Insurgency - Stand alone on Steam

[Butan]

friend bought 4 pack so got it cheap. only played a few rounds but seems pretty good so far

also if your on the fence

Thanks mate, looks like what I wanted from DayZ and what I missed from all those half assed FPS of the past years in a box.
The graphics doesnt look as bad as they say it is, no problem for me.
The only bad point I could foresee is : are the servers loaded with people? Is the game a success in term of player activity?

Currently no problem finding servers (I'm in Finland). There's tons. Can't say how long it'll last, though.

I'm liking this game, would be awesome to play with more cRPG'ers sometime

Man this mod (or source mod) is old! Unless i'm thinking about something else.

You're thinking of the mod this is based on, the game being discussed here is a standalone on the source engine.

[Butan]

Well then this game proves that (like many other cool games) you can grow from a mod to a standalone !

The mod is on the source engine too :I

I never said it wasn't, just clarifying that the standalone is on the same engine.

Seems fun but I doubt I'd be able to tolerate it for very long.

Caved in, bought, enjoying it. Love the damage and the gun/bullets hitting stuff sounds. Character models are pretty horrible though, other than that, no complaints.

What is your favorite map and gamemode? For me it's Ministry map and VIP gamemode, since it's something different than capturing control points like in many other games.

Ministry, when defending cache A as security in the underground parking lot. Because it's awesome hiding in the dark spots, not being visibile and picking them out one by one.

I've taken to RPG'ing that spot instead of even looking

Loving that game. Tried it on a pirate version and powned bots, felt good.

Now humans are terribly more cautious about moving into your line of sight, but still was really fun to play.
I feel that knowing the maps perfectly is a very large debuff to new players, and buff to experienced ones, so at the moment I'm dying stupidly half of the time, wounding my teammates the other half.



I'm trying the support class and loving it, I really appreciate the suppressing effect of bullets in this game, like others stated previously, and I think I will build my playstyle around that.
But because of aforementioned problems (being a noob), I am mainly suppressing the sky and the ground and then dying to a good shot.


Once took a position that controlled a very long street in firefight gamemode, so I was being very cautious and sending bullets from my machine gun everywhere to keep possible enemies at bay.
Then I saw something move at my right and began suppressing fire. I was confident I could hit him if I persisted because he was in a corner of a shop which had only a few cover and a lot of glasses to shoot through.
So I tried to hit him/make him move by unloading my magazine consistently, then I began to hear someone rage about "hey stop shooting at me damnit! STOP FOR GOD SAKE!" but because we were like 15v15 I ignored it. Then since he was mostly screaming in synchronism with when I was pressing the mouse 1 fire button, I started to wonder if I wasnt suppressing a teammate all this time.

I was.

We won that round but I felt bad

A very pleasant surprise. It's like a good Counter Strike. I just wish leaning was a bit faster/smoother á la CoD. Camping is rewarded a bit too much currently.

Yeah that is true. I find that winning most Push (where you take A-B-C one after another) games is really hard, due to defending team camping (obviously). Super hard if that map is Siege, where you have to cross that big open road to get to A at start. We had to completely smoke up the entire street to not get killed while rushing there.

I am kind of sad VIP isn't played more.
