No way in hell I'd ever play 'yet-another-anti-terrorism-######-clone'.

Well, you're just a hater.


And we know that karma dictates where haters go...in the bodies of slugs and paramecium and such.  Don't be another statistic.


Despite Uranium's nubbliness, I thoroughly enjoy this game.  The only real problem I've seen so far is the serious lack of good maps - I don't know how many there are, but I've played the same three over and over and over again.


Needless to say, I'm gonna go play.  Right now.

Perhaps, but you have 10 minutes to tell me one major thing that this game has that is 'revolutionary' or 'unique'.

I've heard that it's much more realistic and has a stamina thing going for it. And then a bunch of other stuff that makes it 'realistic.' I haven't dled it cuz of my 56k. But I will eventually (maybe when the bugs are gone, so it's worth the time).

Tension.  The tense feeling that you can get playing that game...is intense.

ya but this kind of tension is the paranoid feeling, because its so quiet and any noise u hear u immediatly look in that direction, especially in that jungle map, and u also get tension when u get telefragged lol

If we can find a server that we can reg on, or tell me a server to join and get a group of us on, I'll play. But so far my experiences with it havn't warranted starting it up again.

Hahahaha.

Seriously, to believe that, it must be intense to wake up in the morning, or open a door, or go to the bathroom.

There's a great difference between "slow" and "tense", HI verges on slow, but falls horrifically into the classification known as "tedious". I refer you to the game Project 0, or the later Rainbow Six games with multiplayer, or NS even, if you want real tension.

Nothing in Hostile Intent is new, at all. The whole idea is CS, the ironsights was done in RO, the lack of HUD was created by some lazy git, and the bugginess... well. What do you know, there IS something unique. It has more bugs than your average Lithtech game.

There's a reason it's been called "Hostiles in a tent"

Its good.

But then again I still claim that Operation Flashpoint was one of the best FPS's ever. But for a start if may be ploddy but if you get into a major firefight then its where Hostile Intent really shines. And the sound is better than your average Terrorists-and-the-guys-that-take-them-out mod.

Yanno.. Operation Flashpoint, at release, only had one cooperative map.  At the time it was the MOST fun I've ever had playing a co-op vs AI war game..  The map centers around this Soviet Compound and you need to get in and blow some crap up (Sorry, I don't remember the specifics- it's been what.. three years?  Maybe two..)- You, the American special forces, have a jeep that you can't take all the way to the compound because the enemy will hear you.  You only have one man with a LAW (anti-tank)  and the rest of your men are packing strictly small arms.  The tanks are on a timed patrol, with infantry also patrolling the compound grounds.  What do you choose to do?  Go in guns blazing and you and your team are dead, most likely crushed by a T-72.  The game was tense- you actually feared dying (perhaps because of the higher than average load times or maybe the immense effort just getting into position required.)  Anyway...  needless to say the first time my friends and I played that game at a LAN a fellow named Guy stood up instead of crawled forward and got our entire squad wiped out.

It was classic.  Oh, on a not so off-topic note, maybe I'll check this mod out.  But as far as Terrorists versus Counter-Terrorists goes, I think Rainbow Six: Raven Shield did a good job.

I just got Rainbow Six: 3 the other day. It's the reason I haven't been on lunix in a while :).

Multiplay is a little weak though, people being nubs with the flashbangs and all.

I'd really like to see a R6:3 Game played with all lunix regs. People actually using tactics like the single player bots would be totally awesome. Anyone else have it?
