Difference from Insurgency 1

[Alex]

Hey fellers.
I have the original game, played it a while.
Gotta ask what's different before I get a copy.
Apart from cosmetic customization and graphics, what's the difference between this and the first game? I won't mind if you just link a video as an explanation, I just want to know.

This game worth buying, in my opinion it's better than first game. Personally I bought Sandstorm because I liked it more. Sandstorm is more fast paced, gunplay is better, animations and movement are 'smoother', there are more features like observer & commander classes which can call air support, you can breach doors, vault, drive cars, shoot from a mounted machine guns, take down choppers etc. Sound is better. Sandstorm lacks content compared to first game but we expect more to come in next year.

You mean, Ins2?

Can you play a match with just bots, like in Insurgency 1?

I watched the video, thanks for the share. Yes, I mean Insurgency Sandstorm or 2 if you will.
For Trash Panda, the video mentions there is PvE, "... versus Environment" which is another way of saying bots :)
Im a bit sad this video was made half a year ago, and already back then people were talking about the game losing players, lack of optimization (Not a problem for me personally) and content.

There were no bots ins1, Ins2 had bots but they weren't as good as these ones.

Game is actually gaining players, and about new content - it's coming next year :)

Well a lot of people refers to the mod insurgency as insurgency 1, the standalone released in 2014 as insurgency 2 and sandstorm as sandstorm.

Pros:
-Awesome graphics
-Awesome sound quality(tough has issues)
-Gunplay feels amazing
-Map quality and size is like 300% of that in Ins2014
-Better class system with more weapons
-Character customization
-Fire support as well as the Commander and Radioman roles from Day of Infamy are also present in Sandstorm
-I belive the active playerbase is also somewhat bigger than in DoI or Ins2014 tough it still doesent peak above 3500
-Vehicles
-On very few occasions you can actually damage the enviroment (pillars on ministry for example)

Cons:
-Way fewer maps and modes than in Ins2014 (being worked on)
-No mod support currently
-Lots of small bugs that directly impact gameplay
-Some users constantly complain that preformance is absolute trash tough other including myself experience nothing of the sort(currently this issue is seeing the most attention from the devs,as well as console compability)
-Communication and tactical gameplay seem to have suffered quite a bit compared to Ins2014
-I dont play PVE but bots are supposedly worse than in Ins2014

Note:
-Night maps are absent,wether that's good or bad depends on one's opinion
-Combat seem to have sped up compared to Ins2014,a lot more running and lone wolfing occours

Thanks Alex

Wait people refer to the mod as Insurgency 1 and the 2014 game as insurgency 2, I mean the 2014 game with Insurgency 1

INS 2 is still a tactical shooter.

INSS is equivalent to trolling a meme Reddit post.

But it's fun if you like derping around and getting PTFO with an RPG-7 and headshot punches only.

Erhm... class is in session ATTENTION!

Ins 1 = Insurgency MIC(Modern Infantry Combat) or Insurgency Mod - came out in 2007

Ins 2 = Insurgency Source or Insurgency 2014

Ins 3 = Insurgency Sandstorm - came out in 2018

I don't personally think this is worth a purchase, but thanks for taking your time to explain differences to me!

If personal preferences interest you,i have 100+ hours in both Ins2014 and DoI and I am also one of those who preordered Sandstorm and was present at the beta,and i never regreted spending money on the game.Now it should be accessable around 70% of the price i bought it for. If you are really careful with spendings then i guess you can skip it,seeing how it aint exactly flawless and all that...but for it's price it's still a damn good game in my opinion

THe old maps were good on insurgency 1 and this one has trash maps
