Looks like, smells like and sounds like a great game about tactics and strategies.
I'll play it when my machine's back from the shop.

Re: Insurgency mod released...

The game is like BF2 and OR rolled into one. Really good game mechanics. Really good feel graphics wise, looks better then BF2. Been playing on the TG server with about 15 guys and it works nice, small squad moveing to the same objective.

Since its still beta i would give it a 8 out of 10, but that will get better once they fix a few things.

Re: Insurgency mod released...

There are alot of small annoying bugs(i.e always holding on to a smoke grenade), but still fun. I noticed with this game is that patience is your best friend. Always have a "Battle Buddy" and don't insta prone...it doesnt work out the way you want it

LOL...I know what you mean. All the buildings are so small and narrow that only one person can fit. Then I let other people(ie. battle buddy) to go first and wait for them to get mowed down and then I find a different route

Dirtboy, you're the only one I've seen so far who hasn't been able to figure out the doobie grenade.

If you haven't tried this mod out yet AND you own some game that uses the Source engine, you're missing out on a lot of free fun. If you don't own anything using the Source engine, you're missing out on a lot of $20 fun.
