Insurgency (FPS game)

[SiD]

Saw this on Steam today. Looks really good lol Anyone else hear of this, or play this yet? May be a fun game.

 

Nice dust effects. No mini map. Hud is bare minimum. Apparently the sound is superbly well done and realistic. You can mod your weapons as well.

Multiplayer Game Modes:

Skirmish --- In addition to three territorial objectives, each team has a supply cache to protect. Teams gain extra reinforcement waves until their cache is destroyed. When both teams have lost their caches and all reinforcement waves, it becomes a Firefight match.

VIP --- One team must escort their VIP player to the extraction point. Both teams only have one life per round, so coordination is paramount. The VIP is only armed with a silenced pistol, but can pick up a weapon from a fallen enemy or teammate.

Strike --- This attack and defend mode has three weapons caches that must be discovered and destroyed. Blowing up a cache brings additional reinforcement and time for the attackers, while the defenders lose a reinforcement wave.

Search & Destroy --- Two supply caches are hidden in three possible locations. Attackers must locate and destroy each cache or eliminate all enemy to win. Both teams send in reinforcements only when a cache is destroyed.

Firefight --- Three territorial objectives, one for each team, plus one neutral. Each team only respawns when they secure an objective. Secure all objectives or eliminate all enemy to win. Every life counts, making this a very suspenseful experience dependent upon teamwork.

Push --- Three objectives must be captured by the attacking team in sequential order. For each objective captured, they gain more reinforcement and time to attack the next. Defenders have a finite amount of reinforcements and must use each wisely.

Cooperative Game Modes

Checkpoint --- Complete mission-based objectives in sequence against AI enemy. Each successful objective will respawn anyone who was eliminated along the way.

saw it on steam, but it looks too similar to a lot of other shooters and i figure i will probably get battlefield 4 before it. another cool looking game on steam is rust. kinda like dayz and mine craft where you start out collecting resources and building fortresses etc. but you also end up getting lots of guns, bow and arrows, and vehicles. it might be fun if a lot of members got that game and worked together to survive.
