The mod you are trying to view has ceased development and consequently been archived. If you are a member of this mod, can demonstrate that it is being actively developed and will be able to keep this profile up to date with the latest news, images, videos and downloads, please contact us with all details and we will consider its re-activation.

This modification is based on John Carpenter's 1982 classic horror film, The Thing. The goal of this modification is to change the way FPS games are played today. Instead of going around shooting up the place you will have to play smart and out-wit your opponents. You will have to make decisions on who to trust or who you think might be "playing" the friend. If you are on the other side of the table as a "Thing" you will have to do your best and conceal your true identity. You will have to trick your enemies into thinking they can trust you and destroy them when you have the best opportunity. The modification does not follow the events of the movie. Instead, it uses the setting, creature, and concept but with an entirely new cast of characters and no specific plot during games. For Gameplay information or more information on the movie, visit the site.
