Competitiveness Creep: Insurgency on Shitty Laptops

Insurgency is a worthy successor to Insurgency Mod AKA Insurgency Modern Infantry Combat, except several, mostly graphics related problems:

Death Messages. By default death messages are off, which means almost all populated servers are more vulnerable to cheaters and griefers.

Cheat CVARs. Yes, INSMODSCUM is complaining about excessive blacklisting of CVARS.

HDR. It seems it is very hard to turn off HDR.

DXLEVEL/mat_dxlevel. It seems it's impossible to force a lower dxlevel.

Except for death messages, the above are only problems for users of shitty laptops or players who actually prefer shitty graphics.

[NOTED] INSMODSCUM Insurgency Config

To be honest, the only way to turn off eye-candy (INSMODSCUM actually prefers to play without HDR and other annoying shit; old habits die hard) is to use lower DirectX level (dxlevel), but you can't do that. Thanks New World Interactive!

Insurgency 2 "Early Access" Released on Steam - InsMod Is Back! (OLD STICKY)

Insurgency 2, now just "Insurgency" is now available on Steam for $15. Insurgency Mod veterans, griefers, and cheaters, it's time to get mum's credit card and let ... Insurgency begin... or continue if it never really stopped for you.

InsModScum is optimistic, but Insurgency players must be careful. Insurgency cannot be another Insurgency Mod. It is up to you, to make sure that doesn't not happen.

Insurgency Forum already has moderators with, let's say, questionable histories, trolls, some even from old Insurgency Mod Forum, armchair experts, again some are from old Insurgency Mod Forum, and scum that has been mentioned on this blog.

Fifteen American dollars is not much, but when multiplied by thousands, is a lot of money. If you are a proper gamer, you have been burned in the past, so be careful and let's not get disappointed and robbed again.

BEST INSURGENCY MOD PLAYER OR MOMENT? (OLD STICKY)

Insurgency2 is coming, before it arrives, one issue has to be settled once and for all...

The best or the most memorable Insurgency Mod player or moment (good or bad) is...

Noted: "Tips For Starting With Insurgency" ("xRev")

Source: http://www.playinsurgency.com/forums/topic/571-tips-for-starting-with-insurgency/

Tip 1: Seek High Areas / Staircases

From high areas, you can overwatch the situation. In Siege, there is a staircase at the beginning of the Security spawn. You can use this to enter a higher area which has a perfect overwatch on point B. Provide this overwatch to your teammates and capturing B will be basically peanuts.

When executing this tip, you might want to look out for snipers lurking around.

Tip 2: Aim for the chest

In Insurgency, I experience it best to shoot at the chest. Shooting in the head might be more effective, but is a lot harder and the efficiency lost in shooting on the chest isn't a lot. Two or three bullets to the chest will usually do the job with the M14. Take advantage of the fact that Insurgency takes weapon realism and lethality serious, and that a player isn't basically invincible when they shoot at the chest!

Tip 3: Help each other

It is always important in games like these to help each other. Best way to do that is to keep microphone contact with each other. When approaching a capzone, you might want to call for cover if you don't already have it.

Tip 4: Take inroute building routes

When approaching the capzone, you can get snapped by snipers lurking around the street. Best is to take the inroute building routes. Doing this will prevent sniper usage against you. Always keep your gun prepared when doing this though, because you can always come across CQB's in building routes. If this happens, you want to quickly squeeze the trigger.

Tip 5: Don't lone-wolf [IMS: unless you really know what you are doing]

Always try to get into a team. Walking alone in Insurgency, and you're basically a dead man walking. This tip is basically directly linked to 'Tip 3'.

Proper Insurgency Development Priorities

A lot of "competitive" players think they are very, very, important.

They are not. They are a small minority. They do not keep the game alive. Guess who does that?

Insurgency Coming Soon on Steam

Posted 17 April 2013 - 09:08 PM

Insurgency will soon be available on the early access section of Steam. We've had to do a lot of thinking about our pricing strategy over the long term. We believe this game will be worth $19.99 or $24.99 when we do our full release, and the success and duration of our upcoming early access on Steam will determine this. For the time being however, we have decided to lower the price point of the game to $14.99 for our upcoming early access on Steam.

At New World Interactive it’s incredibly valuable for us to be honest and loyal and as forthright as we can with our community. You are our lifeblood, and we genuinely appreciate all of the early support, feedback, and attention you have provided us. Because of you, we are in business and creating what we believe will be a revolutionary FPS experience with a long life ahead of it.

We are lowering the price point because we want to open our game to a broader audience and bring more players into the servers, and ultimately create a bigger, stronger, more robust player community. We believe the price point drop will enable us to attract more players to Insurgency, which means more people on the servers and better matches for you all to regularly play in.

Don’t think for a second we have forgotten about you. You got this thing started, and helped us craft the game over the past month and a half to be a much better, more realistic experience. You have set us on a new course, which our updates over the months ahead will reflect.

Due to the price drop on Steam, we would like to reward our early purchasers with a gift, a personal thank you to signify and recognize your support. First, we would like to present you all with the credits in the game in our final release, recognizing you as a contributor. Second, NWI will provide you with a specialized Insurgency badge that signifies your early support, which will show on your Steam profile. And third, NWI will provide you with an extra Early Access key. That means you can give your friend/teacher/brother/comrade in arms a free code to play along with you (which actually doubles the value of your original buy-in).

We hope you will enjoy these gifts as a token of appreciation for your loyal support and contribution to the development of Insurgency. We look forward to continue building this game and community together.

TLDR: Insurgency2, Steam Early Access, two keys for $15. Dates unknown.

Hate this marketing "coming soon" bullshit. You are not pushing crack cocaine New World Interactive and we are not Insurgency fiends... except maybe Sham.

Sham.

BTW is it "Insurgency 2" or "Insurgency2"? IMHO "Insurgency2" is probably better.

Insurgency2 Idea #3 - Seperate World for Banished Players

Just spitballing here, it's not all going to be gold.

If a player is banned from a server, when he connects, he gets his own separate world, where he is playing against other banned players. The player with the most points gets his ban rescinded and can join the "normal" world, but he has to wear shit-stained uniform/clothes.

Insurgency2 Idea #2 - Night Warfare

Just spitballing here, it's not all going to be gold.

Simple. Security Forces get night vision equipment.

Insurgents get flashlights. Some insurgents (those with highest scores) get flashlights with shitty batteries that they have to change.  Insurgents with low scores get no batteries (simulating they just forget them at home) and have to check the map and return to the spawn point and pick them up.

This might turn out to be too one-sided though, so this is still work in progress.

P.S. This will promote communication, so this idea definitely has potential.

Insurgency2 Idea #1 - The Nuclear Option

Just spitballing here, it's not all going to be gold.

If a player caps all the objectives, and kills the entire opposing team, then...

If Insurgent: player gets a dirty nuclear bomb and detonates it, that will turn the entire team into zombies that are only able to be killed with a headshot. Security Forces get bolt-action rifles.

If Security Forces: player calls in a nuclear strike. Every player than sees the player who called in the nuke riding atop the bomb into destruction just like in Dr Strangelove. "AllTalk" is on and everybody else is muted, so the "hero" can say whatever he wants as he is riding down.

P.S. On hardcore mode, Security Forces players either get one clip, or one bolt-action rifle. Insurgent zombies get RPGs.
