Insurgency Mod Finally Sees The Light Of Day!

Jeremy, on the INS dev Team, had this to say about the release of the INS Mod, " Dear INS community,

Four years ago, in the mind of Andrew "Argyll" Spearin, Insurgency was born. Since then, the team has grown, the mod has matured and our fan base has expanded. Today, after all the hard work our developers, community liaisons and testers have put in, with both Pongles and I leading the way, we can finally say: It's ready.

We have put you, our loyal community, through a lot of ups and downs. While our development side was doing great, our PR side was lacking. It was a roller coaster ride just trying to get the mod to this point. A lot of crazy things happened that we can't really explain, but led to huge internal misunderstandings. It is no one's fault but our own and we have learned from this and many other mistakes. You can be rest assured to see many Insurgency updates in the future, where the mod should progress quite impressively over time, along with the development team's level of professionalism and its ability to cater to its community as well.

The entire development process of this mod was an amazing learning experience for all of us and we are confident when we say we are better at this now than we were at the beginning. I'm quite confident that you all will appreciate the fruits of our labor, and we look forward to playing with you guys on the server and hearing your feedback!"

Ballzy's view on the Insurgency Mod:

Let me say, first of all, I am truly impressed by this mod. You can tell that these guys put 4 years into it. The source engine has helped to create a good combat environment and added realism. The INS Team, listened to many of the requests that the community suggested, which in my opinion, helped to them to create such a great mod. The modifications they made translate into a better gaming experience, such as the abilities to lean, crouch, go prone, etc (BF2 doesn't even have the ability to lean

).
It has a steep learning curve, so You will either love it or hate it. I recommend first-timers to read up on the manual posted on the INS Mod site .

A little advice for all who dare enter the INS realm, it is a TEAM-based mod! If you run and gun, you pretty much die!
Take cover and try to hang onto your life as long as possible. The Commander of each TEAM has a limited amount of reinforcements available, so they have to use them wisely or else the round is over and your team loses.

With all of that said, it still has it quirks and bugs. What code doesn't? Outside of that, I recommend this MOD to all who enjoy a more realistic, team-oriented, modern combat game. I will stress again, that it is TEAM based! FYI: If you are not a team player and don't have patience, you probably won't like the MOD!

What's taking you so long? Go download the MOD already!
