The Hidden: Source

[ExileLord]

Since no one else wrote a topic about, I thought I would write a small "review" on Hidden: Source or H:S as I'm going to be calling it through the rest of this topic. H:S is a Half-Life 2 multiplayer modification, so if you don't have Half-Life 2, you're out of luck.

Hidden: Source servers typically have a max of nine players. In a game, eight people play on one team called IRIS, which have a selection of weapons, characters, and secondary equipment to choose from. The second player is known as the Hidden, or Subject 617. According to the storyline of H:S, Subject 617 was one of the many subjects to genetic experimentation. Then one day, he escaped. *shock* Subject 617 has a wide variety of abilities. He is able to pounce great distances, see enemies through wall, feed off bodies, pin corpses to walls, and most importantly of all, almost complete invisibility.

This brings me to my next point. If you want to be able to play Hidden: Source the way it's meant to be played, you will need a DirectX 9 capable video card. If you don't, the Hidden will be hard to see if not impossible, and you won't get the view effects as the Hidden. It will make the game very hard and it will start to lose it's "fun" rather quicky.

Continuing, the game the first time you play it can be heart pounding. You will soon find out as you hear earie voices whispering and your dead teammates hanging from ceilings. You have to rely on your eyes and ears if you want to kill Subject 617.

Here's another review on H:S.

Not entirely true. Different cards make for different problems. My card's DX7, and the effects I get for the hidden are different than DX9's, but the visibility is just about the same, if not slightly better. I'd still play even if the hidden was 95% invisible. It's just so fun.

May I note that I find playing as the Hidden 1000000x more fun than IRIS.
