    Insurgency is the best tactical shooter TO DATE. The gameplay is perfect. Everything feels like it should. Its intense, well paced and is just loads of fun. Its well balanced, nothing feels unfair or cheap, if you die, it was probably your fault. The gunplay is realistic and just feels right. The maps are well layed out and don't give one team an advantage over the other. Your loadout isInsurgency is the best tactical shooter TO DATE. The gameplay is perfect.

The gunplay is realistic and just feels right. The maps are well layed out and don't give one team an advantage over the other. Your loadout is fully customizable; from what type of vest you want, all the way down to what gun you want and what attachments you want for that specific gun. Yes, you get to customize your weapon attachments.
    The game has a good amount of content to offer. There are plenty of gamemodes (including co-op if you don't like PvP,) plenty of maps, and plenty of classes/loadouts. They're still adding stuff, by the way.
    The sound design is FLAWLESS. I mean like wow, this is Battlefield-esque sound design. The graphics, while looking pretty outdated at times, are some of the best I've seen on the Source engine.

    TL;DR: Insurgency puts Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to shame.    … Expand

    Insurgency is a mixed bag of everything that will either make you fall in love with or leave you desiring for something more enjoyable. This time, alas, I fell victim for the latter.

    Seriously impressive tactical first-person shooter. A welcome change from the Call of Duty and Battlefield games, presenting a slower-pased and more tactical brand of gameplay. For a $15 title, you couldn't get more for your money.

    Do you like CS but think it's too arcadey? Do you like ARMA but think it's too grognard?
    Then this is for you. It's fast paced on-line shooter with extremely entertaining gunplay and relly nice soundscape but very little else.
    But it has the Hunted President mode that alone gives this game one extra point.

    It's not a bad game at all, nor it is a very good one, I also feel that with time this game will get better however the core game itself will not change and after playing it for two weeks I am bored with it.
    It takes after the mod (obviously) in promoting close combat and attempting to make it realistic, one shot kills to the chest, realistic recoil etc....

    None if it is innovative and none of it stands out. This game in a nutshell is what I call a snap shooter, along the lines of COD or CS:S, you spot the enemy 10 yards away, you right click to bring up your sights and then you left click, this happens all in an instant, you move on to the next kill, rinse-repeat, check your KDR to see how good you are and that's pretty much the game.

    Your skills and how well you do are determined entirely about how fast you can push left click, not your choice of a firing position or terrain. Even if you're the first to spot, fire and hit him you're just as likely to die if he's got the reflexes. This makes the game frustrating as the maps are very small and corridor like, bottlenecking the players into very few routes all of which are highly campable. I tired of this style game play after the 20th COD game.
    There is an undertone of teamwork in the game, along the lines of everyone standing close to a CAP so the enemy doesn't get it, if they do get it you run back 20 metres to the next cap and try the same thing. When it works it can be fun but most the time people spread out across the map and do their own thing trying to get their KDR up, playing in a clan improves the game but when you're average round goes for 3-5 minutes and your averages live span is a quarter of that sitting in team-speak trying to get tactics going proves futile.

    If you want a realistic shooter go play the various of mods of ARMA or Project reality. If you're fan of CS:S or Hardcore mode in COD you will probably pick this game up and do well.    … Expand

    Not much to say about this game, and that's the whole point. Insurgency is just "another shooter".
    Its punishing/rewarding gameplay makes it closer from CS than CoD for instance, but the realistic aspect while the maps are small and very "narrow corridorish" (and not very inspired) doesn't fit well together.

    For its price, it's pretty solid but nothing memorable.    … Expand

    A great transition across to a standalone game. Continuous updates and a strong community make this a Multiplayer FPS gamers dream.

    Something worth a look and a little different from the COD and Medal Of Honours.

    This is not entirely bad game. Just the developers did not know what they want to create. I was expected a tactical FPS. And there are 10 character classes, smoke grenades, commanders and many other things... But no one using it. The only rule of the game is to hide behind a car and shooting to running through the streets.

    I like this game but I hate the fact that it crashes so damned MUCH. I have tried each and every suggestion made by other players to fix the issue but it is obviously a server side issue and it happens on practically every server on which I play. Until this gets fixed, I will curtail my gameplay and if it continues to happen I will cease gameplay ALTOGEHTER.

    The game is very realistic and funny,but there are a lot of problems.Menu is awful,you don't understand ANYTHING,,the graphic is outdated,there is not a progression like grades or points and all game modes are very similar.It's a good indie but not a masterpiece.

    Весьма спорная игра, относительно того, что я слышал перед тем как поиграть самому. Скорее всего в худшую сторону склонение идет больше. Абсолютно ничего впечатляющего в ней нет.

Абсолютно ничего впечатляющего в ней нет. Я это говорю не потому что я чего-то там ни увидел. Я это говорю потому что, там этого нет. Слухов и рассуждений я слышал достаточно, а когда сам взялся за игру, получил обычный шутер. Можно даже отнести эту игру в ожидание-реальность, это будет абсолютно верно. Мы получили ее с товарищем бесплатно и решили, что вот игра и в ко-опе, и мультиплеер есть, и даже одиночка. Но все это оказалось напрасным, потому что все эти элементы использовались ранее, особенно элементы тактического боя. В пример можно привести даже ту Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Она по сути ввела эти аспекты и игроки к ним привыкли, зачем менять это или использовать в другой игре. Это не усовершенствование, в этом плане нет такого понятия. Это попросту ненужно.

    Может она и могла стать для кого-то заменой, в плане такой игры как Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, но даже там все реализовано куда лучше, хоть и тоже паршиво. Такие шутеры должны создаваться абсолютным удобством для игрока, что данная игра не делает. Здесь нет своих новшеств, самый что ни на есть обычный мультиплеер с "захватом" и так далее. Опять же, если касаться режима "захват" то это все замечательно использовалось раньше, было уже применено и вошло в канон. Совершенности в графике и каких-то сумасшедших геймплейных элементов я не заметил. Может они и были, не спорю, но я тоже играл в множественное количество шутеров, и могу объективно сравнивать и различать такие моменты. Кстати в таких шутерах и ставиться упор на геймплей, надо сделать его максимально удобным для игрока, чтобы он чувствовал плавность при прицеливании. Вот кстати плавность прицеливания здесь реализована не плохо, обычно по сути, но она не испорченна. В этом плане можно совершить множество излишков. Слишком настроить, а то и вообще перестроить. Сама оптика тоже сделана хорошо, ты в нее смотришь и четко отличаешь реальность от происходящего в прицеле. Не много сложновато объяснить, при игре вы все поймете.

    Самый обычный шутер, с хорошо реализованной стрельбой и связанными с ней элементами. Если вы ветеран в шутерах, даже не запускайте, вам просто это не нужно, доверьтесь. Я тоже из этой ситуации. Ждешь чего-то нового, а получаешь хорошо преобразовано старое. Эта игра не стоит матерых игроков шутеров, всем остальным может и зайдет, но если вы только начинаете полноценную шутерскую карьеру, то начинать ее надо однозначно ни с этой игры.    … Expand

    Fun multiplayer shooter, although bland in the sound design and visuals. Mechanically, the game feels pretty good.

Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить.

    Insurgency was made by someone who’d experienced warfare for people who wanted to get as close to experiencing it as they dared.
