Engineer /Sapper - shotgun, grenade, sidearmĮach team is also split into two groups, each split into two squads.Sniper - scoped rifle, smoke grenade, sidearm.Grenadier/RPG - rifle and grenade-launcher/RPG, sidearm.Squad Leader/Cell Leader - rifle, sidearm, grenades, smoke grenade.ClassesĮach team has different classes for the player to choose, although there is a limited amount of each: A mosque in Baghdad, an example of a 'Battle' map. Others include 3D scopes (the scoped area is zoomed in, but the area around the scope is zoomed out, as per real life), different fire modes, different player stances (including a slight rise when aiming down the sights while crouched) and leaning around corners. This gameplay mechanic is one of many that are rarely seen on the Source Engine and have been scripted and animated from scratch. There is no crosshair and as such aiming down the sights is the only effective way to hit an enemy at anything more than few meters, also, to make this even more so, when the player's weapon is idle and 'on the hip', the weapon will sway across the screen rather than remaining entirely central such as on Call of Duty 4 's Hardcore gamemode. Movement speed is quite slow, though sprinting can negate this, similarly reloading and switching between weapons is slow too. Most of the time a player can expect to die in less than three shots depending on the weapon fired and the part of the body hit. Gameplay A 3D-Scope in Insurgency.Īs mentioned, Insurgency is a realistic first-person-shooter game. The mod is currently in the beta stage and is one of the first batch of mods to be distributed through Steam. Therefore one is not required to own Half-Life 2 in order to play the game, as many mods do, but any Source game. The mod requires the Source SDK to play this comes free with any Source game. Players take either the side of the US Marines or the Iraqi Insurgents and compete for control points around a map. The mod is based on realism, tactics and squad-based combat in modern-day Iraq. Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat(also called Insurgency), is a Source Engine, multiplayer-only mod.
