The Hidden: Source Server Hosting, Explained

What is The Hidden: Source?

New to The Hidden: Source?

What is The Hidden: Source?

The Hidden: Source is a free multiplayer mod for Half-Life 2. One player is Subject 617, the Hidden: a fast, nearly invisible killer with a knife and three pipe bombs, who can pounce, cling to walls and pin his victims. Everyone else is the I.R.I.S. team, who pick their loadouts and have to stick together to find him. Whoever kills the Hidden becomes the next one, so every round plays out differently.

One Against Many.

The Hidden stalks the team, and the team watches every shadow.

Kill Him, Become Him.

The player who takes down the Hidden plays the next round as him.

What is The Hidden: Source Server Hosting?

The mod has no official servers, so every match runs on a server someone hosts. With Physgun your server stays online without a PC left on at home. You set the server name, password, max players and starting map in the panel, tune round length, rounds per Hidden, friendly fire, map time and voice chat in the config editor, type commands in the live console, and get full file access over SFTP and SSH for your config and map cycle.

Always Online.

Your server stays up when you log off, ready for the next hunt.

SourceMod Ready.

SourceMod is one click away in the panel, for your plugins.
