   Hardcore-Realism-Teamwork are the three aspects of this game. If you are looking into
   such experience dont hesitate just go for it. CoD-BF and other fps are just time-wasters
   in front of this. There is lack of community atm though..I hope this is just a temporary state
   and people who loves fps give more appreciation on this game.… Expand

   It's a very tactical team-based shooter. Reminds me of the old school Rainbow Six games without the map waypoint strategy. The strategyIt's a very tactical team-based shooter. Reminds me of the old school Rainbow Six games without the map waypoint strategy. The strategy happens real-time between players over the in-game VOIP system. You die and you're out. Your only chance at a respawn is your team mates making it to the next objective, else you all start at the beginning of the mission again. This forces one to play as a team, extremely carefully and strategically.
   
   The maps are well designed and very immersive with numerous routes to objectives.
   
   The AI is incredible! During my first game, I thought I was playing against players who were online. I also love the way the AI increases in number and difficulty as more players join your squad.
   
   The graphics are good enough and give a great all-round, authentic experience. Night missions are fantastic and very challenging.
   
   The surround sound with a gaming headset is awesome. One is able to spatially place sounds around one's self while playing, particularly moving enemies.
   
   This game is a must buy for FPS fans.… Expand

   I bought Insurgency during a sale a few years ago and it has become my favorite game. This is the game I've played the most in my libraryI bought Insurgency during a sale a few years ago and it has become my favorite game. This is the game I've played the most in my library because it combines realism with fun gameplay mechanics. Definitely worth the price even when not on sale (currently $15 USD). The developers (NWO) continue to release free updates even longer after it was first released. The developers even released free DLC and they listen to the community.… Expand

Very tactical. I played through early Alpha all the way to release and have been very impressed with the devs and the progression of the game. A ton of thought has gone into the layout and feel of the game. 10 out of 10 from me. I can't stop playing.… Expand

All of the guns look and feel realistic and the animations for them are superb, some of the best I've ever seen. The gunplay is fluid and intense and various types of grenades (flash, smoke, frag) are actually useful and have their moments. Communication isn't as important as in games like ArmA although some tactics are required (all running out at once is a great way to die). Most guns can kill you in 1-3 shots forcing you to think about how you are going to get the jump on your enemy rather than trying to take them head on. The maps are very well designed and atmospheric. Unfortunately, The game modes are kinda similar to one another and only a few are actually fun. The new Vietnam War mod (Born to Kill) is incredibly well done and worth checking out. Despite these features I think that $10 is a bit pricey. When it goes on sale for $2 definitely pick it up - you won't be disappointed.… Expand

   Finally - a grown-up FPS that I can get my teeth into. I was never a fan of COD and only briefly flirted with CS and the others.

   Insurgency throws you in at the deep end, and you either sink or swim. It's brutal and uncompromising. Frustrating at first, yes, but as you learn the different map and modes it quickly clicks that teamwork is the key ingredient for success. When people work as a team this game is simply sublime and hugely satisfying. The online banter between can be pretty entertaining too, sometimes.
   
   The maps are relatively expansive and take time to navigate. They are well-constructed and there are many nice detailed touches particularly (for me) in sound design which is brilliantly immersive (the sound of the odd insect buzzing past you, being given-away by your breathing, etc.). The game mechanics are sharp and responsive. Guns and grenades are done properly in this game.
   
   I've noticed a few minor graphical glitches but nothing that spoils the fun.
   
   Since I bought it some months back I've been playing it it daily (and often when I shouldn't be). The recent free update was quite substantial - including two new maps. Excellent value for money.
   
   The game is obviously a labour of love for the developers and I want to tip my hat to them. Very well done and thank you very much!… Expand
