Petr Vochozka, CEO of Illusion Softworks sent us note today, that they plan to release first patch for H&D2 later this week, which should fix all known bugs in singleplayer & multiplayer found in English retail version. In the near future, they plan to release more patches specially intended for supporting multiplayer. Czech version of H&D2 should have this patch already included.

Gamespot Review on Hidden and Dangerous 2:
7.3 / 10 = "Good"
Along with the lengthy single-player campaign, Hidden & Dangerous offers three multiplayer modes: an every-man-for-himself deathmatch, an objective-based mode, and a territorial control mode reminiscent of Day of Defeat or Battlefield 1942. These modes feature some interesting maps, but like the single-player game, multiplayer is marred by major bugs that can make it hard to connect, let alone actually play. Also, there's no cooperative mode, and this is a game that screams out for it since it could help you circumvent the many problems with the AI.
In a word, Hidden & Dangerous 2 is frustrating. It's often frustrating to play, and it's frustrating to see that there's clearly a wonderful game hidden amongst the major bugs, cumbersome controls, questionable AI, and other flaws. When everything works well, Hidden & Dangerous 2 can offer an immersive, exciting mix of strategy and action in marvelously convincing settings. There's a lot of entertainment to be found in this game, but you'll need to wade through a lot of problems to get to it.
