Played quite a bit this weekend and I have more impressions:

- I think that the developers should set a "no clip" code for things like door frames, small inclines, individual sand sacks and such as you often get stuck on stuff that a toddler could crawl over.

- The main advantage for a veteran is knowing the maps and choke points otherwise a new player is on equal footing.

- Snipers! Damn snipers! Good thing there's only two on each team.

- Most fun game modes: Push (my favorite), Skirmish and Occupy (king of the hill). Firefight can be fun or extremely boring depending on the map as once you die you can spend the rest of the round waiting for a re-spawn that never comes since it depends on your teammates capturing an objective. Strike is good but veteran players might have an advantage since they know all the cache spawning points while you go wandering aimlessly.

Didn't see other modes on the servers. I suppose those are the preferred gameplay modes.

- A mic is a must for this game since teamwork is crucial. You have to guard all the flanking points so that two or three players can assault the objectives safely. Going all out in a Wallace-esque charge won't do you any good.

- Smoke. Always. Use. Smoke.

yea man :D

some games will sell you the unlocks for more than the price of ins xD

other make you grind it out in the name of "replayability" lol ins you pay for the game and you get all the toys from the get go. the skill level is what really counts with it imo. knowing the maps and how to use the weapon at its most lethal take some learning.

i uploaded a couple of screens on moddb last night if anyone is interested, same link as above :D

I got the game last night after finding this thread. I have a weird issue though, my player character always moves on its own. How do I deactivate the hover board mode? Lol! If I try to make my player stationary it glides itself left & I am constantly having to battle the controls.

Fixed

It was my rudder pedals causing this.

Open console & type:

Insurgency is definitely a fun game to play. The TBG clan has a dedicated server.
Use the Borderless video setting that way you can alt-tab out and back without hanging.
