Q.What is Insurgency?
A. Insurgency ("INS") is a total conversion modification (multiplayer) for Half-Life 2, which runs on Valve's Source game engine.

Insurgency takes you across the modern battlefield, engaging in intense firefights and battles as a member of either a highly organized and equipped conventional force (US Marines), or as an unconventional fighter that uses a combination of firepower and bravery to take on their sometimes overwhelming opponent (Insurgents).

Intense realism will keep you alert as you and your team try accomplish the mission's objectives. Specified roles are included within each Squad that make up your team's Platoon. Command and control from a 4-soldier Fireteam, to an 8-soldier Squad, up to a 32-soldier Platoon. A unique point system ensures that online combat veterans will be rewarded for their leadership and tactical abilities so that they can rise through the ranks and command the platoon.

Grab one of the many weapons in the arsenal and join the fight using guerrilla tactics against the powerful enemy, fire RPGs at enemy infantry, or deploy your machine gun to take down entire platoons!

Q. Where can I download the mod?
A. Insurgency is available on Steam, Valve's online distribution system. If you already own a Source-based commercial game such as Half-Life 2 (or any of its episodes), Portal, Counter Strike: Source or Team Fortress 2 you will have Insurgency listed under your "My Games" list on your Steam client. You can install Insurgency from there and you the game will receive automatic updates as soon as they are available.

Q: Will Insurgency take advantage of HDR/Phong, etc?
A: Yes.

Q. How much will Insurgency cost?
A. It's free! You just need to have another Source-based videogame to be able to play.

Q. Where can I find more information about the mod?
A. Please visit Insmod.net for detailed information on all aspects of Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat.

Q. Where can I find support / other players?
A. Please visit our website at Insmod.net and our forums at Forums.insmod.net and be part of our active community! You can also visit the section dedicated to Insurgency at the Electronic Sports League site to find INS clans or other players.

Q. I would like to help, are you looking for anyone in particular?
A. We are always looking for talented level designers, coders or artists. Please see the Help Wanted section of our Moddb for details! If you need to get in touch, send an e-mail to: mail@insmod.net

Blog RSS Feed Report abuse Latest News: Insurgency Beta 2 Under Final Testing

1 comment by Dr_Spielmann on Oct 10th, 2007 digg this super bookmark


Beta 2 is now under close scrutiny to make sure it's as good as we all expect (after all, we'd like to play the game too, you know...) Although everyone in the team is very busy, we've collected a few screenshots to let you know how things will look like after this massive update. You can see all of them in the image gallery. In brief, here's some of what you'll get:

  • New Commander Promotion System*
  • New Weapon: M4A1 Assault Rifle with Front Grip (USMC)
  • New Weapon: AKS74U (Insurgents)
  • New Weapon: Al-Kadesiah Sniper Rifle (Insurgents)
  • New Weapon: SKS Simonov Self-Loading Carbine (Insurgents)
  • New Map: Ins_Samawah
  • New Player Customization and Weapon's Selection Systems
  • New Navigation Indicators**
  • New Overhead Map

*The New Commander Promotion System gives the best player in each team the chance of becoming Commander. He will be able to accept or deny the promotion. If he doesn't accept it, the next best player will get its chance to command its team.

**The New In-game Navigation Indicators will help you a great deal in navigating through the maps, finding objectives and following your commander's orders. You can see the new system in most of the following screenshots.

As you could probably tell from the weapons animation test video we published last week, the charismatic AKS-74U is another of the weapons included in Beta 2. Basically a shortened and very versatile version of the AK-74 assault rifle, it is designed to be lightweight but powerful, and to be easily carried by vehicle crews, police and special operations forces. It is very effective in short to medium-range engagements. This little toy will spice up close-quarter battles and should become a favourite for corridor crawlers!

The insurgents also get a new precision weapon: the Al-Kadesiah Sniper Rifle. Here's a screenshot... keep your heads down after the update!

...and the Simonov Self-loading Carbine (SKS), a semi-automatic weapon, contemporary of the AK-47, that offers better accuracy and longer effective range than the popular assault rifle, attributes that make it an excellent all-round weapon.

Samawah is the name of the new map you will be able to enjoy. As a night map, it will require concentration from both teams to avoid being ambushed by the enemy:

Last, but not least, here are some images of the new player customization system. You will be able to choose your appearance in-game, as well as your main weapon among several options depending on your soldier's class:

We can feel the expectation building up, and we don't want to miss this opportunity to sincerely thank you for your comments and contributions to the forums. We know you are waiting, and we would like to update you on the status of Beta 2: the development team is working with the testers on several important issues, that include many gameplay tweaks, map improvements, and bug-fixes. Our objective is to give you a game of the highest standards. As soon as the testing process is complete we will announce the exact release date.

I can't see much difference between this and Call of Duty 4. OK, I can - but it's allmost the same. But, This is free - and Call of Duty 4 isn't, so this is better. ^^

Why do people always compare mods to other published games. No, this is not like Call of Duty 4. It plays different, feels different, and requires different skills.

Just wondering, it said that u would be upgrading the Orange box engine. DOES THIS MEAN I HAVE TO BUY ORANGE BOX!? Or is there some way to get the engine itself, or upgrade HL2 to get the same effect?

Providing you do have HL2, go into the tools section on the steam launcher thingy find source SDK base/source SDK base orangebox then download one of thoes depending on which version of Insurgency you have. Anything that is beta 3 (the release that shouldn't be to far off (hopefully)) or above will need the source SKD orangebox, but at the moment you will only need to download the source SDK base.
