I really wish there was a way to explore the maps at your leisure. Choosing Practice Mode just dumps you in a random map with bots and I haven't found a way to just start a local server by yourself. There's probably a console command that does that, but it's pretty drat annoying.

Im enjoying this after picking it up on sale. But I think the only thing I enjoy so far is the coop mode.

Coop is great especially with a coordinated team. It's also great when you're the last man standing and the game decides to throw a counterattack at you and you actually pull it off. I've been trying to find a use for the shotgun slug shells. They're not useless in CQB but you're much better off with buckshot even against dudes in armour. The lovely ironsights, lack of optics and slow ROF kind of put a damper on medium range engagements, and you can forget about long range. I guess you could use them to hit someone behind thin cover, but an M4 with AP ammo will do that much more effectively and without having to guess the exact location of someone you can't see. Besides, buckshot can still wound and suppress at medium range. Just like in real engagements, however, you're almost always better off with an assault rifle.

Ive been just using the M16 with no sights. Its unreal how much better the Iron sights seem than most of the scopes in the game, even at "long" range.

This is sort of a problem a lot of shooters have with modeling iron sights vs. hollow sights. The real advantage of a holo sight is that it is much easier and quicker to line up a shot because you don't have to align the front and rear sights, as is required by traditional iron sights. However, pretty much every game models iron sights as super-easy to use, and snaps them right into perfect alignment for gameplay purposes, so you lose that advantage. They holo sights do work well with the shotguns though. Elth posted:I've been trying to find a use for the shotgun slug shells.

I guess you could use them to hit someone behind thin cover, but an M4 with AP ammo will do that much more effectively and without having to guess the exact location of someone you can't see. Back in the pre-release, the slugs could be devastating against armored dudes. But they modeled that out, for...realism purposes I guess? Of course buckshot still does enough damage to limbs that it's better than slugs at all ranges. So they're kind of stuck in developmental limbo.

Since the Steam sale I have been absolutely loving the coop mode on this game. Not for a long time have I played a game so regular, I've never seen pubbies work so close in a 6-8 man setting. Great gunplay, tense situations and killer bots. There's a new patch out today which gives a new map and grenade launchers along with other fixes. What a steal for £6.00 [at the time]

Holy cow, this is a hell of an update:quote:The most significant update to Insurgency since “Molotov Spring” is now available for all players. “Hunt” sees the return of the cooperative game mode of the same name - a challenging one-life mode where you will need to eliminate all enemy while locating and destroying a weapons cache. Supported maps include District, Ministry, and Heights, all with darker lighting and atmosphere to heighten the suspense.

Anytime I play with pubbies, I always notice how better the playerbase is than every other multiplayer shooter out there. They still have a problem with casual racism, given the theme of the game, but when it comes to actual teamplay and communication, Insurgency pubbies are the best. I just played a quick round on the new map, it's fun, reminds me of Red Orchestra with how it's just a couple farm houses and walls scattered around fields. Not as big as a typical RO map, but it seems to have more thought put into it. Grenade launcher is fun but I noticed some latency oddities that I didn't otherwise get with any of the other guns, things like hearing the fire sound again half a second after firing the GL. The bipod acts like RO a lot, except for a crucial factor that you can only set it up prone, hope they fix that. Jehde fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Aug 5, 2014 |

I played with a round of firefight today to test the new stuff out. The new 1x red dot is neat, I assume they added it in due to how players complained about how the holo sight blocks their peripheral view when shooting past close range. Didn't get to shoot the grenade launchers, but I heard from one of the players in the server that they are bugged and don't work after the first shot. The chatter on the server I played on was half irrelevant banter and half coordination but its good to see the game has more hosted servers than official ones. I hope to see some good communities grow in the near future out of the attention the developers are giving this game.

The bipods are actually pretty flexible as to what they'll mount on. I remember humping a SAW across the side of Heights, and moving from cover to cover I mounted it on car hoods, trash cans, busted fences, basically anything from shoulder to waist height.

You'll usually see between one and two thousand people online, depending on the time of day, and I've never had trouble finding a server.

It is a bit of a battle to play with friends. I want to setup a party and then join a game. I do 't care which side but I want us stay together. Also for COOP, it sucks that I have no option to form a lobby and do a coop game, even if it means that I have to host.

When you have 6 people wanting to play this game together, it is actually really tedious to ensure that we end up on the same team on the same map.

I'm really loving glad it's difficult to match that many people on the one team to be honest, I've done myself and three others and basic teamwork and map knowledge will wind up with you slaughtering the other team. Just play against each other, it's more fun for everyone~

Rolling around as a coordinated group of 6 dudes even in something as open and huge as BF3 or Arma 3 Wasteland/King of the hill is enough to dominate a server. In this game where most maps are balanced around 8v8 having 6 dudes working together vs a random bunch of people sounds terrible. I guess if that's what you're after then sure it sounds good but like I said, I've teamstacked in this game and it's pretty lovely for all involved. I'll reword my original post - I'm really glad it's difficult to match that many people together against people on random public servers, though I'd love if it there was a more serious team vs team (ranked, maybe) mode friends and I could join as a group. I just find it poo poo running a group like that or being up against something like that.

The new hunt mode is good in theory, but it seems a shame that all of the maps have an apocalyptic/dark feel to them.

This game is totes fun and with the heavy discount I was able to sell a bunch of cards and grab it. I played it a ton as a free mod a long time ago and it looks like they improved pretty much everything since then. Only problem I am having is getting into a cooperative game is basically impossible unless you go through the server browser and get lucky. Trying to just click it and hit play causes it to act like it's connecting to a server but then I just get dumped back to the main menu with no error.

I'm just guessing here, but I think there are servers out there that are broadcasting but aren't actually up and running... and the browser (and likely the instant play function) doesn't know how to cull them, so when you try to connect to them, it just aborts without telling you why. Check out the actual server browser and you'll see games that are up that have zero tags. That's actually impossible because at the very least the game is to have one of the following tags: "mm:pvp" or "mm:coop". I'm enjoying it quite a bit, because I hate playing these kinds of games against other people, but on a team with people against bots I can just chill and shoot things for hours. I think I might pick it up. Maybe the Steam thread might start a 4-pack run of this.

Let's get together! We should organize a coop party at 9pm EST, 6pm PST tonight at CTS Mumble, insurgency channel. Let's get eight people together, find an empty coop server and use voice and teamwork to have some fun. I will be there with one friend, so pile up.
