    A very good game although the lack of weapons ruins it a little, unless you play on servers with mods there is better, and despite being an old game the community is still quite active, at least you can enter quite a few almost full servers.

    Just bought this along with Sandstorm. Will return sandstorm today - this still has players and just feels raw in a good way - focus on gameplay and fun handling trumps visuals for me!

    I'm actually not a fan of FPS games. So the day I launched Insurgency I had a tremedous surprise. I began with coop modes which are really interesting by their diversity. I gradually got used to the maps offered by the game. That made me a better player because every time you die you have to watch other players' screen (often way more talentend than yourself).

I gradually got used to the maps offered by the game. That made me a better player because every time you die you have to watch other players' screen (often way more talentend than yourself). This helped me to understand the game mechanics which are unlike any other FPS I've ever played. The game directly rewards you when you master these mechanics. So you surprise yourself by counting the number of seconds it takes for a grenade to be unpinned, throwed and eventually explode. You learn how AI has been made, its behavior, strategies and weapons. Coop is excellent to progress for new players. Shoutout to the 'outpost' and 'survival' modes that really are fast-paced and exciting.
    Competitive mode is another business. You get headshot kilometers away, not even knowing where it came from. I think competitive mode is for hardcore gamers. It could also be linked to the time I played (in 2018, so 5 years after the game released). Anyway experiencing this mode was for me a tough thing.
    I actually have 350h of gameplay on Insurgency. Not to lie, the servers are currently barely empty in coop. What I do now is playing in solo mode in which friends bots are awful. I train to speedrun and use all I've learn while playing against hardcore enemy bots.I just can't get enough of this game.    … Expand

    But for gameplay, besides the occasional cheaters and laggers, it is absolutely fine. A no-bullsh*t tactical shooter. This is the only game where I feel guns have the right stopping power and range if handled correctly, but not totally painfully simulationist crud. Realistic, but still a game.

    There's room for many different play-styles, I my self am successfully able to run and gun, but then, if need be switch fire modes and peck off a sniper, if he hasn't seen me first. So if you want a tactical FPS with smoke grenades and fire modes, but don't want to get repeatedly killed by aircraft, exploded by personal UAVs or somebody with a mortar, then this is for you.

    I imagine it is fairly easy to run on most computers, but it could use prettier graphics.

    I think this is my shooter of the year 2018, and I do not doubt it will be long before I'm regularly

    A friend of mine gave me this game in 2014 and it was sitting on my steam library for months as I was busy playing COD Modern Warfare.

After so many annoying encounters with trolls and kids that just mic spamming, i took a long break from FPS game. I then tried Insurgency just out of curiosity, and boy I was impressed with the game play. Out of my 500 plus games in my steam library, Insurgency, the game that I got for free, has become the most played game with 1800 plus hours on it. Through out the time, I tried other shooting game like Battlefield 3 and 4, Modern Warfare 2, but the guns and recoils in those games don't feel right anymore.

    I think many negative feedback on the game is because people were playing it like they were playing COD or Battlefield where you can run and gun. This game meant to be played tactically with your team mates / other players.

    The PVP was good although I enjoy the Co-Op better. So I can't say much about the PVP. There are 4 different co-op modes, haven't played much of the other modes, but CHECKPOINTS mode is by far has the best gameplay I had on this game.

    In Checkpoints mode: As a team, you need to capture checkpoints and defend them from counter attack by bots. The process of taking the checkpoint is not easy, you have to battle through crazily accurate shooter bots that will RPG you the second you bunch up like scared little kids with your team mate. So you have to play it tactically and move as a team. If you try to play it Rambo style, you will end up getting killed really fast and you will have to wait until the rest of your team capture the next checkpoint, then you will re-spawn. This game meant to be semi realistic where there is no crosshair to help you aim, you need to bring up your gun and use the iron sight to shoot. You can shoot from your hips but like a real gun when you shoot from hips, you don't know where the bullet will go. You can have some sort of crosshair by attaching laser pointer on your gun if you prefer. When you play this game, try and find a good server with active Admin on it, although this game doesn't have as much cancer player as other shooters (kids that will troll the game and spoil the fun), but with the present of Admin will assure you will have fun time as long as you play it by the rule set by the server host / admin (ie: wait for team mate, no mic spamming, etc). If you are not sure how to play this game, ask around in the game. Most player are adults that will be happy to help and give you direction on what to do and what Not to do.

    In conclusion, give this game a try and put a bit effort to learn the mechanics and the game objectives and I am sure you will have fun time with it.    … Expand

    Insurgency is a Tactical and Realistic FPS.

    [What I liked]

    It is a difficult game, This is not a Call Of Duty here you can not run and shoot like Rambo, you must be attentive at all times and you must be careful, plus you should avoid going alone as much as you can.

    It's a pretty fun game, but like other games it's tired after a while.

    I like the way to choose the classes and your equipment since you must choose the weapons and utilities intelligently because the number of things you can carry is limited, so you should only carry what you are going to use or what best suits your playing style.

    The graphics are sufficient in my opinion and the sound section its good.

    The game modes also I liked a lot, they are several and they are entertaining.

    [What didn't like me]

    The weapons do not have statistics within the game because there are times when I want to have more precision but I do not know what weapons to choose since there are NO statistics inside the game.

    The maps are very generic and are similar to each other and I do not like them much, but they are not bad, they do their function

    There is not much pre-eminence of teamwork unless you play with friends.

    The game bores pretty fast if you do not play with friends.

    There is not something that makes me want to keep playing, I mean, In Call of Duty and Battlefield you keep playing because there is something that motivates you, getting a new weapon, a new skin for it, etc. In CSGO is the ranking system which shows your "Skill" and makes you want to continue playing to raise the rank and play against better players. In Insurgency, on the other hand, there is nothing that motivates me to continue playing beyond being fun.

    -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------

    The game is a combination of Battlefield with Arma3 and CSGO but has its own essence does not feel like a copy of any of this games.

    Insurgency takes the good elements of more realistic and tactful games like Arma and Red Orchestra 2 and removes the massive maps and endless walking, delivering a fast-paced, intelligent FPS game unlike anything in the market. NOTE: Do not be afraid to buy this on 2017, the community is still pretty active and will remain so until the sequel, Insurgency: Sandstorm, is released in 2018.

Most guns can kill you in 1-3 shots forcing you to think about how you are going to get the jump on your enemy rather than trying to take them head on. The maps are very well designed and atmospheric. Unfortunately, The game modes are kinda similar to one another and only a few are actually fun. The new Vietnam War mod (Born to Kill) is incredibly well done and worth checking out. Despite these features I think that $10 is a bit pricey.

Also the game is populated and you can easly find a game/server or people to play with at least for now (Number of concurrent players in-game vary from 1000 to arround 2500+ per day without an event in progress like a discount or something).

The maps are fantastic. The night maps WILL blow you away the first time you play them just make sure to equip night vision goggles or a flashlight because in this game youll need it. A no brainer if youre a fan of tactical/realistic/military first person shooters. Really is an engrossing experience that makes you FEEL like you are a part of a military force. 10/10… Expand

And there is no kill feed too, some servers have this, but most don't, so you won't know who and from where you've been shot. The HUD only displays the objectives, team respawns, and number of magazines. If you aren't wearing armor, most guns will kill you in a few shots, so you have to be careful. There are roles in Insurgency and all of them has unique weapons. Instead of buying weapons, we can choose weapons and put extensions on them depending on your weapon points and role. Sometimes, when playing in team insurgents, some players will role play a little bit too hard. Most of the people I've played with are quite friendly and will work together. Though there is a lack of servers and a minor technical problem with the game. Every time I try to close Insurgency in my computer, I have to use the task manager because when I press quit, the game freezes. But it doesn't interfere with the gameplay. In summary, Insurgency is a unique tactical shooter that relies on teamwork and tactics. I really recommend this game.… Expand

Bullets seem more dangerous than in any other game, with sharp cracks and a very decent suppression system. Your character actually reacts to being shot at and seeing allies going down, which makes the entire fight seem a whole lot more engaging and personal, especially when you hear the fear in your character's voice as a squad member gets shot right in front of you.

    This game punishes you for using traditional twitch-shooter mechanics: There's no drop-shotting or quick scoping here. Instead, the game encourages you to work as a team and actually use the response wheel, which can be used to announce a whole lot of useful things such as spotting an enemy or telling your team quickly that you need to suppress an area or to spread out. Not only does this come up in the bottom of the screen but your character actually SPEAKS the line, which is a nice touch. Game play is a lot slower than most shooters; more like Red Orchestra than Battlefield.

    The community mainly consists of older guys, mainly 18+, and although everyone laughs and jokes around in the lobby screen everyone gets very serious and tactical in game. Even when I see a younger person on the game, they all seem to be very tame compared to, say, the CoD community.

    Overall, this game is brilliantly made and for a relatively cheap price tag you can pick up hours of fun. See you guys on the battlefield.    … Expand

Bullets flew over my head, my teammates died while I was hiding behind covers, tried to stay alive between strong explosions, heard unending gunfire, used every piece of cover to save my life and died a lot. After two hours I was able to lurk dark corners of the map, leaned behind covers to shot my enemy before he shot me and tricked the enemy in anyway I can. But it's very hard to master this game. You need your teammates to succeed on your missions. Moving together, using formations correctly, and maintaining 360 degree security for the team are vital parts of success. Getting familiar with game maps is another important factor for success. You have to know where your weak points are while you're attacking or defending objective zones. Experienced lone wolves infiltrate behind enemy lines to hunt their targets one by one. So if you want to be successful explore maps as quickly as possible. Shooting mechanics feels good and realistic. Maps designs are very good and well optimized to balance tension between teams. Graphics can't compete with its counterparts but they are decent. Sound effects are great. If developers continue like this, this can be the best FPS game of all the time in the coming years.    … Expand

    Insurgency doesn't BS you by making you level up guns to unlock attachments. Everyone gets an allocated amount of supply points to modify their loadouts freely, at spawn. Want a optic site? You got one. Want to carry a molotov instead of grenade? You got it. Want heavy armor? Sure. You pick your own loadouts based on your preferences. This adds a tremendous amount of variation in the loadouts that you can create.

    Insurgency is a solid tactical-shooter that will remind you of the good times when everyone was playing Counter Strike and modern FPS games like COD were non-existent, good old times.

    One of the best things about Insurgency is the fact that you die quick, very quick, If the enemy spots you, you are dead, period. The same happens if you won’t cooperate with your teammates or wander too    Insurgency is a solid tactical-shooter that will remind you of the good times when everyone was playing Counter Strike and modern FPS games like COD were non-existent, good old times.

    One of the best things about Insurgency is the fact that you die quick, very quick, If the enemy spots you, you are dead, period. The same happens if you won’t cooperate with your teammates or wander too far across the map. Teamwork is key in this game, so you better find a bunch of friends that you can play it with, or at least get a mic and a solid pair of headphones because without them, you are in huge trouble. At first, you probably won’t notice who killed you because this is a very tactical game, everyone is hiding and waiting for the perfect moment to approach. Insurgency will appeal to the kind of players who love tactical shooters with steep learning curve, sort of like in Counter Strike 1.6.

    Insurgency started off as one of the most popular Half-Life 2 mods, but you probably already know that, because most people that I know already played Insurgency before, as in the HF2 mod. It was downloaded over a million times ,and received the Player’s Choice 2007 Mod of the Year award from ModDB which is a huge honor and I’m happy that this game got released. Even though the game runs on Valve’s Source Engine, it still looks and feels like a fully fledged release. Personally, I was expecting much less from this game, but I was pleased to see that the developer(New World Interactive) actually took the time and made it worth a while.

    The best way to describe Insgurgency’s gameplay is quite difficult, it’s a mix between Counter Strike and Red Orchestra, the reason why I’m saying that is because throughout my time with this game I felt like I’m playing a solid tactical-shooter, it reminded me of the time when everyone played CS 1.6 which is a good thing, you have access to everything, you don’t need to unlock weapons or perks, this is an old school tactical-shooter and I love it.. For those uninitiated with the world of tactical shooters, the gameplay is highly dependent upon you sticking close to your teammates, and taking control of the objectives. Most of the game’s maps are perfect for this kind of gameplay style, small maps with many vantage points for long-range shooting and much more, you’ll really appreciate the work that the developers put into the maps. The fact that the game supports up to 32 players, I have never encountered a camper during an online match, which is surprising because at first I thought everyone is just going to hide behind the cover but no, majority of players cooperate with each other, I have also noticed that the community is very supportive, this makes the online experience very enjoyable.

    The feel of weapons in Insurgency is spot on. Each gun in the game, has its own advantages and disadvantages, and they all handle differently. This is how you supposed to program guns in an online multiplayer game, I’m talking to you Call Of Duty. You can also add different attachments to your weapons, for ex. penetrating ammo, scope and many more. The Supplies system gives you a limited number of points which prevents the player from adding all of the attachments to their weapons, for ex. adding a penetrating ammo will cost you 3 points and you have 10 in total(I’m not sure about the precise number).

    What I love the most about this game is how difficult it is, and how it focuses upon tactical play and cooperation with your teammates, I haven’t seen a game like Insurgency for a long time(except for CS:GO), We need more games like Insurgency, and less of the COD, modern-military bulls**t that we are overwhelmed with nowadays.    … Expand

Well, Insurgency even takes the next step and offers a lot of DLC for free (including the newest DLC: Nightfall [15.11.2014]).
    The basic controls in the game are pretty easy to learn (You can also try the tutorial), but as soon as you enter the world of multiplayer the game begins to shine. The first steps into this game are brutal and hard to climb - thanks to the 2 bullet kill and the most minimalistic HUD I have ever seen in any First Person Shooter - , but as soon as you learn how to move, how to shoot (single-shot mode usually) and how to play with your team to win the objective Insurgency starts to shine with its intense firefights.
    If you are tired of using the same gun over and over just to unlock fancy scopes, silencers or camos, then go play Insurgency. The game gives you the full arsenal of guns directly at the start of the game - They are bound to different classes. Teamplay is guaranteed by the 2-Squad system consisting of multiple different classes - Every class feels unique.
    Insurgency is a game for casual and experienced players. Get to know a wide variety of guns, maps and game-modes, including multiple Coop mode versus Bots.
    Go get Insurgency if you like tactical and hard shooters with easier controls than Arma and Red Orchestra!    … Expand

    The maps are well designed and very immersive with numerous routes to objectives.

    The AI is incredible! During my first game, I thought I was playing against players who were online. I also love the way the AI increases in number and difficulty as more players join your squad.

    The graphics are good enough and give a great all-round, authentic experience. Night missions are fantastic and very challenging.

    The surround sound with a gaming headset is awesome. One is able to spatially place sounds around one's self while playing, particularly moving enemies.

    I too, made an account to write this review. (And to show off my sick rhymes)

    Basically - Insurgency is the game to play if you want something a lot more serious than COD, less chaotic than Battlefield, and not as skill-based as Counter Strike.

    Basically - Insurgency is the game to play if you want something a lot more serious than COD, less chaotic than Battlefield, and not as skill-based as Counter Strike.

    For me, Insurgency isn't the type of game I sink hours into every day. It's the type of game I play every few days, knowing I'll still have fun when I do. Sometimes I go a few months without playing, and when I come back, there's always new content.

    This game caters towards semi-casual to hyper-hardcore gamers. Insurgency in my opinion, has a bit of morbid humor to it. I can get super sweaty when trying to hold a capture point when I'm the only person left alive, or I can laugh my ass off when my teammate yelps as he's shot in the face. Best of both worlds!

    Insurgency is a game with a small community, which I love. You can hop into a random match, and recognize half of your teammates since you played with them last week. There is a little mic spam, and people yelling "ALLAHU AKBAR" before each match, but it only makes it a bit more immersive.

    The dev's are active. Recently, they added another free DLC which contains a proper nightmode.

    I'm giving it a 10. Not just because I enjoy this game, but because anyone else can as well.

    I paid $15 for the game in January, it was worth it then. As of right now, it's still $15.
    Also, it's made on the Source engine, meaning it'll run on a TI-84 (not really, but almost)

    If you like FPS's at all, then skip going to Subway for lunch tomorrow, and get this game instead.    … Expand

    Insurgency is a tactical first person shooter that allows you to take action with your friends or team in close quarter or long range fights over a series of game modes.

The gameplay is very fluid and works well for most situations, you also have the ability to peak around corners that also gives you more ways to play tactically. The only down side to the gameplay is that sometimes you will get stuck on the environment or your bullets end up hitting object masks instead of the enemy.

    Character Models in the game are also not polished but are still being worked on and you can see a great difference between when the game was realised and to this point in time. One thing that sets this game apart from other first person shooters like Battlefield and Call Of Duty is the teamwork and strategy that goes with it, a lot of people in the Insurgency community right now are pretty friendly and play like the game is men't to be played which in a result make this 10x better to play, you still have the odd people who end up shooting you out of spawn just because they "felt like it" but we have them players everywhere these days... The recent addition from the developers was the modding capability which allows users in the community to create and share there own content for the game allowing for the lifespan of the game to keep going.

    Content in the game so far if actually really good, When you enter a server you have two squads to pick from out of your team. From there you pick a position e.g Sniper or Rifleman, Then you get to choose your weapons that are only selectable for that class. There is also a variety of attachments available for the guns ranging from Sights to even what type of bullet rounds you are using. The kit set-up works on a point system so the more attachments you put on your gun the less points you will have to carry more ammo or have more protective armour. This system really works for the games environment and makes it so you don't have people running around a huge arsenal of equipment just destroying the battlefield.

    For only $14.99 (AUD) you get so much content delivered to you in one package and with the developers of the game New World Interactive constantly releasing free updates to the game which include new content like maps, weapons and more. I really recommend playing this game with a couple of friends over a Skype call or Teamspeak because it give you a much better feel playing more strategic and having fun, but if your mates aren't up for it just talk through in-game chat and get to know some of the players on your team. But at the end of the day there is no reason to pick this up if you are into tactical FPS's.    … Expand

I'm not saying that because I'm better at this game than most other FPS, no. I'm just saying, with the "realistic" damage and the amount of recoil, it's easier to actually get a kill: in a one-on-one confrontation. Put 2+ enemies in front of you and you'll more than likely die, if not shortly after while you reload. But, nevertheless, it's a good time with friends or even random people,most people play the objective and if they don't, they usually die and have to watch other people play better. I normally don't like the "get killed and then a forced into spectator mode" type thing, but in here it works well and really makes you ant to play better and better. The guns are great and all have their strengths and weaknesses, but most require a bit of skill to use. I strongly recommend to play the tutorial first, and to ignore all these negative comments.
