Insurgency Sandstorm - Disappointing slop

[Spooky_Heejin]

-Enemy PVE AI is fucking terrible: They never bother to utilize cover and have zero tactics other than to rush the player head on.

-Weapons feel like shit: Every gun has an absurdly high amount of recoil which isn't even realistic to real life counter parts.

-Terrible PVP spawns: If you go to slow and are tactical clearing rooms, someone spawns behind you and shoots you in the back of the head. If you go to fast clearing corners and rooms, you miss something and get shot in the back of the head.

-Extremely repetitive: All you do is clear corner after corner after corner after corner after corner. It gets repetitive since it's so brain dead easy without forcing the player to utilize their brain.

-No meaningful progression: You start off with all weapons unlocked, along with all the attachments. Only thing you can unlock are clothes and accessories for your character. Thing is it's an FPS, not a TPS, so you can't see your character in gameplay with his equipment on, making this utterly fucking pointless.

PVP skins: Since insurgents can dress very similar to Security, Differentiating between friendlies and enemies is very difficult. Everyone should just use the same uniform and gear like soldiers do in real life, and let insurgents wear civilian clothing like real life.

I've enjoyed Insurgency for years, even though I'm a filthy casual who gets blown away all the time. I enjoy playing as the insurgents, with characters modeled (as best I can) off real jihadist groups. It's a nice introductory "milsim" game—not as autistic as ARMA, but definitely better than some shit like CoD.

I just wish the single player missions that they had planned originally (where you would play as the Kurds, fighting ISIS) had actually come to fruition.

PC I'm sure it's shit easy as fuck since you have 6 points of contact on your mouse but on console you're only using your thumb. Still doesn't change that it's absurdly overexaggerated.

I just don't get how you have the patience for that. I would lose my fucking mind, it's so goddamn boring only being in action 1% of the game.

Try out Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising. It's a lot more fun because you command a fireteam and have a huge list of orders to use. Enemy AI is very solid, and everything feels very gritty. It's more fun than Arma because you run shorter distances and spend way more time fighting than in Arma.

you ain't seen shit if you haven't played ArmA (10 minutes running around the map only to get sniped and not shoot your gun once)

I played it for like 20 minutes then got bored (no offense if you like it)

It's just not for me.

I have a few dozen hours in it and got bored for that exact fucking reason.

True. I don't think it's overexaggerated tho other than the smgs which for some reason have worse recoil than ars

 

[Trident]

if i want realism i just play Arma

You play vs bots in the first few games so that's why it may appear boring and first weapons are just crappy bolties and smgs. You can't even have MGs or better tanks/planes or just smgs and fast firing bolties.

BR5 is much faster when compared to any other BR (and you were playing BR1 which is the slowest)

Sorry if I sound like a douchebag saying this but from experience, I've fired fully automatic guns before and the 5.56 guns in the game kick as hard as a 308 full auto irl. I've fired an M4 Carbine, SCAR 17, M14, and P90 irl in full auto.

Ok, thanks. That explains why I was so bored. I'll try it out one of these days when I get my backlog clear.

You can play custom games to have such fast gameplay if you don't want to grind for 50h if not more to reach BR5. There is even server browser.

You cant really compare it tho. obviously the gun wont rise as much irl but thats the only way it can be replicated in game to not make the guns feel like lasers. In game you can shoot full auto and hit targets very accurately at a longer range than irl even with this recoil since its anchored into the player

It got raped by the devs trying to cater to normies

mogs me btw
