No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way is a first-person shooter developed by Monolith Productions and released in 2002 for PC and Mac. Set one year after the original game, it follows British U.N.I.T.Y. operative Cate Archer as she investigates a classified Soviet project with the potential to trigger a third world war. The broader geopolitical backdrop involves mounting tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union over the strategically significant Isle of Khios. Meanwhile, U.N.I.T.Y. itself is operating under new leadership, with Commander Jones on vacation and Temporary Director Lawrie holding the reins — an unstable situation shaped partly by the revelation in the first game that agent Smithy was a H.A.R.M. spy. Like its predecessor, the game combines action-oriented gameplay with Cold War espionage, political intrigue, and a strong undercurrent of dry humor.
