Hidden Source
One of the first mods I stumbled across on Mod DB was Hidden Source. Hidden Source is a Half Life 2 total conversion and is currently in its fourth beta stage so luckily most bugs have been sorted out. No mod is perfect but Hidden comes very close.
In Hidden Source players start off on the I.R.I.S team, this team has the majority of players in the server and they are fully equipped. The I.R.I.S have a selection of weaponry which include an assault rifle, shotgun, P90 Sub-machine gun and a less lethal launcher as well as a choice of two pistols. There objective is to go off and kill The Hidden. Now the Hidden is a one man team equipped only with a knife and a few pipe bombs. By now your probably thinking what is this mod, the whole server versus one man with a knife. Well the Hidden is….Hidden. He is partially invisible, not only this but when you are the Hidden you can go into “Aura View” which lets you see though the walls and track the other team. This also gives you an indication of there health. Sort of like the “Predator”.
Hidden does have a few down points. As well as the shotgun looking like a piping, the tutorial does not work. Not only does it not work but when you click on it, it crashes your game and displays a few warning messages. These are minor issues because Hidden is a great mod jam packed full of excitement, maps and weapons and has deservedly got a 9/10 so far on MOTY.
Hidden : Source Beta 4a is about 152 MB including the latest update and can be downloaded here. It is also totally free, enjoy.
