So i was up till 6AM last night playing 'The Hidden Beta 3' and i must say, that game is fun as all hell. They fixed all those glitches from beta 2 that made playing the Iris suck. Now, not only have they released TONS of new maps, but they have also given the Iris 4 new weapons, and 3 new 'Pack' items, not to mention added another class to play as. They now get an Assault Rifle (with zoom if you want to snipe down a hallway), a 'Non-Lethal Gun' (Non-lethal my ass) that shoots a type of paintball bullet at the hidden which can mess his vision up (It's like having Vasaline wiped over your eyes for a few moments) and does DoT to him. A direct shot to the head from the NLG can completely FUBAR his vision up for almost 10 seconds, and does a lot of DoT. They also fixed the shotgun, it now looks like a shotgun and not a paintball turned shotgun with a giant flashlight on top of it. They added another side-arm pistol as well, the 5-7 from CS:S, and that gun saves lives! With the two classes, which are 'Support' and 'Assault', each one has it's own benefits and downfalls. For example, as the Assault you have acess to all the weapons, but can only carry 1 'Pack' item, as the 'Support' you can carry 4 'Pack' items, but can only use 2 of the main weapons. The 'Pack' items include a laser targeting pointer for your gun (note without this you do NOT have a cross-hair.), a flashlight hookup for your gun, night vision goggles, a motion alarm trip mine (Makes a LOUD and annoying siren noise if an Iris, Hidden, or even debris from the world crosses the beam..... The Hidden can NOT see the beams of this device, so it makes it good for a little early warning. ALthough he or your team mates can destroy the devices.), and finally the 'Adrenaline' item (this makes you run faster, and jump higher.... etc etc). They even added some funny voice commands and taunts for the Iris team. Pretty much all the best quotes from 'Predator'.... "If it bleeds, we can kill it" and "You are one UGLY mother fucker". Now for the Hidden. They now have added a new 'Aura' vision to make it a little easier for him. The Iris's Aura change depending on their HP, a dark green is at full, a dark crimson red means they are about to croak. They also fixed grabbing bodies as the hidden, you no longer have to keep looking at the body and hitting enter to try and find the right 'spot' for you to grab onto, you can look at ANY body part, and drag it and move it freely. Say if you wanted to grab the dead guy's hand and make him wave at his team mates down the hall..... you can do that, and it freaks them out ;D. Also, they changed the grenades for the Hidden a bit, they don't do as much damage (Although a hit to the face hurts like hell) they push more than hurt you. So... now i invite you to come be stalker by me, and have some fun. ;D
