missions:

 

Get Into The Trap (Haibo LinYuTain)

The beginning was easy. Manage to neutralize all enemies and get the supply of bazooka etc. But after that, WTF.

There are very limited bazookas for however many tanks???? And each tank need four bazooka refill to explode, and we have to destroy all? How? 

It seems impossible to play hide and seek, let tank fire at another, because there are so many of them in close proximity and they turn their head like possesed.

But I wouldn't know, because &*&@^#^@ my icon was stuck in viewpoint and I couldn't do anything. It's a glitch that happened often when there are plethora of similar things in the box and I accidentally picked up something that was already in my inventory. Hang, freeze or stuck in viewpoint. Again, %@&%!&

 

To put it simply, frustrating, with time limit too!

Never like those because for some reason, creator always put a very limited time they could solve. (without considering that they are playing with their own creation, and have very good idea on how to solve the mission unlike other players who need trial and error).

 

Trial and error is fine, and could be fun. 

But if there are not many windows to explore, it gets frustrating.

For myself, I would abandon the mission when I don't have enough faith that the mission can be solved reasonably.

Nope.

 

Assassination (Kop 555)

Spy, Lupin need to assassin a general.

Teleport by monks is interesting idea, but how on earth that they could kill the general when they couldn't even fire any weapons?!! What kind of commandos don't know how to fire weapon?

There is Spy's poison to acquire, but only two doses, not enough to kill the General, and it's pain in the ass to get. I suppose getting the general drunk on wine then two doses can kill him?  But all the wine bottles are only good one one throw each, and it had been used to obtain stuff.

Again, frustrating, limited way to play in something that can be a potential to be good mission.

Nope.

 

Spy Sea (Lin Yu Tain)

Finally a nicer playable mission.

It's tricky, difficult and need creativity especially for neutralizing snipers. But there is one big pet peeve, the alarm sounds just like that. There was nothing prompting it, and the commandos have been painstakingly covering their tracks including hiding bodies etc. Then why the alarm sounds? It's not fair especially when I only have one playable commando before I rescued the Spy. Had checked over and over again, there was nothing that should sound the alarm.

 

Under Their Noses (Lin Yu Tain)

I like this mission, but the last part, I don't know how to escape as the arrow point to the cliff. But that's all.

The challenging (but fun) part of the mission is acquiring thermal coat, which commandos to play first. And acquiring resources for invasion in very limited on time, also setting up a safe place t hide and ambush. Getting snipers are tricky as well, but it's possible that makes it fun. Sniper is the most valuable player here, but without GB's grenade, it's impossible to get into some pesky snipers. 

Love this mission.

Information about Comm2P.exe:

Is a modified version of comm2.exe you can find it in the directory of 2.0, it have some improves like resolution screen, use harpoon in land or show enemies alive pressing F6. The missions with 2P in the list need the 2p version for run.

Unfortunetely some antvirus software keep blocking the 2p version and the creator says isn´t a virus but we dont know how to fix this problem. Anyway you can keep running comm2.exe or debug version as always.

 

 

I have version 2.

Can I upgrade to 2.3 directly, without going through 2.1 and 2.2?

 

No, you need to install all upgrades in order, otherwise some content will be missing

I also played ps2 version before pc, it was a gift when I was 11 years old. And I also tried to do weird things like search different ways to win the missions or only tie, I managed to get 5 stars in allmost all missions. It was my favourite game and didn´t want let it die, so I learnt to edit and created my own dreams. Playing easy missions without kill or save is a cheap way, better create hard missions where you able to use all weapons.

Can´t take last bullet is intentionally wanted to balance the game. I would love to find weapons with properly ammo, like snipers with 5 bullets and some ammo for reload, or find the mp40 with at least 30 bullets, but that would make the game too easy, even letting take 2 bullets per rifle. But is not a big trouble fix the can´t take last bullet, I could discuss with some close friends.

At this point there are too many missions to choose, and not all of them are good, you can skip missions looking boring for you. TR3 is a funny map, but I don´t like the mission, the music make me sleep and yes, there is an unfair trap. However canstay ( zjs47) is very good creator, he have other good missions like tr5, bunker to the breack and treason bridge. treason bridge have some surprises, it is very hard also and only can tie the enemies with ally anim ( patrolls can kill ), but there is a funny secret ending.

I used to skip missions where you can´t kill, that make the mission boring, not harder. I think I made a funny video before of how to don´t create a mission, not followed by some guys:

Yes, I have run out of barrels and bomb for invasion after Smith call, but it is possible to escape without blowing up the tank by parking there outside of its sight and then speed up when the tank looks to the left as in my previous picture.


Thanks for the video!

That is interesting, and certainly crazy, but yes, it has to be multiplayers with similar skill, so the enemies actually didn't even get the chance to go near the radio. Nicely done btw.

For one player, there is no way I could resist the invasion at the back gate like what you guys did. I can't even do it in the house because we can be spotted from far by enemies and there wouldn't be enough time to load the ammo for three by myself.
I always collect ammo on the go, and ditch them in visible places when full. For invasion like this I put them all in place I decide as 'basecamp'. One commandos would be in charge of refilling ammo for his friends by grabbing those weapon I had collected and quickly harvest from dead enemies, that's why I have so many riffles and machine guns scattered around my basecamp.

Can I ask a couple of questions:

- For the first invasion, it was easy enough to kill (two or three? one seems to be just liutenant, no sure if he was going to use the radio, the other two seem to be generals) by placing mines and one trap. But the second invasion it seems very difficult to do so because there are many machine gun soldiers and snipers who run around the radio and setting up my mine and trap. I had tried multiple placements and failed, traps and mines are already kill others before the last general.
I succeeded when I use a commando to bait those others directly to the house by shooting gun (so that the trap is still open for the last general), and have to be injured because of the timing. Once I fired the gun, multiple enemies came to the house, I have to fire again to get the one that I want to not run to the radio and by this time some already reach the house and shoot me before I run inside when other commandos are covering for me (can't put them outside because too many enemies coming).
My question is there other strategy for one player?

- I notice you take out machine gun bullets to fill the pistol?

- Some differences I spot in your video.
It seems that your commandos inventory is small. Mine is classic full backpack.
Is it different version with mine (2.0)?
Noticed that there are more first aids too. I only found 3 first aid, one is for smith, so two left for commandos.
Smoke bombs seem to last quite a long time, any trick for that? (Smoke bomb is the item I used the least, because I would get very nervous and most time I throw it incorrectly or the timing is not good enough.)

- It looks like you combine sleeping poison and molotov/flamethrower, nice idea, never thought about it.

I didn´t search new ways to win. I won in single player in my first testing using same tactic as the video, but I understand is too hard for other players. The key is don´t waste much resources in first assaults; for first assault ( patrolls and tanks ) moving deads near the bomb you can kill all just using bombs, and collect even more ammo, I also place full weapons in my basecamp. For second assaut I don´t blow up the tank ( because the bomb can kill several enemies in next assault + the tank), and I don´t use all weapons, place half of mines only. I try to block the down gates, so I only focuss in defend up one. And last assault place all mines/traps, trying again to block down gates, so only focuss in up side, using all powerfull weapons, and improvise to survive single enemies reamaining from different ways.

In the video my friend radek made a bug, he have machinegun in his inventory, but it is invisible and dont waste rom. Is a repeatable bug, he show at some point in part 1 maybe.

Yes, the video is old, I don´t remember the version, I have made little updates like infinite pistols and big bags. Nothing important.

The smoke bomb is an important tool in hard missions like W1 or this mission. The smoke bomb make a really thin invisible line between the driver and where you click, an easy way to walk in the invisible line is walk to the same point as you throw the smoke bomb, even can make other commando follow using w in the first one. Smoke bomb + flamethrower is so powerfull option in this case. The molotov is also strong weapon because the enemies get stuck watching the fire, and after a while they run to the exactly same point. Another detail, if you shoot floor you make new enemies stuck watching the fire ( usefull tactic in EX3 ). Playing good comm2 is about speed and know tricks

SINP2: Use shift to drop a ladder, you can find it on the thin wall. here is a guide:

SINP5: Which soldier? I see all ok, maybe pressing º to hide interfaz?  we have recorded some time ago:

SINP6: You can use the smoke bombs ( on house ) and try to move the trucks, after exit, If the truck is in position you can blow it. There is also a guide:
