Hidden Source - Best mod ive played in ages.

Hedge · 7 Dec 2006 at 20:55

Last week i started playing Zombie mod for CS, and i thought. Hey this is fun...

but then i found "The Hidden" mod online and after reading up i decided to download it. Boy am i glad i did!

this is the best mod ive played in a long long time. It has the same new feel that CS had back in beta 5.2 for me. It just oozes quality.

I totally suck at it, but the tension when you are the only man left and you know you are being watched is awesome. You spend a lot of time blind firing, but when you get your chance being the Hidden, then you get to wreak your havoc on the other 8 players.

Basically, for anyone who doesnt know...

Servers are 9 man
1 man is "The hidden" (a freak experiment, invisible, with heat vision and alien style leaps)
8 are marines sent to kill "The Hidden"

The maps are small enough but brilliantly designed, when you hear footsteps or see water splash and only a blur you cack your pants.

There is atmospheric music and a lot of fun to be had.

Google Hiddensource mod and download it!

Servers are few and far between, but ive been pinging well and enjoying trying it out.

It's great, but best played with friends. "good" hidden players are vital, like ones who will taunt you with the voice taunts to scare your team.

Unfortunately when I played it a few weeks back there were very few servers and even fewer players who knew how to play properly, just a bunch of idiots TK'ing and stuff...

is the ip for it. No one was tking, and occasionally there was a good Hidden, but it didnt have the voice taunting going on. unfortunately

Great seeing corpses of your team mates strung up to scare you lol

this mod is great fun, but played at a small lan and it gets 10x better, hearing up to five people screaming as they got scared and all start firing blindly is a sight to behold, especially funny when you're the hidden

the zombie infection mod for CS is really good i play it all the time , you dont even have to download anything just new maps etc , in server filters in steam in the maps space put zm and it will find all the servers running zombie mod for anyone who hasnt yet.

When you kill someone, taunt people by picking the body up at smashing it off walls
