Warnings

The Mac OS X version of this game does not work on Mac OS X Lion (version 10.7) or later due to the removal of support for PowerPC apps.

GameSpy online services have been shut down (see Network for solutions).

No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person FPS, action and stealth game in the No One Lives Forever series.

The game remains unavailable for purchase due to licensing issues between Activision Blizzard (as successors of Sierra Entertainment) and WB Games (as current owners of developer Monolith Productions). The game has no major issues on modern systems, though the community fix known as the NOLF 2 Modernizer resolves most outstanding problems, and is a recommended installation on modern systems.

-{{--}} The in-game menus do not stretch and have some cropping at the bottom of the screen in widescreen resolutions. There are slight text-alignment problems with the in-game menus in certain aspect ratios.
-{{--}} In-game subtitles will crop in widescreen resolutions. The subtitles are unreadable in 16:9 aspect ratios.
