INSURGENCY

Another tactical shooter that shows a lot of promise but has failed again... movements suck, can't climb over small fences and small stone walls, and graphical tears and issues, along with a hard to spot unless close to some one friend or foe system... potential, but failure... not as bad as that "other" tactical shooter launch thou.

It seems like a game made by a mod team... meaning good intentions, terrible execution.

IMO

I'll disagree that it is bad, I think it is quite good. However it is flooded with useless team mates, but when you get a decent team it is super intense.

EDIT: Multiplayer only yes, there is a COOp game mode built into the game, it's basically go cap an objective and defend it and move on to the next.

It's like Counterstrike with realistic weapons and damage. Smaller maps, small engagements requiring flash bangs, smoke, and microphones.

If you are stuck on a team that doesn't talk or throw smoke its not very fun, you get slaughtered if the other team has any communication skills. It desperately needs a competitive mode like CS:GO, as I have noticed people use tactics a lot more in competitive mode.

It looks about a decade old. Maybe only slightly better textures.


I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

played it yesterday with my TG fellows, had great games... good teamwork, didn't like being pushed for time but it was manageable... the movement and animations still suck IMO, but the actual gameplay is pretty good and tactical.
