FIREARMS: SOURCE HAS BEEN RELEASED
A big event has just occurred within the Source modding community. A classic mod from GoldSRC has just been updated and evolved into a Source beta release. I was personally a big fan of the original Firearms back in the day and have played the new release and can honestly say they kept true to the spirits and roots of what made Firearms so great.
While it is a Beta 1.0 release, it offers a wide variety of content and features. It of course has a few bugs, but for a Beta 1.0 release it's very solid.
Keep your eye on this.
Here is the press release from the Firearms Team:

I didn't realise Insurgency needed replacing. I miss that game. Time to install again!
Firearms was great back in it's hay day wasn't it?

Nice plug. Forgot this was the Orion page.
IMO this does not replace Insurgency. They're quite different has a whole.
I like insurgency better, the whole leveling up and picking gear for your char is really confusing imo, I could never find a load out I was actually happy with.
I am a modern girl who firmly follows the fashion trend.
Thank you for sharing the nice post with useful information.
