The Hidden

    I haven't seen this yet, so i may be posting it.

    Maybe you already saw this long ago, maybe not, so I'll explain what the hell is this.

    The Hidden is a custom game mode originally created by M28.

    Gameplay

    -The Hidden is similar to a regular Arena game, however it is one Spy against an entire team.

    -The Spy possesses some special abilities, such as super jump, large Cloak time and Scare (causing the enemies to be stunned akin to Boo! taunt from the Horseless Headless Horsemann).

    -The Hidden is cloaked at all times, apart from when attacking. The Cloak slowly drains, but is replenished if The Hidden makes a kill.

    -Players on the opposing team of the Spy have a green outline similar to the ones used when coaching.

    -The Hiddens equipment is the knife (all knives allowed) and the zapper, being unable to disguise or use his revolver.

    NOTE: he's fighting against bots in this video.

    So basically, this is some kind of Vs Saxton Hale mod, but a lot scarier, you'll shit brix if he finds you.
    Also as you can see, the Hiddens health is shown to all players, and it's not the regular spys health, being more difficult to kill him.
    I think it's a pretty interesting mod, but the cloak time should be a little shorter in my opinion.

    EDIT: Gameplay vids posted in here, don't know why, i can't post them as separate coments :roll:

    The idea is nice, but I have to see how this works out in practice, considering all the spam that TF2 has to offer.

    Well instead of making this a standalone mod, it should be possible to make this one of VSHs characters.

    Wow nice, its a remake of the old The Hidden game, loved to play it, it has too few players though :(
    But Im not sure if this mode and tf2 are going to blend together, sentries will rape him instantly when he makes himself visible and the server will be infested with a large number of pyros trying to set the Hidden aflame

    To improve game balance I would suggest removing backstabs (like in the old version you couldnt just backstab people, thats just too easy for you and too hard for them always watching their back) and restrict some classes, maybe limit them (engie and pyro) f.e. everybody has to confront the Hidden as a scout.
    The point in the older version was to kill the Hidden BEFORE he killed you, there was no way to heal yourself, so removing all medipacks and restrict medics would be fitting.
    To go back to the video: Thats just another saxton hale boss in my eyes, like Pan said, not a real character set up recommended for Hidden mode, but thats my opinion on that.

    Ooohh... I remember that mod.
    Played it quite a while ago, was quite a kick but got really unnerving after a while. It was so hard to see the Hidden and you started to get so paranoid after a while. ~.~ Ugh.

    its actually quite old...
    i've seen this on an other saxton server 2 month's ago or something. and well it was way too easy to kill him. and the most ppl would just suicide when they became him. but if you would restrain the classes and no healthpacks it should be good imo.
