Insurgency Sandstorm

>Engine
They've come a long way with optimization since launch, it's not perfect yet but it's getting there
>Women
Who cares? Just shoot them like you're supposed to

It's sad that you zoomers think of centralized servers as the default.

Can Yea Forums explain how someone can be a shill for a FREE game? Why is Yea Forums filled with fucking retards?

Is this game pve like payday or what?

It has co-op modes and pvp modes

It has PVE and PVP. Both are pretty fun. I play more PVP but I know guys with way more hours than me that just run checkpoint coop all day every day.

The best thing will be people in the forums complaining about how new players dare to join their games on a free weekend

you mean match making right?
it is fucking retarded from a player perspective but it makes sense for devs who dont want their multiplayer games pirated

that is indeed concerning

I disliked the first Insurgency because it felt kinda meh overall. Can't be way more precise because last time I played it is years ago, though I actually like tactical shooters like CS / R6 Ravenshield etc
How is it compared to the first one?
Downloading rn

it's been running better after the last few updates

sebas close this right now

I think this one is more fast-paced, less-tactical and has less long range areas. That said leaning into walls/corners and camping seem stronger than previous Insurgency so if that's tactical then go for it. It's free anyways

it runs fine now

Based, got a source?

It's much faster paced than the first game, it feels like playing call of duty with more realistic shooting. It's shit if you wanted a more tactical game like the first one but it's probably fun if you don't.

Is it better optimized than on launch? My PC is getting pretty low tier now but I have an SSD, 16gb RAM, and a Nvidia 960 and last I played it was unplayable even on the lowest settings.

I barely get 60 fps with constant dips.
Meanwhile BF5 runs on 120 fps, has bigger maps, more players AND looks way better.
No wonder Sandstorm died so fast

I'd probably try it but I'm so shit at regular Insurgency. It just feels like I get killed from out of nowhere unless I spot the single white pixel moving by the rock formation some mile away from me.

it doesn't. I get half the fps I get in RS2 Vietnam and Vietnam looks better.

>OP
>inb4
Go away shill. It's a lazy cash grab and it's still just CS with instagib.

You don't have to worry as much about that as in the first game as there's no sinjar or buhriz. Unfortunately by the same token, there's no interesting maps like sinjar or buhriz. All the maps currently in, besides ministry, are pretty forgettable and feel just haphazardly tossed together in a map maker program.

>he bought BF5
ahahahahahahahahahaha

Running maxed out at 1440p without any drops for me

I played 2 rounds and its ok, not worth 20 bucks tbhwyf

I got a 980ti and and old i5 processor as I get well over 80 fps with the game on the highest settings. Upgrade your toaster

Who /mo/ here?

This.

Now, sandstorm is in direction competition with a game that is far superior.

There is nothing that Sandstorm does better than Battlefield. Why would they do this? The original stood out because it was a relatively fast-paced, minimalistic shooter. Now, its just a bad battlefield.

I guarantee a woman did this.

Some of us play at resolutions higher than 1080p.
Also 80fps is pathetic for a game that looks like a Source mod.

>muh realism
>muh low TTK
Fuck your game, shill.

Hope this'll come to PS4, it'll be a while before I can get a PC. Still playing BF4, wished I had shit like this on there.
>BF5
Why the fuck are you playing this console game when you have a decent PC? BF5 is shit, even for console standards. I wouldn't download it if it was free, not worth the SSD space.

the problem is that they got a publisher, and the publisher made them rush out a game. this was even after the delay.

>talking shit about bf 5

>cod clone
>realism
Are you fucking mentally retarded?

BF5 is shit. Are you the retard playing a console game on PC?

>comes to PS4
yikes, no thanks
best thing about Sandstorm over the first Insurgency is that the weapon models don't cover 1/4 of your screen anymore with a scope - this is clearly a console design like your awful screenshot

You don't like the glory of 720p, 30fps? There's lag and rubberbanding every few minutes, there ain't shit you can do about it. SSD + ethernet + 300 mbps, doesn't alleviate the problem because it's not you - it's the fact that Raul from Brazil is in the lobby, and he's playing with McDonald's wifi.

Battlefield has been a console franchise since Bad Company.

How come every gun feels inaccurate as fuck compared to Source?

There's more recoil and I think guns are less accurate.

Do you happen to know why they made guns less accurate? I want to be rewarded for my good aim, not have to tap the target ten times or just full-auto it.

>>who cares if unreal loses us our tight controls and movements?
What's with the controls in this game? It feels kind of slippery.

The workshop can't be here soon enough. I'm especially looking forward to replacing the grating female voices.

The car is fucking pointless

Because insurgency "veterans" whined in beta.

So then they make it that I need to pick Marksman to have a weapon worth a fuck?
Well, it looks like I'll stick with regular Insurgency for the forseeable future. Maybe I'll actually grab Sandstorm if there's a -70% sale or something.

Or just spray full auto like everyone does since you get so many magazines even with small vest.

>need to reload more often
>recoil actually becomes a factor
>muzzle flash and smoke can obscure your target
>forget about using 20 rounders unless you have supply outta the ass to pay for extended mags
It's a solution but not an ideal one.

>>and lets make all our fucking maps way larger while maintaining the same server size
Don't forget that on top of the maps being fuckhueg for the player count, they're designed horribly. Literally every map has multiple spawncamping spots or places where you can break the out of bounds system to get behind the other team. Nothing like waiting 2+ minutes to respawn just to get obliterated by an RPG the second that you step out of the spawn.

Or just generally stupid ass out of bounds areas that dont go with the map borders. Flanking is impossible in some maps and thr map boundaries not being the same for both teams is awful for gameplay.

>tfw just chilling with mk14/SVD and popping free weekenders who don't smoke
its weirdly comfy

Dude, you can go YALAALLALALALA! and everyone on your insurgent team will join you.

you can use Positional Voice Chat and shit talk the enemy with anything you can come up with.

everyone is super fucking chill, i haven't ran into a single faggot who gets offended by bantz.

you can drop a C4 charge and let a teammate pick it up and Detonate it as he runs into a room of enemies while he yells ALLAHU ACKBAR!! even if he dies, you can still detonate it. laughs are had everytime.

P much this

Just dont say nigga under any context on an american server because americans have cuckoldry built into their genes and will immediately sperg out and start apologizing for slavery before banning you. Americans are an inferior people.

been awhile since i played but i assume since Vote kick has been added people probably try to votekick if you say nigger.

my friend was the black guy with mutton chops and every few matches some guy goes.

>Looks around
>sees black guy
>does a double take
>Holy shit we got us a nigger!

and it makes me chuckle everytime.

Either because I only play on firefight but vote kicks only happen if someone is afk. People shout nigger all day long and nobody cares enough to votekick even during free weekend.

The optimisation is fucking SHIT

Dunno about the everyone is super chill part. Ran into some raging faggot with my friends today on co-op who started crying about us "score whoring" for rushing the objectives. He got baited into getting so mad he couldn't even spell right before we just kicked his dumb ass out.
Feels like there's the same amount of retarded armchair generals as any other shooter, either that or its just the free weekend effect.

holy fuck lol, i love when someone gets so flustered they start typing too fast and make mistakes. better when they can't form a sentence with voice chat.

Push would be good if it didn't have the useless fire support mode and retarded restricted zones. Seriously, who's bright idea was it to slap restricted zones on every fucking flank. Firefight is the only mode I really play now, until they add ambush.

It threw me off how people rush objectives. I thought this was meant to be a tactical shooter but by the time I clear one building everyone just ran to the objective and died, one by one.

this is easily the biggest gripe i have with the game. forget the map name but playing Security and trying to get to the C point by going to the far left and jumping through the window. you end up out of bounds in what is essentially the fucking Capture point and are unable to shoot someone who is most likely there.

First ones at the objective will have better time shooting the other team when they are already dug in.

Simple tactics.

Fair point for PVP but I was thinking more of PVE.

>claiming Insurgency standalone is better when there is literally only 1 server.

One decent server is better than a hundred shitty servers

High speed low drag bb. If your team is sticking together and isn't complete shit you're often times going to lose less people flanking the objective and blasting people left and right than you're going to trying to get into prolonged firefights with the AI anyway.
Its also more fun.

I have similar specs, 980ti and 4690k and the game ran like complete ass in the betas, I refunded it. A shame since I loved orignal Ins and DoI.

Design seems a bit "off" somehow in SS too, maps don't flow as well and I miss VIP mode. Elimination was my favorite mode, even if almost no one ran servers for it.

Gun animations are nice, everything else feels like absolute trash.

Also the voice acting is beyond cringey.

Give commander and radioman MP5 or 7 for gods sake! I grow tired of m4 and g3

Made it even worse. The restricted areas are different for both teams so enemy can flank you from an area you cant even watch.

>Also the voice acting is beyond cringey.
Insurgents VA is all around based, security is pretty shit though. Also it's really annoying that every single person uses high speed low drag tacticool operator gear and the white male voice for security; I swear that I'm the only person who uses a cute peshmerga girl. There should be separate customization options for commander, observer, and adviser that have that spec ops shit.

>Playing as a girl in modern war setting
Yikes, they just look so out of place

>Also the voice acting is beyond cringey.
This so fucking much.
5 minutes of messing around in the shooting range was enough to put me off the game, I couldn't even find a way to turn it off.

NWI are not good at map design

i dislike how players play in this game, namely camping in a corner or in the spawn line and shooting you in the back. this kind of game promotes really shitty tactics. the players aren't even necessarily good. just use cheesy tactics to kill you

Typical PR/propaganda corps. In reality they are in areas with out fighting.

isn't this the game notorious for spawncampers and spawnkilling?

No.

However OOB has a grace period now so you can enter it and still shoot for a few seconds, it's also balanced on a lot of maps to allow for high risk flanks.

Yes, and shitters justify it by saying "it's just killing at spawn exit so it's not actually spawnkilling, don't just rush like COD you have to pay attention" while they exploit the shit map design to shoot people in the back immediately after they spawn.

Ins source had better map design, they seemed to have gone backwards in DoI, stuff like webm related (or artillery on your spawn point killing you instantly) and lots of random dead ends in what look like valid paths.

There's a place on one map where I single-handedly stopped the entire enemy team. It's up a hill, you have an unobstructed view of the enemy's spawn area, and if you have an LMG with a 4X scope you can hit all of them with no problems.

Sure it's a dick move but the map is designed to let you do it.

is "slippery movement" a engine problem or a design choice? What engine did this game have before?

Guns aren't less accurate they always hit exactly where the muzzle/sight is pointed but intermediary cartridges are 2-3 shot kills instead of one shot depending on calibre, armour of your enemy and where you hit, you might get the impression that guns are less accurate just because players are generally tankier than source.

Recoil is now stance based so you get more recoil firing from an unstable or awkward posture, with prone and crouched being the best and standing and moving being the worst, leaning makes the direction of your recoil diagonal which can throw you off as well.

Minecraft

It was on Source, which is renown for having very tight responsive shootan and movement and moved to Unreal because it was the hot new thing.

Being fair, source has its limitations and is quite old, but it's sad that sandstorm is on a similar technical level to fucking PUBG while offering much smaller maps and far less combatants. Something about UE4 lighting is terrible and it doesn't play nice with MSAA which means it either looks like jagged ass or vaseline on your screen, pick one

How did they manage to make nearly every map terrible?

If it didn't run like absolute ass on intel then I might play it.

To my understanding, the slippery movement is caused by having a high inventory weight. I don't understand why they decided to make you control like an ice skater when at high weight, but that was the route that they chose. It's possibly some poorly realized version of a momentum system.

Feels like the biggest thing they added from Insurgency to Sandstorm is jank. I can position myself to see through smoke, all the animations are jagged and you can feel the game struggle throughout.

Where the hell is the VIP mode?

>Where the hell is the VIP mode?
Coming 2020 after they add a different mode that nobody asked for later this year :)

When you aren't playing with free weekenders who don't know their ass from their elbows you'll find good players who rush shit and kill off most of the enemies before they even get to the point.

fuckin disgusting, play as the worst voice in the game.

Kurdish women actually fight on the front lines
How well they fight is debatable, but considering all the dead female fighters ISIS twitter accounts post, they do fight

>high scritched yell

yep, female voice in this game is terrible as fuck, they could have found a better person for that or just added more voices

VHS-2 with comp and foregrip is a laser. if you can't aim/hit a dude 50m out with it on full auto you probably weren't good at insugency in the first place.

>muslim
Peshmerga have a lot of christians and yazidi, and the muslims there usually aren't even practicing. Look at some pictures of their female fighters, none of them are wearing hijabs.

Negative.

Am I going to have to say it again?

The only cute woman in the game is Assassin

Do you really want to die out here?

Station, this is observer, send Warlock to this position, Over.

For me, all the maps in this game are way too small. So small that every person is watching every possible corner and route to the objective. You can't flank because every corner is camped by some guy waiting in prone with a machine gun. Makes the game extremely boring. I had this problem in the first game and in Day of Infamy. Also the game runs like shit.

It feels more like a worse COD than mod/standalone Insurgency

>have to solo MVP and flank hard left/right on huge empty maps to blow up cache to force the game to end, and even then victory isn't guaranteed, courtesy of above mentioned tards

I wish I could refund this game if I didn't spend hours trying to fix the performance. It just doesn't matter if I have it on the lowest possible settings or on high it will run fine at first but if there's a lot of explosions or I ran into a building or a certain area on the map the game would stutter like shit and freeze for more than 10 seconds at times. Did they fix any of this shit in the recent updates?
Specs: GTX 970, i5 6500 3.20GHz, 16gb DDR4

>-30%
Make it 50% already.

Most of my performance issues were remedied by running the game from a SSD

This is what I love about the Insurgency community in general. It's like the good old days of Xbox Live shit talking and when the developers addressed the "issue" in the community update they just tell people to use the mute function. Can't blame them either because censoring and banning would kill off its already small playerbase.

I literally tried everything from using SSD, deleting config, and fucking with the Nvidia settings. It's retarded that I have to do all this shit for a "full release" game and I'm not even going to bother anymore if these developers are too incompetent to optimize their game.

I feel like Assassin and Warlock's names should be swapped around. Assassin casts 30mm fireballs and rockets like a warlock, and Warlock deals huge burst damage and quickly exits, like an assassin.

You probably need to squash your texture quality and use the low texture streaming pool option, insufficient video memory is 99% likely to be your issue.

The game is really dogshit compared to INS2014. All you have to do to win is prone around a corner. When I do it I'm unstoppable and the area becomes untraversable. Doesn't matter if they flash it or smoke it, both are bugged to fuck and don't ever function. You blend in so well that they literally can't do anything until their third or fourth death and sprint around trying to prefire you. It's a really fucking disgusting downgrade from the last one and I don't know what the fuck they're doing with the TTK and recoil especially.

I only cared about the VIP assassination mode. Did they bring it back? Or is it just the same boring rush modes again?

jumping on the newest ue4 is always a mistake

every time i reinstall i'm just dissapointed. the only good thing they've done is the new frenzy mode. it's fun but PvP is like pulling teeth. even going on a big winning streak feels tedious and unrewarding, especially since they cucked the messy gore at launch and dialed it down to whatever gay soiboy bullshit we have now
