it's a shooter somewhere between call of duty and arma in terms of realism. i saw a few other imps have it on steam, we should play it some time. i like it just as much as the mod, although they really need to realize that source is bad at huge square maps.

I like a couple rounds of it but I feel like your better off playing Counterstrike or something, for a similar vibe.

It has a similar tacticool feel but I think it offers some unique game modes at the least.

actually lol i keep getting kicked out of matches after 5 minutes with 'client timed out' and i googled it and there's a billion people having this problem with no real fix because you can't set steam games to never update any more. problem with that is it's one of those things where steam keeps downloading a corrupted hosed up file every time you start a game. used to be if this was happening you just turned off updates and it was fine.

Insurgency is a very good game that I can't stand to play for more than 30 minutes at a time.

When I play it I'm like Yeah this is kinda fun, except now I want to play Counter Strike since it's the better realized this kind of game.

It's hard to compare it even to red orchestra because it's about 3x as fast paced.

you can pretend you are playing call of duty in this game if you strip off all of your armor and gear except for a primary weapon. then get a foregrip and a laser sight and sprint around hipfiring like an rear end in a top hat. this makes the milsperg people who play this insanely upset, especially if its a shotgun which nobody ever uses for some reason despite being extremely good even at medium ranges

actually the shotgun sucks if ppl are smart enough to use light armor. only use the shotgun on night maps where people are spending their supply on dumb poo poo like silencers and night vision

the devs of the video game want you to memorize clip size for every gun and count the number of bullets you fire. in my opinion, that's pretty fuckedup.

or just reload every time you have a chance, counter-strike style. it's even faster if you reload before the gun is empty.

knife kills on the superspergs is the best thing ever. nobody in this game bothers to listen for footsteps or cover their sides so you just sprint along the edge of the map and come in from behind.

I stood on a crate in the middle of a map and headshot like 50 people who didn't seem to know where the gunshots were coming from.

That's what's so great about this game. The community is immensely terrible at shooter games despite playing a lot of airsoft IRL.

This mod changes the insurgent voice to the usual allah akbar calls after throwing explosives. They even have distressed or suppressed variations on the calls. I thoroughly enjoy it.
