Is this game ever going to get another update

[Daddylongdck]

Or is it abandoned

Push (cancerous mode) isn't dead, but the game very much is.

The way these devs have handled the updates i would only vouch for it if the owner and the team changes to a better one.

dont care about pvp modes, i find coop game mods easily in community servers.

So there won't be a sequel since all the og devs left.

I wouldn't hold my breath - it's quite clear now they don't see the potential in the franchise. They haven't seen the potential for Sandstorm either. Before all the resources fuss and Embracer.

It's a shame, but many indie devs are already stepped into the gap. Let's see what's coming.

This is why it's important for smaller studios to finish their games before they release them. Once you derail your hype train it's pretty much game over. This game had maybe 2 good years.

Unfortunately not many options in this genre, there is Ground Branch, Six days in Fallujah and Ready or Not, but they are much slowed paced, and if you die in those games you're dead.
Insurgency coop checkpoint pacing is the most fun to me from all these games(normal or hardcore), so I dont think there will be anything close to it, unless someone makes a game with similar mode. I think only NWI can make a game like this, so if they arent going to make a sequel or at least keep updating this game, its just kinda a loose end.

Depends. GB will have modding. And if the 3r party AI will be good, this game could very well become IS4 in a modded gamemode.
For me IS2 and IS3 have the best movement (if you mod it) in FPS and the gunplay and effects, sounds etc. are still the best on the market.

The first mod/indie game copying this will niche-explode (meaning getting a playerbase of around 10k easily) and GB could be a viable candidate. The guns are superb (realism), movement and effects are still lacking a lot, some maps look crap and it's still a long way. But it looks promising.

RoN has the same problem for me - to somehow keep 12-year-old brats from bunnyhopping through the game, adult players have to endure unrealistic clunky movements without being able to jump, or dart away from threats and grenades. It feels off. Like standing in traffic: You want to move, but you can't. It's a well known psychological phenomenon and shouldn't be implemented into games, because it WILL annoy your players, leading to a potential quit and a dying playerbase at some point.

On the other hand, developing games gets easier and easier and what was a serious problem 5 years ago (animations) is easy as pie now (take your phone, let AI do the job, refine it in UE), mechanics in UE5 for example allow for procedural mapdesign, work without the so hated LODs in many areas now, software handle fabric and clothes way better now etc. ...

Good chances for somebody with dedication.

I mean... Some people don't need a new content to have fun. Before patch 1.14 I would say that "new content is always welcome" but now I am not sure. Of course after some time you can be bored. No one is saying that you must play Insurgency 8h per day. I played about 700 hours without big breaks. Sometimes I didn't play 1 day, sometimes 2 and sometimes I could play 10 hours in one day.

Then I got bored. I had 2 months break from Insurgency and now I have fun again. People should play if they want. If you don't want to, play something different. You have this game in your library it's not like you can't come back after break.

I agree. I have roundabout 5000 hours in this game, modding included. Never bores me.
For me it's more about the teamplay than any other stuff. I mostly play with one weaponconfig and would be totally fine with 5 maps and 5 weapons if only some additional mechanics would enhance the gameplay (e.g. more realism, better bots)

Guess it's a lot different for many others though.
One reason why ISMC has been so successful.

I will show your comments to my children one day and say "look, this is how denial looks like, don't corner yourself like this guy".
5000 hours in this game ? You seriously spent all this time in this clearly dead game ? As in dead, I mean its soul is gone. Why play this when you have MW2 with pretty much the same aesthetic. Seek a psychologist or a priest my friend, I am dead serious.

[=TAC= Stuermer]

You have clearly no clue about modding my friend ;)

yeesh, 5000 hours is really excessive in any game, but in Sandstorm I can't imagine it. I maxed out at 1k hours in INS2014 and it was way more fun than sandstorm.

Looks like someone can't understand that "fun" is subjective.

hopefully they stop updating it, every time they do they break more than they fix.

[Rescultir]

The first game was much better, they didn't need to make a 2nd one so quickly.
