      Absolutely horrible video to watch. Horrible editing, every 2-3 seconds another shot without any reason, nervous fast-paced narration while only the most generic information is being conveyed, viewer never gets any idea what gameplay is actually like.

    No es CoD, no es Battlefield. Si bien capturar es muy parecido a Battlefield, no es tan arcade. Si bien Battlefield es más completo en tipos de soldados y sus funciones, y cantidad de vehículos, el enfrentamiento, disparos, correr y moverse sigue siendo arcade tanto CoD como Battlefield. Lo más parecido a insurgency en forma de jugar es Tarkov, Squad, Road to hell o Arena Breakout. Creo que Insurgency es la mitad entre arcade y táctico. Le falta algunas cosas más, pero creo que sería bueno implementarlas en un nuevo engine.

    Insurgency Sandstorm has some major problems that will never be fixed, because I've been asking the devs to fix them since I started playing it years ago and they only ADD bugs and problems to the game, they never actually fix anything. With that being said, I probably have over 1000 hours played on it, most of them being on local play to avoid the bugs and tactically retarded other players. Good luck finding ANY multiplayer server that runs like it's supposed to. All servers experience massive lag, like the servers can't keep up with the processing demand, but outpost mode is 100% unplayable on most maps.

    Bought the game when it came out but ditched it immediately, the guns look too skinny and small which felt unrealistic, I´d rather play the first Insurgency game because of this important thing plus there are no choppers or gas attacks in the first Insurgency.
