This mod for Source is no longer being developed.
Hostile Intent Phoenix Rising (HIPR) is the Source engine successor to the popular half-Life third party Mod Hostile Intent.
Like its successor It attempts to set itself apart from other tactical shooters such as Counter-Strike and attempts to balance teamwork, communication and realism to keep a fun and unique form of gameplay.
"Hostile Intent for all intents and purposes is the thinking man's First Person Shooter. In Hostile Intent the player has to use cover wisely, conserve his ammo, work well with his teammates, use communication effectively, keep the mission at the forefront of his mind and especially keep his cool under fire."
