Insurgency - Stand alone on Steam

[SeQuel]

Kar98k, anything else is shit

I preferred the Mosin

Lets revive the thread, I offered two keys to latvian and Smithy for 3.20€ each. I played now more than 160 hours, and I'm going to keep playing this game. But as Smithy is American, and Latvian is a lazy potatoe, I find myself alone firing my AK

If any of you enjoy coop, try VERY NOT FUN SERVER, it's one I'm playing on, great group guys regularly playing and custom maps. Fun stuff

[Xant]

Any significant changes since release?

If you didn't play the game for a year or two, yes it did change a bit :

- UI changes
- night implemented
- molotovs/incendiary grenades implemented
- maps added and modified
- smoother gameplay
- weapons added
- survival gamemode added
- Insurgent side got cheaper prices for Kobra, and all those sights.

There's a year sum-up anyway when you get into the insurgency menu. Pretty much everything is here.

but its very not fun

playing now btw

Played some Insurgency again, it is pretty fun, refreshing compared to everything else right now.

I just wish they'd tone down the lethality a bit... I think everyone I shot went down in max. 2 bullets, and I went down in one because of no armor. 4ish bullets to kill with assault rifles would be perfect. Maybe 3. But right now it lowers the skill ceiling a lot when you just have to get lucky once with spray-and-pray, and if you get shot at by someone who you didn't see there's no chance to return fire before you die.

Worth noting:

Last patch made a lot of server really buggy. Hope they can fix that soon

It's not CS:GO, you can't rely on shitty hit detection and weak assault rifles to get your kills.  The key to not getting horribly murdered in Insurgency is actually utilizing cover and using team work.  When our group gets together, we usually bring one guy with a LMG and another guy carrying extra grenades, you really have to work with your team to do well.

Yes, exactly -- CS:GO takes actual skills to kill someone. I don't see how that's "relying" on something. I quit Insurgency a year ago because it was too easy, I don't have a problem with it being too hard. On the contrary, it's too easy. And doing the exact opposite: sprinting around solo.

and if you get shot at by someone who you didn't see there's no chance to return fire before you die.

I think that's intentional.

I didn't play a lot but it was an amazing time listening to ISIS music in voice chat. Cross this game with wolfenstein enemy territory and you'd get the perfect community. No seriously it's really refreshing.

[Vibe]

I think that's intentional.

Of course it is. What Xant is saying is that it takes less skill like that, and it really does.

[Xant]

Yes, it means no matter what, you will die if someone gets the drop on you, and in lots of maps, they will. And, also, it means it takes a lot less skill to kill other people, no real aiming required, unlike CS.

Either way, still having fun playing it. I think it'd be a lot better with guns being less lethal though -- some people were saying that on the chat too in a few of my games.

[Casimir]

The time to kill is a a lot quicker with the average rifles than in GO but probably comparable to the snipers, although arguably requiring less skill to aim.  The snipers in Insurgency are what ruin it for me, thankfully they are pretty limited in numbers but they make some of the maps simply unplayable, especially at night.
