The Hidden: Source, Beta 3 released

[Sui]

Creeping forward, shotgun gripped in sweaty hands, team-mates cautiously following behind, you check your surroundings for even the faintest shimmer in the air which could let slip your invisible enemy's location. Could you fold the walls, floor and ceiling out into a flat texture, you'd have the perfect canvas for bloodshed. He's close, you know it – the battle for 617's life is about to erupt into motion. Again. [br] [br] The catalyst clinks on the floor beside you. It’s a bottle of some sort. In the corner of your eye, you catch a fickle glimpse of movement. The next few seconds will decide your life. [br] [br] What do you do?

• Examine the bottle.
• Spin 180 degrees on the spot, squeezing the trigger.
• Examine the scenery.
• 
  Run in the general direction of where you think the enemy is.
• Short, controlled bursts! Spot your target, then open fire!
• Hide behind a team-mate!
• Download The Hidden: Source, Beta 3.

Yay I picked the right one. The last one!

 

[63]

Good thing I have 2 penises.

 

[Vegeta897]

Not so sure about the pictures. You kind of overdid it, and it kind of rags on the mod.

Not that I'm a fan of it, just an opinion.

Well, they made me laugh anyway

 

[Asuka]

Looking good, going to give it a try when i get back home.

 

[Barnz]

A good news item with the choose your own fate kind of thing..

what lame text in the screen shots. way to show the professionalism of the site!

 

[Crispy]

(nice angle though)

 

[Sulkdodds]

I've got to admit, when I told you to do a Hidden Beta 3 newspost because I was playing WoW....I didn't expect this. :O

 

[Lemonking]

meh only UK servers , with a ping of 400

 

[omikron]

[CrazyHarij]

Oh My God

what lame text in the screen shots. way to show the professionalism of the site!

our dear suicide isn't the photoshop pro of the site.

But man, I can't wait. This is gonna be soo fun.

 

[Mutley]

Don't like this to be honost, still not getting much better gameplay.

 

[boglito]

link is dead, torrent anyone ?

But ofcourse!

.bog.

After playing on an American server for hours, they seem pretty realistic.

Noob1: "OMFG U NUBS R BLOCKIN ME"
Suicide42: "Woah, didn't expect that thing to explode, lol!"
GernericGamer6: "I got stabbed in the penis!"
1337Pro: "YES finally killed the bugger, lololol"

 

[Puzzlemaker]

Hidden source B3 is oh so very kickin. Go download it, all of you

 

[Inflame007]

But be aware, if you cant live without crosshairs, dont play.

 

[COALslaw]

Awesome, i've been waiting for this a while.

Best mod out there for HL2 by far.

 

[Sui]

But be aware, if you cant live without crosshairs, dont play.

You can choose a lasersight when you're customising your character... the drawback is that the hidden will be able to see your little green dot running over objects, and will know you're close.

I think you just made me want to try this mod out...

 

[Pesmerga]

Meh, it's really clunky, and I think the marines (or whatever) have way too much of an advantage.

 

[Beerdude26]

Au contraire, methinks. Although it all depends on the map sometimes.

 

[Unfocused]

Hm torrent - port 6881 is blacklisted.

6882 is blacklisted as well.

7881 (chose a random from the accepted range) doesn't give this error, but even though the connectionstatus is full, it doesn't download.

Any suggestions on which port I should use? That's the first time I'm getting these messages.

 

[Pesmerga]

The maps are far too small. Methinks some of the developers should go play AvP

*wants that game right now so badly, it's not even funneh*

 

[Gusdor]

AvP was one of our favourite MP games in uni

 

[Pesmerga]

Who made AvP? I forgot.

 

[Zeus]

I was the hidden and I scared this one guy so bad he started shooting like crazy and killed his teammate! Lol! That's what I love about this game you get to scare the crap out of real people.

 

[Lucid]

Great mod.

I love these one-person-vs.-everyone-else-type games.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Who made AvP? I forgot.

Rebellion.

 

[aeroripper]

I love hdn_origin, beautifully constructed map.

 

[omikron]

I gave this mod a try, and to be fair I can't see the hidden at all, I am not the only one either, at one point I shot in front of me as I pressed the wrong button and the hidden droped dead at my feet........... no idea he was there I couldnt see a bloody thing.
I think the idea is brilliant, but the game itself is totally unfair.

 

[kaf11]

I didn't give this mod much of a chance when I first got it, but I think with each release the team is getting closer to a great mod. Downloading...

 

[TheMastahC]

I've had some fun playing it, but it sucks that it will crash on me most of the time.

 

[Inflame007]

Meh, it's really clunky, and I think the marines (or whatever) have way too much of an advantage.

Use pounce as hidden, and aura vision....

 

[Sonic]

It's hard to gather opinions from people when they are so varied. Maps are too small, maps are too big, can't see the hidden...can see him better now. love this feature...hate that feature.

All in all it's a big improvement and it'll get better and better.

 

[Computer5k]

I think you need to have a vid cad that supports pixel shaders and shader quality at high to see the hidden. I rmember in the first release it was much easier to see the hidden with shaders on low, and i remember i hearing about them removing that because it was unfair due to some glitch.

I'll give this one a try

 

[Pesmerga]

You can force dx7 and the hidden is just a black model.

 

[Gusdor]

Thanks for that....you couldnt have saved it for a PM to the developers could you? Now everyone will force dx7 and run around. Go go responsibility

Incidently - Monolith made AvP2...

 

[Sonic]

Some people actually have skill and can play the game without having to cheat....

 

[CrazyHarij]

and some people don't want to remove the whole point of the game.
