Part of a possible forthcoming clip montage for the Red Army, here’s a funny little scene from our recent The Hidden: Source MOD night. Watch it on the higher quality settings for a hope of spotting Subject 617 dodging in and out!
Note: I should probably point out that The Hidden during this scene was being played by someone who actually knew what they were doing, i.e. not one of us.

The Hidden: Source is a modification for the Source Engine (i.e. Half-Life 2 and co.) that pits a group of soldiers against Subject 617, aka The Hidden, a genetically enhanced experiment gone wrong. As part of a potential series of random MOD weekends, the Red Army got to trying this one out for size on Saturday night. We set up a server, which at the time of writing is still up and running, invited our friends lists and ploughed on into the unknown. Since most of us hadn’t even loaded up the game before, it probably made the experience all the more interesting. We did have a few visitors who had clearly played the game a lot more than us, which showed us what was at least possible in the game, but I think it would require a lot more practise to get even half as competent.
Here’s a short review of my own personal impressions of the mod.

As part of their little series pairing off various Source-engine games and mods, machinima.com contributors Xanatos and the Janus Syndicate set up a match between The Hidden and the Wehrmacht from Day of Defeat: Source. The Germans fare about as well as we used to. Watching this actually brings back fond memories of the original Aliens vs. Predator!
