The Hidden

It has potential, even though I suck as a Hidden.

with great difficulty my friend. GREAT difficulty

It's fun and all but...I find it hard to find and kill the Hidden guy, but once I manage to become him, I am found by other players really really easily. Am I doing something wrong? I was hidden behind a pile of boxes and they came straight for me! :O

Stewie

There is a console command that makes the hidden have bloodstains all over him, that and when you move you're seen quite easily.

Great fun <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Try to get into the large areas (especially the one with the boxes) and use pounce alot. To use it, aim up and press the button. It is pretty much the same as a skulks leap, except that you are nearly impossible to see and therefore impossible to shoot while leaping. Knife a few boxes or a person if you can, often the rest of the team will make a break for it and you can pick them off one by one. Your best bet when stalking someone is to wait for him to stop moving. Then you can use your secondary fire to kill him in one hit.

Currently, my favourite tactic as the hidden is to hide on one of those pipes at the top of the box room. Every marine seems to love it up there, but they all easily die if they dont see you there with them. Just remember that it only takes 4 smg shots to kill you, so either either stand still in a dark corner or pounce alot.

i have trouble playing steam hosted games right, course i keep getting internet explorer popups (i use firefox as my default browser) and it minimizes the game everytime - so i have to enter it again wich takes time - and is irritating as hell. Anyone got a method for bloacking internet explorer from starting/working anything? (i don't have norton installed, so no not by blocking it from that)

Like every female character in the history of videogames? Art can be stylized. Everything does not have to be photorealistic.

For those getting stuck... duck and jump. Only ONE person can unstuck the entire stack. Unfortunately, most morons just shoot their way out until this bit of joy is explained to them. :b

Hate to ruin your fun, but if you look at the media, the hidden's model has clothes. As explained, the light bends around him, so things close to him stay invisible, hence why bombs are invisible until you throw them.

wouldnt the light that bends around him, create a black hole in the area of missing light around him? wouldnt that make the air around him disappear or swallow light?

by the way, how do i kill those pesky ingame internet explorer popups for danish movies?

Surge

No I'm pretty sure it means the light that's coming to him from behind him curves around him and goes straight again, hence the blur. It doesn't make the light HITTING him curve away. It means that no light hits him. Thus, no light bounces off him, making him impossible to see, except for distortions from the curving of the light.

Thanks for the tip, on the servers I've tried its the first one to kill everyone else in the pile who gets the play the round. I must say I got rather good at being able to start rounds.

See if I was in the industry for making people invisible I'd invest in a healthy amount of Infra-Red goggles.

I go by the name Kevin Bacon in game, watch out for me if you're on a Europe server!

Venmoch

I would, but unfortunatly my HL2 PC lacks a connection to teh interweb.

SinSpawn

I found it difficult to play it, being that it was choppy plus the animations made me think twice...'Did i just knife?'

but there was one time I picked them all of 1 by 1, then after 10 mins or so I unistalled it, to put it simple its like

This mod has great potential.

You'd figure if the light waves were bent around him, it would bend other types of electromagnetic waves as well, but go figure. I suppose it's suspension of disbelief.

Plus, Predator owns just way too much to get angry at for realism.

EDIT: On a similar note, I did explain the whole "bending light" thing pretty well. I could've just summed it up by saying "No light hits him because it curves around him, thus no light bounces off him."

Gwahir

they've already had some success with a more nitty gritty way to do something like this, but certainly not perfect. They can place many many fiber optic strands to carry the image from one side to another. Several flaws with this.
(Don't blame me, my source is the Discovery channel)

Then there's that active cloak....

Necrosis

If no light hits him, how does he see out?
