I am positive that this game was released as a freeware, however on the official page , I can't find the download link, tha  page that I am directed to seems to be only about H&D2, although there are many other download links...
(This game is certainly too big for hosting, but maybe you could make a review like you did with GTA)...

I remeber this game but I didn't think it was the greatest a good game though, even with some minor "iffy" bits.

EDIT: By Tulac's post I was unsure if he/she actually found a download link so just In case he/she didn't here's one: H&D Deluxe Sorry if I misunderstood the post and Tulac really did find some download links.

Overview
Set during World War II, Hidden & Dangerous (henceforth known as "HDD") is a formely commercial squad based first and third person tactical shooter, somewhat like a WWII version of Rainbow Six, which was released (along with a slew of extra features: the Expansion Pack, re-done graphics and mod-maker) for free to promote the sequel, cunningly titled Hidden and Dangerous 2.

Note: The adware in this game is an advert for Hidden And Dangerous 2, which only displays when you have chosen to exit the game from the main menu. No spyware such as Cydoor is installed

Download it @ www.gamehippo.com

Very good point there Magic.  It would be really crappy if someone wasted a 150odd meg download only to delete because of ad-ware that is hardly malicious.

I bought this game, its alright but a riddled with nasty bugs, and often you can't continue a mission because somewhere someone you need to kill is hiding (or, due to the nature of the game, hidden inside a wall due to terrible clipping)

[PrejudiceSucks]

Indeed, or at the last turn of the last mission of a campaign, your favourite soldier is trapped in the limbo know only as 'THE FLOOR', in which they fall 50 feet into to survive, but never move.

Especially annoying on the missions where you couldn't escape without all of your men.

Also, the SAS need to learn how to swim. This is a BIG problem in the game.

Is it really freeware?

[Stroggy]

Yes it was made freeware shortly before the release of H&D 2

[Tulac]

Hmm maybe you could make an interview with them ,they're a small company, maybe they're more accessible...

[Stroggy]

Well it can't hurt to check it out ... however I don't know if h&D will even be put on the site in the first place.

I own H&D2 and the MP community is really dull, is this the case for HD1?

[snowowl0909]

I thought H&D freeware version has the game fully patched.
I played through the whole game up to where the missions of the expansions were and didn't find any of the "fell-into-floor-into-nameless-void" or those swimming issues.
The only major bodies of water I remembered seeing was the 1st mission where there was a river and in another mission where you went on a cruiser to I think get some hidden documents and plant explosive charges,
tho been a while since I last played it, which was when they first announced H&D became free/adware.
Actually since as Magic said there's only an ad when you exit I wonder if it should still be classified as adware....hmmm....
