Game Modes

In "The Hidden" there are currently two simple, yet fun game modes: Standard play and 'OverRun'.
Standard Play

a) Simple "Hidden vs. IRIS" gameplay. The Hidden is on his own against the IRIS team and has to eliminate them. To do so he uses a Kabar knife, "home-made" pipebombs and various special abilities (see Subject 617 Abilities Explained). In return, the IRIS team has a large arsenal at their disposal (see Loadout Selection Screen Overview). The IRIS team proceeds to hunt the nearly invisible 'Hidden'. The one person in the IRIS team who manages to kill the Hidden then becomes the Hidden himself. The round then restarts with the new Hidden. If the Hidden dies due to other reasons or the round time runs out before the Hidden manages to wipe out the IRIS team then a new Hidden is also chosen.

b) However, if the Hidden manages to successfully wipe out the IRIS team then the player who was the Hidden in that round will continue to be the Hidden in the next round. To give all players a chance at being the Hidden, it is possible to set the maximum of Hidden rounds in the server options. If the maximum Hidden round limit is reached then a new Hidden is automatically chosen.
OverRun Play

Similiar to the 'Standard Play' option, it is "The Hidden vs. the IRIS team" but with a twist. In this game mode, the Hidden does not have any pipebombs. Instead though he gets infinite lives. Also, when he kills a player they also become a Hidden. This continues until there is only one IRIS player left. When this happens, a "survival time" of 15 seconds starts. If the last IRIS player manages to survive these 15 seconds then he gains extra points to his score. The final remaining IRIS member always becomes the first Hidden in the next round.

heres the player guide which explains it a bit more http://www.infinitumresearch.com/main.php?page=4

so, was wondering if someone had already tried it, if so how is it?
 
Yes, I've tried "Hidden: Source" once...

It was fun for a while, but there weren't that many servers to play on when I tried it a long time ago. The little servers that were available mostly contained players that already very familiar with the game. The "Hidden" can be seen since it looks like the alien in the movie "Predator" with A. Schwarzenegger, where you could only see a transparant shadow moving across the screen.

For me it made the game much less fun than it appeared to be. The thought of being invisible and ambushing players quickly turns into the feeling you ARE very visible and you'll get killed fast. Since those experienced players know where to look they'll kill you quickly when you're a newbie player playing as the "Hidden"

You can imagine the outcome when those experienced players get to be the "Hidden" at one moment....................

I do say it was a long time ago I've tried this mod, there might have been more servers added in the meantime. Graphics look just the same as Half Life 2, and the maps look equally good as default Half Life 2 Deathmatch maps.
