Why else would I be on this forum otherwise. Dah

I don't really like dystopia, and The Hidden is pretty cool, nice refreshment since it is so different from other mods.

I personally felt that it took the realism a bit too far. I often found that I would randomly get shot and never find out where it came from. It definitely adds to the intensity of it, though.

I'm a fan of that style, I guess some people like ultra realism, and some people prefer balance.  Nothing wrong either way, just personal preference.

As for Insurgency, fantastic mod, sometimes realism can be a bitch, but it teaches you to play carefully, no more sidestepping/bunnyhopping/dolphinjumping into open space and pwning 5 players!

INS is one of those games where, if you joined a server with a group of people who love working together (which is rare these days) it can be a quality mod.

It's Half life 1 in the Half Life 2 engine. Plus they added a little here and there.

I wonder whether itl have British Commando's with the ability to dress up as arabs and undertake terrorism missions? hmmm.. Thats probably too realistic tho

Too bad its realism sometimes gets in the way of its gameplay.

Description :     Insurgency (INS) is a total conversion modification using Valve Software's Source Engine. Insurgency immerses you, as the player, into an intense and realistic online combat experience.

Set on the modern battlefields, Insurgency simulates modern infantry combat that doesn’t just encourage the use of teamwork and tactics, but makes it a requirement of survival. On the streets of Iraq it is not safe to be alone. Go head to head with guerrillas, insurgents and resistance fighters, simulating the extreme conditions faced on today's battlefields.

Engage in urban warfare where every window, doorway or road block is a potential ambush point and every object on the street needs to be watched with care. Fight against the occupation from behind windows and burned cars, with your finger on the trigger and an unsuspecting patrol down the street getting ever closer. Whatever you choose to do, Insurgency is sure to get your pulse racing and make your breathing feel heavy while you engage in such a unique and original combat experience.
