This game is pretty much dead, but every now and then you can still find a server with people in it. I just play coop, so that's the lens I'll be talking about the game through. Much of what I love about this game is what many would call bad design. You die in 1 hit to pretty much anything. Explosives will kill you, your zipcode, and every neighboring zipcode. There's one voice for each faction that's pitch shifted depending on role (Only 2 pitches, as far as I know). The effects of armor are...negligible, especially on the elite playlist. You only respawn when an objective is captured. You can't see how much ammo is in your magazine, ever. There's not much hud otherwise either. Some people will tell you it's a tactical shooter. Others will tell you it's hardcore Call of Duty trying to be more hardcore. I'm inclined to believe the latter more. So what's the upside? Well, 1 hit kills go both ways. Every weapon feels impactful, even if it feels like it really shouldn't. A UMP45 will reliably one-tap just as well, if not moreso, than an M4A1. RPGs flying by are terrifying. C4 is entirely impractical but incredibly satisfying to detonate. Workshop support and clientside mods let you tune the details of the aesthetic to your liking, from sound mods to covering the map with anime graffiti. The game just flows when you get into it. 2 hits and whatever you were shooting isn't getting up again. That feels like a rule you can rely on. Usually they're dead in 1, but 2 is a safer bet. It never feels like you're dumping an unreasonable amount of ammo waiting for someone to die. The deadzone mechanic would be downright frustrating if done poorly, but this is the only game I've played that manages to make it feel smooth and responsive. Learning it can be the difference between a quick kill or getting domed waiting for your sights to align. Movement speed is relatively quick, though there's no movement tech to abuse (to my knowledge) and sliding takes stamina. It's slow on paper, but feels deceptively quick in the moment. This game has been a casual go-to for awhile, tempered only by the lack of players and the congregation of the few that remain on servers with ammo counters and killfeeds (which I mostly feel just kill the visual simplicity this game has going for it). I won't lie, part of the reason I wrote this was out of spite for Sandstorm. But I legitimately mean it when I say that I loved coming back to this game to play casually when I needed a multiplayer shooter I could just jump into and play. Who knows, maybe you can find a good server with players on it or enjoy playing solo against bots?

The game isnt dead. there are people who hop in from time to time, yeah sure you wont see 30+ lobbies full all the time but those 4 or 5 you do see are usually flourishing at all hours. for a game that was made in 2014 it holds up very well and the gun play is fantastic, WAY better than sandstorm by a mile. the modded servers are fun with it being full of weapons and maps, you see a lot of comments about the game for a masterpiece being forgotten or left behind, if thats true whats stopping them or you from enjoying it.

I downloaded the game after 6 years of not playing it and it played as good as I remember. This games' lifecycle is obviously over. There are no updates and there aren't as many people playing as back in 2010s. You can still find populated lobbies in 2024, but there won't be much choice when it comes to server selection. The game itself is on the Source engine and it looks like one. The graphics are good and work for the type of game this is. They aren't super-realistic, but fit the atmosphere very well. When it comes to the maps, even though you are in the middle-east, they don't all look or play the same. They are simply good, just like the game itself. There's daytime and nighttime maps and I like that. The shooting is a mix of "realistic" and arcade. You shoot where your barrel points, not where the middle of your screen is, and the recoil of the weapons can be felt. The gun models all look great for 2014. The game has a PVP and PVE mode. I haven't played much of the PVP mode, but the few hours I spent there I can say it was alright, but not the reason why I bought this game. The PVE on the other hand is amazing. You have many different gamemodes like checkpoint (secure a point, defend it, go to the next one), survival (survive waves, get better weapons), hunt (kill X insurgents) and a few more. When playing checkpoint I always get immersed and feel like I'm really on the battlefield of the narrow streets, pushing each building, clearing my corners and defending the points from insurgents. Really amazing. Would I recommend buying this game in 2024? Yes. Yes, I would. The game goes on sale very often and you should get it with a few friends if you enjoy good PVE games. You'll have fun. Would I recommend Insurgency, even though Insurgency: Sandstorm is objectively the better game? Yes, I would still recommend it.

As a rule, I think most tactical games don't understand that part of the game is supposed to be fun as well. Thankfully this game didn't follow that and is pretty good. This game is like a mix of CSGO, Bad Company 2, and Arma. If you like tactical games, but don't like the boring parts where you have to load into the chopper or be forced to run miles just to die of starvation or a black pixel in a window across the map, this is a good game. Very immersive, looks good for a Source Engine game, plays well, and has a small but fairly active player base. I never bought Sandstorm after they cancelled the campaign, since they wanted their game to be more than mindless guns and shooting. And another multiplayer only modern military game with a bunch of cosmetics sounds just like that to me. Plus I also tend to buy games when they're finished on principle, so make of that what you will. This game is good tactical fun without the headache, like Modern Warfare from 2019 but it's actually reasonable to run on your PC and requires some actual tactics as opposed to just using the iraq war as a skin again. I can recommend it, it's fun.

Possibly one of the best FPSes I have had the pleasure of playing. Next to no bugs, good visuals, good sounds, ease of access to mods via Steam Workshop, gameplay that keeps you at the edge of your seat at all times, the teamwork... it's genuinely depressing that Sandstorm does not live up to Insurgency's name.
