This mod is intended to give players of Commandos 2 a new challenge, as Pyro (The people that made Commandos) are not making any more Commandos games in the style of Commandos 2.There are limits to what we are able to do, but with what we are able to do, we have edited the standard missions, and tried to make them more fun and challenging.We hope you enjoy the mod, as much as we did making it.

5 - Known bugs----------------------These are the bugs we know of in the mod:
- Game can crash sometimes if an enemy sniper kills you and you try to avoid the bullet.- In Commandos 3: Kill the Traitor, when the timer starts, the game can crash when you quickload.- Some clues will not tick off, but don't worry, it will not influence your gameplay or merit at the end of the missions. I wouldn't say that it's really a bug, besides, some of them didn't tick off even before (done by Pyro themselves), so, in one word (actually two and a half), don't worry.- Since Pyro's Jewel (game engine) seems to have defective graphics (poor programming? We hope not), it might sometimes seem that lights pass through solids. Although it's somehow much un-aesthetical, it does not compromise gaming experience.- Game crashes can sometimes occur, but they are due to the bad optimization of the code and have nothing to do with bad modding (at least not anymore). The game (and the mod) have not been programmed to crash randomly, it just...happens, so pro's could consider beating the game without saving, crashes might still occur, although quite rarely.- If your view gets sort of "bugged up" in the night missions when standing in cover mode (happens if you enter a building), don't target enemies, or you might get killed from the cover not working.- Unfortunately, till now there has been no way to understand how to correctly implement the countdown code, so if you want to complete the secondary objective where you have to kill a certain number of enemies, you will have to keep track of how many you neutralized on your own.
