Insurgency

[Garabaldi]

What is Insurgency?

The modern battlefield has witnessed many engagements between Guerrilla and Conventional forces. Insurgency will bring these fights to an online multiplayer battlefield using Valve's Source Technology from Half-Life 2. Engage in past, present, and fictional infantry battles throughout the world. From the Balkans to Iraq to Chechnya, join as either an Unconventional or Conventional team that caters to both casual and tactical gamers.

Intense realism will keep you alert as you and your team seeks out to accomplish the mission's objectives. Specified roles are included within each Squad that make up your team's Platoon. Command and control from a 4-soldier Fireteam, to an 8-soldier Squad, up to a 32-soldier Platoon. A unique point system will ensure that online combat veterans will be rewarded for their leadership and tactical abilities so that they can rise through the ranks and command the platoon. The conventional teams are designed to cater to tactical gamers -- those who use real tactics, demonstrate leadership, and use teamwork.

Grab a hold of an RPG-7 or other weapons in the arsenal and join the fight using guerrilla tactics against the powerful enemy. Ride in a technical with a mounted machine gun, fire RPGs at enemy infantry and vehicles, or set up a machine gun to ambush the enemy. The unconventional teams are designed to cater to casual gamers -- those who use hit and run tactics, lone wolf players, and regular FPS players.

The key features include:

- modern infantry combat on valve's source engine
- free total conversion, only half-life 2 and steam required
- chain of command -- commanders control their squad/cell with ease
- morale -- morale system to set high value on teamplay
- customizable gameplay -- "insurgency map configuration" system
- reinforcement waves -- unique reinforcement wave system
- depth of realism -- iron sights, free aim, ricochet, bullet penetration, weapon weights, and more
- no bullsh*t hud -- only see what's important, when it's important
- weapon caches -- used for rearming on the battlefield, destroyable by the other team
- global stats -- a simple forum signup keeps track of your stats forever
- network -- a comprehensive "ins.network" will cover all your insurgency needs

I'm really excited for this mod. A vast array of weapons, amazing map detail, realistic ballistics and damage and a whole bunch of other neat features.

Anybody else excited for this mod? Looks professional - something you would expect from veteran game designers.

I leave you with a few more pictures to drool over. Source engine is awesome!











The only downside? The team is very tight lipped about the release date. The projected time of release is Q4 or 2006 or Q1 of 2007.

Can't wait !

Re: Insurgency

Yeah, this mod' looks great, kinda put it to the back of my mind though, as the release is probably a little way off yet. None the less, it'll be worth the wait I expect! :)

Been looking forward to this one for a long time myself. April would be awesome for a release.
Forgotten Hope 2 and Insurgency are the big two mods I'm looking forward to.

Sacralidge! The Half-Life games are argugeably the best SP FPS games ever. Actually CS was a mod born out of the original Half-Life engine before it was bought and turned into a commercial product.

CS:S is bundled with some HL-2 sets (if not all).

Re: Insurgency

They've released new videos and map panoramas:

For those that don't own HL2/CSS, to be able to play the Mod you'd need any game that includes the Source SDK, see a list of them Here.

Both mods seem to be moving towards a release in the next few months, possibly over the summer.

I wouldn't worry about Steam, I have it set up to start with windows. It doesn't take a huge amount of resources just to run in the background, and it's a quick efficient way to keep Steam games updated. Rather than having months between a several hundred MB patch you get more frequent and smaller patches.


Those new videos look pretty cool. The sound on the M4 seems way overstated in comparison to the other weapons, but other than that very impressive work. I'd like to be able to play that game at a LAN some time.
