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

The objective of this release, as most of you will probably know already, is to test it with your help during a few weeks, collecting feedback and suggestions. After those few weeks, we'll tweak the final version with your suggestions and release Insurgency Beta 2.1. Forum threads and feedback questionnaires will be put in place immediately after release in order to better gather all your impressions.
This version has been in development for 6 months. It's primary goal has always been to become the last major release of Insurgency under the previous generation of the Source engine (INS 3.0 will work under the Orange Box engine). This doesn't mean we'll stop supporting it as soon as it's out: on the contrary, minor updates and extra contents that we didn't have time to include in this version are already scheduled and will be released during the summer.
We want INS 2.1 to have a code base solid enough to be enjoyable on public servers and clan matches, and to serve as the basis for Insurgency leagues and championships. This is the reason why we have chosen to deploy it first as a release candidate and not as a beta: we still think that you'll want to tweak the game closer to perfection, so we're giving you the chance to do that.
Many of you have asked about a release date. We're still under the last polish passes and the installers have yet to be built. However, this is only a matter of days. That's it, folks, neither weeks, nor months. We are very happy to say that the last private beta tests have yielded excellent results. The new maps are very playable, they will all be included in the release and, although the final verdict belongs to you, they offer new and exciting gameplay elements that are likely to change the way INS is played. The new shader effects add immersion and atmosphere, the new animation system lets you focus on the game and the tactics, not limiting you with clunky, artificial limitations.
But in any case, we think that the best way to introduce you to Insurgency Beta 2.1 RC is to post the changelog and known issues list. This changelog is not 100% complete or final yet, but we can assure at this stage that, in any case, any variation from this list would be due to some minor additional fixes that might still make it into the RC build.
