    Got my Diamond rank tonight for Competitive. No idea what it means they havent released much about that side of things. With regard your issues especially if you had it during the beta have you deleted your insurgency folder from the appdata folder and doing all that fresh. Supposedly helps alot of people

    Bit late with my reply but, er... I've no idea why you're bringing up auto weapons - I said I love the Shotty and how it is nothing like Shotguns in most games that have flechette rounds spraying into massive AoE's - in I:S the spread is low/moderate even at medium range so that shotty users aren't restricted to being CQ to do anything.

    Above has nothing to do with spraying, praying or firing anything but shotguns, which are all single-firing :pac:

    Having said that, I 'am' experimenting with other classes, but being a Commander is becoming annoying - just had a match where the one and only person playing observer was pretty much intentionally trying to avoid me so I couldn't make important calls, or sprinting off to suicide as a lone-wolf, or saying 'negative' when I was asking for an Observer. At least when I'm an Observer it's easy to keep up with the Commander and watch their back, but only met one decent Commander so far who kept at medium/long-range and was extra cautious so they'd have much higher chance of being alive when, you know, you might want fire-support on the super tense final DEFENSE. Most just assume it's fine to pick them, die, and provide nothing else that any other class in the game can do.

    Haven't tried PvP yet - saving that for a rainy day as I know it'll frustrate me.

    Sorry i thought you were talking about the recoil, i heard via in game voice guys saying it felt like aoe weapon with all the recoil spraying everywhere :D

    I love insurgency and still have a server for the original:

    Kinda assumed i would be cancelling that today and setting up Sandstorm server, today is not that day.

    I think you made me re-install it :D

    Have had a few games. Aside from a few friendly kills, I'm not nearly as rubbish as I expected to be. Game is a little buggy (stuck on loading screen, random floating objects) but I like it so far.

    Got the game and I like it so far. Have only played some local solo games to get up to speed and sometimes it may take a second for the scene to render correctly coming out of the menu, or on occasion, my player model hands disappear leaving me with floating guns.

    I like the ability to kick a door in or peek if you so wish, or to keep a partially used mag or double reload to dump the mag for quicker reload time. Overall its good and hoping to get online with it shortly. I would like to see more maps as well.

    Bought the game during the steam sales. Picked it up for 23 quid.

    Have to say that I'm really enjoying it. It's a fantastic game with great potential. It's a healthy mix between Squad/Arma and Battlefield/COD without too much seriousness and a more mature player base. Perfect blend IMO.

    Anyone that fancies a game give feel free to add me on steam - The Handler

    Never got past technical issues with the original game. Unstable to put it mildly.

    It's definitely not like COD. Much more tactical and team orientated gameplay.

    On my PC with a GTX770 it was unplayable. Stuttering and crashing constantly. On my iMac just now I tried to play and it is stuck in windowed mode and refuses to go fullscreen.

    Game bought in 2011

    I think I remember you needed an AMD card for it to work properly.

    If you feel like paying to debug someone else's game for free go buy insurgency.

    Also, why add new features if they can't get the core game to function correctly.

    Its the half life source engine, calculators can run that :confused:

    I have to cap the original as it runs at over 200fps un capped.

    Huge update to this recently with improvements in optimization and a new domination mode which works very well for such a shooter.
    Also a free week of access for anyone who doesnt own it.

    Have the game 2 years and it finally runs!!!!

    Have a server up for Coop ( am still getting to grips with the lack of options afforded to admins......:mad: ) its running checkpoint and can only be found in Community servers (after the 10 minute refresh because of reasons only the delveopers know)

    b_560_95_1.png

    Also have a coop server up for original insurgency with mods(server loads the mods to you ) FYI there is a lot of bots.....the 35 is a lie!!!

    You will need a few players, they are set for 270 degree awareness and highest skill setting.

    We have yet to take A in any map :D:D

    Console release in August.

    Can see it doing well if it runs well, dont think there is any competition for this type of game.

    Just dont enjoy playing COOP or anything other than Firefight unfortunately. They ruined the game for me when they removed Competitive and the overall direction and development decisions they have been making the last 3-6 months have been very questionable... Probably in line with the fact they where acquired by a Chinese company.

    Have a few friends that enjoy the ISMC stuff, good to see an active community on the mod front.

    I used to love this ,it was my go to for some realism shooter gameplay but the community is a as toxic AF the last 12 months or so.
    Ever since the introduced the domination mode the COD kids arrived.
    I get my realism shooter fix with Hell Let Loose instead now.

    You dont see them in HLL,Post Scriptum or Rising Storm etc, they dont have their small maps running from flag to flag.
    The Insurgency Sandstorm map size suits them down to the ground.
    Its not a big issue in co-op however.
