Post by: Doorman on June 25, 2004, 09:10:23 AM
Hostile Intent (http://www.planethalflife.com/hostileintent/) Half life mod still in the making as I understand. Interesting in several ways.
1: You must bring your weapon to bear before it fires.
2: If you get shot you die! None of this 'running around like a spring chicken with 1 hp!
3: You don't run around a 100mph. You walk unless you hold down a key to run.
4: You can go prone!
5: No HUD. No need for health status as 3 0r 4 9mm slugs in you will kill you. You cant see how much ammo left and opponents names do not conveniently pop up in front of you.
I reckon it's a cross between Counter Strike and Raven Shield. It's a 117mb d/l and installs into your Steam folder.
Worth investigating if nothing else.

It looks nice, keep us posted. I'd like to give it a go sometime.
It's probably very hard to play and change from CS to Hostile Intent. Maybe it's good to play it for a while and the play CS a bit as your more prepared for the unexpected and are alert all the time

sounds andnlooks really interesting, ill put this on download tonight and hopefully checkout it out over weekend.

i lke the idea of no health and ammo counter and dieing after a few shots.

Bleed to death sort of features would be cool. Leaving trails of blood.

get shot in a leg and u limp at half pace etc.

Soerted. Delete config.cfg and restart the game (it ctreates another one which it lets you edit).

Now, how do i copy my RZE settings across anyone?

It's been out for ages, and had major problems on release that I think they never really sorted out owing to half the team leaving. It's a good idea, but failed in the execution. Also, sadly people want fragfests not realism so good luck finding (a) a server and (b) a numpty-free one.

A real shame really - I'd been looking forward to it for almost 2 years before its release (it had delay upon delay, most of them due to the lead programmer being in the army and havig to go off to, like, fight and stuff).

Besides, coop Raven Shield beats it hands-down.

I have had a look. The main problem I have with it, is that you have to take aim before you shoot. may be just a major accuracy penalty would have been better. so you could still shoot from the hip. but I'll be up for a game if one is planned, to give it a proper run out

And the prone bit.

I wasnt that impressed to be honest. 2 servers running world wide and no one on them. Joined one of them and ran around for a while. Couldn't shoot though.

Well what ever.

Next.

I think that is perhaps a little harsh, hows about we all go onto one of those servers and see what its really like????

i've had a bit of a blast this afternoon. Good fun TBH. Sadako, you can only shoot if you bring gun up to aiming position.

It's nice to be able to prone, the guys playing were using VC and even though we had never played before it madde a difference. Would take some time to get to know maps as i don't think my calls of "I'm somewhere on the left" really helped my team :)

Grenades seem much better than in CS (but then again thats not tricky) but the maps I played were pretty dark (even with Gamma and brightness turned up a bit.

Overall good fun but I was never very sure of the objectives. it was hard work without a radar and me and another guy stared each other out for a good 10 secionds before we realised we were on opposite sides. We shot each other ROFL.

It's worth a play guys.

Mmm, the link leads to screenshots of CS Source Beta? If you're gonna get it wrong you could at least have posted links to an Elle MacPherson website :)
