I'm an Insurgency veteran, having played it since its first release as a Half-Life 2 mod in 2007. I have also played the "second" title, which was released in 2014 as a standalone game on the newer Source engine. Insurgency is a tactical-based first person shooter that offers you a big amount of weapons, attachments, and character customization. The focus is primarily infantry, and so are the maps designed. Unlike the older titles, you have limited vehicle usage in this title (drivable technical car with a mounted machine gun on the back), and you can call in different air support like the Apache, Black Hawk, and A-10 airstrike. Every title that was released was also an improvement over the prior title. This title is still alive and kickin, matchmaking is pretty fast, it takes me max. 5 seconds to get into a match. You have hardcore realism gameplay, with no lifebar, no hitmarker, and every bullet can be deadly, unlike in games like Call of Duty and Battlefield. However, what I'm criticizing and what the previous insurgency titles (both from 2007 and 2014) did better are the map design and the factions. In the previous titles, there were many more urban maps, with great lighting and outskirts areas. Take a look at the Revolt map. You felt like it was a true Iraqi/Afghan area. There were Iraqi flags, Saddam Hussein graffiti, and Iraqi propaganda posters around the map, with Mercedes cars and different types of U.S. Vehicles placed around the maps. The second thing are the factions: While in the very first title, you have USA vs Iraqi insurgents with their respective uniforms, in this title you have more common factions, Security vs Insurgents. So are the uniforms, which is a bit problematic. While it's great that you can customize your character (and you have ALOT of options), you have no more clear uniform identity. This means: You can make your security character look either like a common PMC or almost like an insurgent, and your insurgent character can be customized to look similar to a PMC. On the battlefield, it's confusing. I had to look twice, which sometimes killed me, and sometimes when I didn't look twice during battle, i killed a teammate. However, I recommend this game over Call of Duty. It provides you realism and fun experience without the need to buy dozens of DLCs, unlike other shooters provided by AAA developers & publishers. Pro: + Graphics are still awesome. + Hardcore & Realism Gameplay + Unreal Engine 4 + Huge Amount of Weapons + Modsupport + Custom Maps + Character & Weapon Customizations + Middle East-themed Insurgency + Great Sound Design + Runs smooth on older systems (my gaming laptop with GTX 1080 Mobile runs this game in FHD Max. Settings with Stable 120 FPS) Cons: - I don't like the map design on most maps, missing details like Saddam graffiti, Iraqi propaganda for realism purposes, and mostly civilian and emergency vehicles placed around the maps - Less Urbanwarfare - Too generic factions bringing confusing uniforms for characters - Also, no more focus on Iraqi/Afghan scenario.
