There are 2 points to my update today. The first point is very important to the continued enjoyment of a tactical game and the second is to welcome 3 new team members.

This is actually an edit to an earlier post because I thought it had to be done.

There are apparently some servers that punish players for playing the game RIGHT. Yes, you heard me. There are newbie servers that have no concept of what Hostile Intent is, what HI is about, and what HI stands for in gameplay and they are ruining the experiences of our fellow players and loyal community members.

I'm not going to name any names. I'm sure; after you read this you will know I'm talking about you.

So, for your information, Hostile Intent is a "realistic" tactical squad based shooter. For me it's more of a simulator at times. Now, if your a tango and your defending you ought to keep your ass put, don’t move and you better defend the objective!

The odd thing is it’s the players that know this but the server admin have no fricking clue! There are servers out there that punish people for not rushing! Can you believe it? I'll die before I let HI tune into a run and gun fest.

In Hostile Intent, if the situation warrants, camp your ass off. You heard me correctly. C A M P. Sit tight or move really really slow cause it’s your ass on the line out there. Personally if I were the last NATO left alive I'd stay put and only move when i knew it was clear.

And how can I be wrong? I designed the game!

Don’t be a server newbie and don’t show your HI newness. Learn the play the game. Then host one. Personally I don’t care if you pull your servers from us. I'm fine with that.

And another note. If you’re new to HI LISTEN to the veteran players. They will teach you how to play HI. Yeppers, there is a WAY to play HI and a lot of you are playing it wrong. If you see a D or a T icon in front of someone’s name, stick with that person. He/she will show you how to play and I guarantee you will have much more fun using real teamwork.

OK. I'm done. On to the "real" news....

Everyone give Quicksilver, JRandal and Aaron a big hello!

All three have been added to the team reciently and both are looking forward to working on HI 1.4 and HI:PR on Source.

As most of you know, Quicksilver is a leveldesigner and will begin churning out fantastic maps (on pain of death) and Aaron is a programmer with 5+ years experence with many different sorts of code. He's looking to expand his horizons and learn the HL SDK while working on Hostile Intent. He also likes being caught in the rain, long walks on the beach, and listening to David Hasselhoff love songs in their origional german and JRandal is an animator extraordinaire who will be making the new weapon model animations for our rocket launcher, DEagle, and mortors.

And dont forget our new web page feature. Developer Journals which will give you the lowdown on our daily happenings.

Ta Ta for now.
