Commandos 2: Men of Courage is a video game developed by Pyro Studios SL and published by Eidos Interactive Inc. The game was developed for the PlayStation 2 console from Sony and for the original Xbox from Microsoft. It was launched in 2002. It is classed as a squad action strategy title, with some sneaking and combat elements; it is played from a third person perspective.

The game focuses on the exploits of an elite group of Allied soldiers, lead by the charismatic Sergeant Jack "Butcher" O'Hara, as they serve the war effort anywhere from the islands of the South Pacific to the beaches of the Third Reich and beyond.

The 3D engine has been redone, allowing the players to rotate the environment 360 degrees and to move seamlessly in and out of buildings, submarines or planes. You can even go underwater for some missions and you have the ability to zoom in and out of the environments.

New options in gameplay include stealing enemy uniforms and weapons, climbing and swinging from cables, jumping from windows and utilizing vehicles.

There are now no less than nine commandos to control, including the green beret, sniper, demolitions expert, seductress, thief and even a dog! The game will challenge the player to put them to good use in ten missions that span nine different environments in both night and day conditions and with realistic weather effects.

Easy kills

Always try a stealthy approach rather then using guns. If you are using the Green Beret, you can sneak up on the enemy and cut him. Remember to pick up his items. This will not alert other soldiers unless the "sound bubble" appears, which is rare. A good tip for handling many soldiers with only a gun is to use the guard vision. Guard vision will place your shooting range in front of you. If an enemy soldier goes onto that vision range, the enemy will be killed as fast as possible. This is a useful method and it does not matter how skilled you are at shooting in the game. The CPU will always do better.
