The Hidden (v3)

[Exuus]

The Hidden will hopefully be returning for the next LAN - it's got a new version.

Some of the highlights:

- New maps
- Very scary atmosphere
- No more crashes or 20 minute wait times! Yaaaay!

IRIS aka "Smart Meat Supply"

With a much stronger emphasis on teamwork the IRIS team returns with lots of new toys.

- Now has 2 classes to choose from - Assault and Support
- New weapons (F2000 and a poison paintball gun type thing)
- Addons for weapons - lasers, night vision, torches, trip alarms
- Ability for support to hand out ammo
- Radio commands

Subject 617

Everyones favorite bouncy psycho returns with a few new tricks

- He can now stand still and see through walls and see the health of IRIS members (No matter where you go, he knows you're there)
- Pouncing and gripping to walls has been improved
- The scariest voice taunts known to man.


I've been playing this for a few days now and it's going to be perfect for the coming LAN. Having the hidden stalking the IRIS team while being able to whisper things like "I see you", "Turn around", "Up here" or "You're next!" really makes the game terrifying. That and the fact you know that he knows where you are, and which members of the group are weakest.

Remember, short controlled bursts. :twisted:

Also the hidden is able to skewer bodies to the wall, leaving lovely decorations on the corridors. :D

Thats a favorite thing of mine to do if the round time is something like 10 mins. Drag all the bodies and body parts to a dark room somewhere on the map, then pin them all up for the surviving members to find.

Either that, or just hurling body parts at them. :D

Was playing it today in Microplay at lunchtime, was fucking classy. =D

The hidden is now harder to see, especially when standing still, so there's a lot more tactics involved in being the Hidden in finding nice little spots to wait on people, whereas before the only spots that worked were awkward.

The F2000 RAPES the Hidden...the scope is classic for sitting back from the group and shooting the fucker as he knifes someone else.

the paintball gun thingy stuns the hidden slightly, making it harder for him to kill anyone or run away effectively, great if used properly.

The tripwires are immense for survival, draw the Hidden into using up his nade stock and then layer the area with them (hidden can't see the beam from them) and all hide, when he trips a wire the alarm goes off and everyone can spray wildly. =D

The F2000 is indeed a rape stick, if a little slow firing.

The hidden can see laser trips, and he can just smash the alarms. Or he can throw an object through one, set off the alarm and just run round from the opposite side. :D

What did you think of the spooky voice taunts the hidden can do?

He can see the boxes, certainly, but not the lasers themselves, or I couldn't when I was Hidden. =(

I didn't hear the taunts much, too many of us too close together + music right next to me.
