Insurgency

dreamers75

had the pleasure of being gifted this game today after hmmming and hawing about buying it all year.

Its the mod remade in the latest source engine, has a few issues but its Raven Shield/Swat4 for the modern era.

Really good hardcore type of FPS ( you dont get kill confirmations...you just know).

Well worth a purchase.

GaelLords have a server running now. It's set to default PvP mapcycle in order to make it compliant with the match making system so the server is usually populated. Admins have the ability to ban people (a big problem with default settings is that you normally can't vote ban trolls). We try to keep it on game modes that give you reasonably fast respawns so we can learn the maps but the PvP mapcycle can sometimes force us onto a 1 life per round game mode.

As usual, if you are on the server and having problems just hop onto the gaellords teamspeak server at gaellords.com

Played this years ago when it was a mod and loved it then but it needed a lot of work, thankfully its very polished now and makes a laugh at most so called AAA games.
Ive a few servers in my favourites running push mode but with a fast respawn so no waiting around which imo provides a better experience than default server configs.

Yeah we'd much prefer to enable custom settings but then you don't get people joining because of the silly match making system (same reason we ditched our battlefield server). Perhaps if it gets more popular and we settle on a game mode that we like best then we'll try custom. If you have any tips for game modes and maps then please share as we're still learning the ropes with this game.

Its currently my favorite FPS. I've played 40 hours of it in the last month alone.

ECO 24/7 TDM BLACKHAWK III server 213.252.49.7:27035

Its basically push mode with fast respawn.
Push mode is the original mode from the mod and my personal favourite but with fast respawn it improves the gameplay dramatically imho.

Pop onto that server to see if you like the settings,its always busy too.
admins are on often and seem helpfull, maybe they can fill you in on their server onfig.

Hard to disagree with you there but i just love realism games so im biased ;P
Insurgency is realistic but the maps allow for total newbies to get a fair few kills once they dont run about thinking they are playing cod.
These fast respawn servers really aid new players to learn to ropes and both new players and veterans of the game to appreciate just how awesome this game is.

Is it just a PVP killfest or more tactical like Arma? Need something to replace the hole Dayz left.

Both



Most PVP servers you start with reinforcement waves say 5 for attacker and 15 for defenders. If the attackers take an objective they gain waves, if they dont they lose. Each wave has a timer on it so its not instant respawn.

In Coop your are playing vs AI who in Brutal mode with large amount ff Ai can make for a difficult game.

Suppressive fire is a great tool to use along with smoke and flashbangs.

There are about 10 or so game modes for both PVP and Coop, all of them bastarding hard.

I have a 2560x1080 monitor, and for some reason the game won't play bordered at 1080p, keeps stretching it which looks dreadful. Cant play for that reason!

Gave up on this game after about 30 minutes. Keeps freezing every few seconds. It's unplayable for me. FYI I'm on a haswell K processor, 8GB ram, gtx770

WhiskeyGoblin

That's weird. I'm running 4670k @ 3.4 > 8GB RAM > R9 290 Tri-x and it runs perfectly for me.


Actually such an enjoyable game if you get a group going, even solo is fun.

Could be anything, you need to narrow the problem down. Check other games, update drivers, verify game cache in steam etc

dreamers75

Completed HijackedV1 on Brutal with AI set at 18 per obj/counter

I felt a sense of acheivement with my unknown squad mates.

Problems are unique to this game. Everything else plays fine. Drivers are all the latest. Just thought it was down to a badly optimised game. Might reinvestigate my issues now.

jumbobreakfast

Yeah it's a standard source engine game so the min specs are quite low I'd imagine

I can run it fine on a FX6300 and a GTX 460 Game optimization isnt the problem!

killanena

If anyone wants to play with me add IrishRook on steam. I like to play it tactically with others

To be fair just because some people are not having problems doesn't mean there aren't any. Steam forums show a lot of people with performance issues.

Kid had issues with source games that installing 64 bit fixed, he tried everything on the steam forums and nothing worked.

Will do, we try to play a small bit tactically but are new to the game so we have a lot to learn yet. Getting to know the maps a bit better now which makes the game even more enjoyable

PVP and Coop maps altho look the same are different, much more corridory in Coop.

Was MVP in Gaellords server yesterday 1 grenade 5 guys

haha, could easily have been us but the server has been fairly busy with randomers so you never know. I was working on other stuff last night, jumped on the server late and rage quitted after getting a 4/12 k/d
I think the lesson is to not play when tired or agitated from work...perhaps I should learn how to meditate beforehand . We'll be adding an auto maxping and afk kicker soon but are open to any other suggestions.

Not sure I get this 100%. 64bit what? Windows?

I can play CS:GO without issue.

Cool man, I know we sometimes hide in a private channel out of habit but if you ever want to get our attention just send me a private message on TS. I'll add you on steam anyway

Hijacked V1 an Block Party are decent maps.

I'v made a permanent channel for Insurgency now - since we have a server up for gaellords.

I'll look into it but custom maps means no match making I think so the server will probably not fill up. I guess I should make it co-op with bots in that case? I don't have much free time to look into this but will try tonight or tomorrow night on a second server instance.

Anybody playing this? ive my finger over the button a few weeks worth buying?

Yes great game.

Spotted this on pc gamer tonight.

That PC Gamer article nails it, running and gunning and you are dead in MP or coop.

My only issue after 200 odd hours is that the AI never dig in, the humans always dig in. Would like the AI to dig in rather than rushing you at every chance.

Insurgency 4.49 in the humbel store now, its in the gaming forum bargins section but thought i would put it here aswell

SOCOM mod, its prettty good but dont like the huge crosshair.

exec socom in console to turn on 1st/3rd switching, i dont like 3rd person either.

Its still in development but looks promising.

Wizard!

Got it yesterday. I liked it, although I played only about an hour. It is more realistic than BF4, however easier and more fun than ARMA3. I will definitely keep playing more with this one!

CruelCoin

I recently started playing this.

Its the first time in years that i've felt challenged by the AI in a game.

I do think that the AP/HP ammunition choice is a waste of time though.
Most of the shots you take are split second reactions, and there is no time to decide which ammo type to use (if you have different types in your secondary), neither are you shown in any way what the average protection will be of the AI.
Best they get rid of it as it serves no purpose.

dreamers75

Massive update and overhaul of the game, its still really good just look snazzier.

Robert ninja

I popped up on my library so it must have gotten Linux support or I just never noticed it before. Might try it this week.

Decent mod

The map dude made a lot of decent custom maps.
