Best way to make the Steam Group matter is to always hang in there when available for games, to show proper turnout and be ready for planning games.

This game really needs alt-tab support, especially given how long the respawn times are. The fact that it doesn't work in this day and age is criminal. edit: Btw, what's up with all this 'you're entering a restricted area' bullshit? I actually got this when going towards the point. Apparently the flank where I was was fine, and the point was fine, but the intermediate area was out of bounds. I got it later by trying to enter an area in which an enemy was just stood shooting at me. When I walked back I got shot. edit: Does anyone have any tips for close-quarters fighting? Even if I carefully creep around the building, permanently ADS, I always die as soon as I see an enemy, even if I click to fire immediately. I actually got killed by someone I knew was there, but couldn't see. If I couldn't see him, how did he see me? pisshead fucked around with this message at 11:11 on Aug 14, 2014 |

I only have a few hours played but I've found that at spitting distance magdumping from the hip works pretty well! Sometimes lag decides who wins up close though. It can be iffy for me sometimes.

I was just on a coop server and one guy kept doing "Enemy Spotted" and it would put red brackets over where they spotted someone. Was pretty useful. He couldn't tell me how to do it outside of saying "hit c". So two things: 1) default key binds are for casuals, because all default bindings assume WASD as movement, which is in every way inferior to ESDF. 2) the command to spot enemies is actually "+radialmenu". Unfortunately that means if you want to spot somewhere that doesn't actually have a guy (or you try to spot a guy that just got killed by someone else) you end up saying "Moving to objective" on accident. So I probably won't be using it all that often, if ever. I typically play 2x Red Dot assault rifle only, which means if I have time to spot someone, I have time to shoot them in the face, but I thought you guys might like to know about this (apparently) undocumented feature.

I found I can point in the general direction of an enemy and get it to mark them. It often marks people I never actually saw, or a different target than I intended. On the huge (sniping) maps it might be useful.

Yikes, some of these maps definitely need a rework, at least in Push. It's actually less fun to play that mode at the moment given some of the BS restricted areas and easy entrances for the defenders. On Market C for example, Security has a straight shot into the cap zone with next to zero way to cut them off. Also, maybe it's just the servers I've been on but are the player models and movement more janky than they used to be?

I've noticed the janky player movement affects the official servers more so than servers run by 3rd parties. Just try a different server if you land on one that's afflicted with the problem.

Everyone who takes Support/MG class is using their weapons for suppression and long range fire support, right? Because goddamn that's the key to most of these maps and pubbies totally neglect that. Also, do not throw smoke grenades in your teams face, thanks. Use them to cut off the enemy's lines of fire into the objective, and blind their good firing positions. Instead people use smoke to conceal friendlies, when it's really about blinding the enemy. Concealing friendlies is OK if you're trying to pull back but that rarely happens in this game. Otherwise you're just blinding your own guys. Trying to advance through smoke into waiting enemies is a suicide move.

I was on my phone when I typed that, I mostly meant to convey that having a low weight setup allows you to blaze across the map pretty quickly and if you take the back routes to flank you can do pretty well. The second part of that was if you ever run low on ammo, since your behind enemy lines it's pretty easy to pick someone off and get their gun.

So, do people play this? Is it good? I remember liking the Insurgency mod but my main gripe with it was the fact that aiming was absolutely trivial. Every gun was a laser. There was this one map which I completely don't remember the name of that exemplified the problem with this, but it was a push map with an open field in front of a chokepoint and basically the attackers couldn't advance at all because they would just get sniped the brief second they exposed themselves to advance or shoot.

It's still not ideal, but you can get some good gunplay. Unfortunately pretty much every gun is hitscan with the obvious exception of RPGs and grenade launchers. The hitscan is mitigated somewhat by a really decent aim wobble, low-ready free-aim, and iron sight delay. It's not quite as nice as the Red Orchestraesque gunplay, which has actual bullet travel and trajectory, but you can still get decent firefights. The laser-accuracy is still somewhat annoying, but manageable. As I said, suppression and smoke really important and most people don't know that, so you end up with people walking into prepared defenders and wondering why they get mowed down. The two biggest problems with the game I think are the sometimes janky player movement, and BS prone corner camping.

I don't understand the criticisms of accuracy. I've never been to war or anything, but aren't rifles supposed to be pretty accurate? How much bullet travel time would there be at the distances Insurgency is played over?

Well modern bullets travel above 1200m/s, Insurgency seems to have around 100-150 meter distances as the maximum (talking Sinjar bridge to Gas station thing or Hill to Sec base) Let's also take into account that most sights or shooting positions tilt the barrel slightly up in order to counteract that drop, it'll be negligable or about a couple of inches at the farthest distance you could shoot. Even a horizontal shot at these distances wouldn't have that much of a drop.

I think its also limited by the source engine as well. I do think that there should be a bit more deviation or weapon sway. It's hard to actually exchange fire at range that often. It might be an issue with the number of scopes.

New update, a few gameplay changes: CONTENT - Updated PVP maps: District, Market, Panj, Revolt and Sinjar - Updated Coop maps: Contact (Hunt) and Panj (Hunt) GAMEPLAY IMPROVEMENTS - Insurgent Light Armor now costs 2 supply instead of 1. Ouch - Now players can only carry 1 C4 even if they have a chest carrier.  - RPG and AT4 weigh less and now cost 5 supply instead of 6. Good, at least for the AT4, hardly anyone was using them. The weight is good but not sure the supply reduction was all that necessary. USER EXPERIENCE IMPROVEMENTS - Added anti-spam measures against radial commands. - Magazine and fire mode information is no longer constantly displayed. personally I wish it stayed up, hopefully this ends up being toggleable AI IMPROVEMENTS - Reduced AI field of view so they don’t see players at longer ranges as easily. - Increased default attack delay at longer ranges for AI. - Reduced chances that bots will suppress players. They must see them for longer, and be within the desired attack range in order to suppress a player behind cover. STATS IMPROVEMENTS - Stats authentication has been throttled to 3 attempts per map with 15 seconds between each attempt, to hopefully reduce cases of game servers not communicating with our stats backend. - Authentication state is now checked for server ‘stats’ tag. - Added server-side “ins_stats_status” command to print helpful information about the current stats connection. FIXES AND OPTIMIZATIONS - Fixed a server crash related to the AI investigation state where it was eating up too much memory. - Fixed auto-upload of crash dumps for dedicated servers - Potential fix for Main Menu not always updating in-game. - Fixed Mk4 scope alignment on M14. - More Panj optimization. - Fixed Panj (Hunt) navigation mesh. - Fixed not able to capture push A in Market when player is in prone position inside the black hawk. - Potential fix for CRopeManager console spam in Market.

Man, that +1 supply to Insurgent Light Armor really tightens my builds up Oh well, I guess I can ditch my sidearm more often than not. 90 percent of the time it's just a belt decoration, the other 10% it's there so I can think "there's a guy around the corner but my magazine is low, should I switch to my--" then die as the three guys I didn't notice get the drop on me.

If you're not running a strong CQB primary then the sidearm can be come in handy in tight areas. Pistols are strong, too.

Eh, in order to make them useful you often have to have AP as regular pistol rounds are defeated by light body armor as far as I know. Unless you have a magnifying scope on your primary, the primary is pretty much always going to be superior to the pistol regardless of what you're carrying. The only time I really prioritize a sidearm is if I'm going marksman. For everything else, it's like the last thing I choose.

I tried out the "nothing but a shotgun" loadout and it was great. I'm so fast that I can cross the big chokepoints at round start before all the enemy snipers are set up in their dumb camping spots. I think my biggest hurdle is resisting the urge to panicfire when I sprint right into someone's face. I don't remember the name of the map, but it was a King of the Hill kind of thing where you had to hold a building in the middle of a field filled with low walls and ruined houses. Most of the paths you can take are in good cover and sniping perches are few and obvious. I had a blast sprinting behind enemy lines, ambushing reinforcements and knifing snipers. I tried putting slugs and a 2x red dot on just to see if I could get more reliable long-range kills, but ironsights+buckshot still reigns supreme for most situations.

I really think it'd be better to just make it a regular, scheduled thing rather than just last minute stuff all the time, man... I think the ArmA stuff would've been more successful if you had done it that way (on top of what you've been doing). To be clear, though, I do 100% support your constant attempts to get a goon group going, though.
