insurgency mod is out and it is awsome everyone go and get it.

would anyone be up for a game of it tonight say 6pm wa time. Anyone intrerested just replie and we can get on ts with each other and have a game.

Gotta buy HL2 off steam tonight, then will download.

 

How good is it??

graphics are awsome, sound is awsome,gameplay when ur in good sqd is awsome, its just generaly awsome, you just need to source sdk base so if any source game that comes with the sdk base will do, I have hl2 but i havnt reinstalled it so i just installed the sdk base because it was smaller.

Do you still need a steam account with the SDK base?

yeh you need steam.

Awesomo

Im finding it a bit clunky, it plays much like PR cept not at smooth

but better looking.

does that mod play anything like this?

LOL now thats some team/clan work there.

 

most of the talk when i was playn was figureing out what keys

did what etc...the longer i played the less clunky it got.

 

I like it.

Now if only steam would download HL2 at more than 50kb/sec

Steam blows

I still like PR better, but some of the street maps and the one shot kills are highlights of this mod. It does suffer from a few serious flaws at this early stage. There is no way of kicking TKers. 1 or 2 people have taken delight in killing their whole squad on sqawn and there is nothing you can do except leave the server. Identifying friend/foe is even harder than PR and there is no map so you need to learn the geography before any serious play can occur.

 

What makes this game really good for us reality nuts (1 hit kills) also makes the game extremely frustrating and unforgiving. Camping is rife and snipers pwn on the open maps where the US has to attack. Typically there are only 2 points of entry to a capture point which makes defence extremely easy for the Insurgent defenders.

 

Lastly, in PR the support gun is legendary but in Insurgency I'd rather have an M4 or AK.

Pfft what ever the support gun in PR is about as useful as taking your mates fully sick stereo system into your local government library,

The support gun rapes when used correctly.

I do like a bit of the old ultra-violence - the SAW allows me to do this.

It's pretty damned good. Though the weapons are far too accurate.

 

I amaze even myself sometimes, especially with games that have a decent netcode. Pretty much came the top of every single round I played in, yay for <10ms pings.

I'm downloading it now, looks good.

While it is meant to be realistic, its really not (only in the fact that one bullet will drop someone 80% of the time). It's very much run and gun - tactics are sort of important but you can still have one really good player take out an entire team.

 

Can't wait to get back into it tonight, its a good change from PR. Now if half the people on VOIP would stop talking about going and having cones lol

While I will say that it's sort of run and gun, I will also say that it's much better than CS:S and DOD:S in realism. If you try and run through the open when there is an enemy watching you, you will die 99% of the time. The guns are very very lethal (I've never been injured only killed).

Yeah, the games got potential. Hopefully it gets better as time goes on. I still had a blast tonight. Friggin hard when you first start and have no idea where to go. Is there a manual for this game?

It's in the wiki...good luck finding it there isn't actually a link to it on their main page.

 

Check the forums, possibly announcements or tactics?

Now they just need to fix those crashes....

And the unbalanced to the crap house maps.

nah i don't think i will get it i bought CS:S off steam and they fucked me over (excuse my French) said i had to buy the game... again? I think not, how much times must I buy a game? -.-.

well while the mod seems like it has potential, its just too damn laggy to play.

i turned all my graphics to the lowest possible settings, resolution on 800 by 600 and still in some places i got <20 fps. i even downloaded a mod to increase your fps by turning off everything possible and it still didnt work.

 

this mod needs some serious optimisation for me to even try and play it again. :evil:

 

Oh and btw, i can run everything in PR on medium settings (no AA) so its not my rig.
