La 4ème bêta du mod Half-Life 2 The Hidden est sortie *erm* avant hier. Avec ses 100 joueurs en heure de pointe, il s'agit du 2ème mod multi le plus joué sous HL2. Il gagne pourtant à être connu : que ce soit en LAN ou sur le net, je vous le recommande !

Le pitch : un joueur quasiment invisible (ci-contre, à gauche du viseur) massacre au corps à corps ses petits amis pourtant lourdement armés. Le changelog :
