With the completion 1.4 drawing ever nearer, talk about Hostile Intent: Pheonix Rising is becoming louder and louder. As soon as HI 1.4 is released, the team will shift its talent and focus to realizing the vision that is HI:PR, and building it into the beast it deserves to be.

The HI development team intends to do to Hostile Intent what Half-Life 2 did to Half-Life. In Pheonix Rising, everyones' favorite aspects of HI will be retained, improved, and added to.

Hostile Intent was the first and only Half-Life mod where teamwork, communication and patience were vital skills. HI:PR will bring all the unique and enjoyable features of its predecessor to the Source engine. Present in PR will be all the features that we could only dream of before.

Players will enjoy a huge amount of freedom in selecting insertion and extraction points across huge and intricately detailed environments.

Warriors will exercise more options in selecting their load-out including spotter scopes, gas masks, binoculars, weapon modifications and after market parts.

Pheonix Rising will feature a driving storyline that ties together all of its missions and engagements.

HI:PR will not simply focus on small engagements as Hostile Intent did. While the game will still revolve around small groups of special soldiers, players will occasionally find themselves in the middle of large and incredible shoot-outs.

Hostile Intent: Pheonix Rising will innovate the genre of realistic squad-based combat by giving players freedom. The freedom to choose, the freedom to move, the freedom to think. Communication, teamwork and cunning will be even more precious than ever, in this most brilliant of mods.

When the time comes, what will you do? The choice is yours.

Choose wisely.
