Instead, gameplay pits you as one member of a team of up to 12 players, fighting against other players, surprisingly capable bots or a mix of players and bots in a host of objective-based game modes as either the Insurgents or Security teams. There is no single-player campaign, there are no explosive cinematics, and you won’t find yourself confused as to why you feel you should know the celebrity that’s playing a villain here. That’s not to say I’m promoting a perfect game here, there are faults, however, let me tell you that Insurgency: Sandstorm is a fantastic title.įrom the off, one thing is very clear. Yes we may find it looks and occasionally feels like a blend of some of the best bits of other games mixed together, and some game modes certainly share a pattern of feeling ‘samey’ but should you treat it as such, you won’t be able to enjoy just what is on offer here. To fully appreciate any time spent with Insurgency: Sandstorm you must first put any comparisons to the other heavyweights of the genre out of your mind. Of course, the FPS genre is one which is always heavily catered to within this period, but whilst the latest entries in the Call of Duty, Battlefield and Halo franchises all begin to drum up excitement for their incoming release, its developer New World Interactive who have fired the first shots with their modern-day slugfest Insurgency: Sandstorm.īefore we get into things, we need to make one thing clear. If you have 8 people and one hallway, then many have to hang back and do nothing, or move into the overcrowded doorway which causes blocked lines of fire and makes the whole team vulnerable to RPG fire.It’s that time of the year once more in which the titans of game development pull out all the stops, by pushing marketing to the max and throwing every trailer imaginable in front of our eyes.
This makes sense, but the amount of players are often too much for the choke points of the map. In the push mode (I can't remember what it is called) the map is altered to make it very linear. A different colour or something on the name markers would be nice as well to always keep track of your friends.Ģ. I suggest fireteams be introduced so you and your steam friends can join one and stick together.
You are most often placed in a different squad or team. All you can do is ensure you're in the same server. However, there is currently no way to play WITH your friends. The auto balancing is good at making sure sides are even and it works well for individual players. There are two problems I currently have with Insurgency: I ignored it for a long time, but me and some friends all joined a server last week and had a blast.
