    Oyun gerçekten güzel, mekanikleri savaş çeşitliliği. Ama normal sunucularda oynanaj zevkli değil, çeşitli topluluk sunucuları da eksik

    Very intense, very fun and very realistic. Makes you feel like you're in a warzone.

    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!

    Another god-tier hardcore fps! Fast paced and fun gameplay.

    But beware noobs, you will be murdered.

    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

    This actually gets an eight from me, but I don't feel like reviewers treated it fairly. It isn't perfect, some maps are very imbalanced on some modes, there's cheaters and laggers. Missing too are expected quality of life features, like savable server filters, stuff like this.

    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 is a good game that I recommend.    … Expand

    If you loved the Swat series and the first Ghost Recon, Insurgency seems a bit like a mix of the two, with a bit of CS thrown in.

    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. When it goes on sale for $2 definitely pick it up - you won't be disappointed.… Expand
