Is this game ever going to get another update

[Daddylongdck]

Or is it abandoned

[Praise The Red Sun]

Updates come late, it's always been like this since I've been playing, but they're always good except sometimes they break something but then they fix it.

The game isn't dying. At least not according to stats.

It's in a steady decline.

There's no "new dev", it's still NWI, even if some developers have left the studio (the original insurgency brain left NWI 5 years ago).

NWI has been only by name for years, even before the release of Sandstorm. The other main figures leaving the studio over time didn't help either.

It's like saying Nokia now is still Nokia. It's not, it's just a brand name bought by HMD Global, the team that made the brand the way it was is no more.

Exactly what I'm saying, this game never has been the "original" crew, maybe in the beginning of the development 2016 or sooner. Sandstorm is Sandstorm and won't change anymore. WYSIWYG.

If the updates will be anything like the last bugfest, then you better hope they don't.

But they will, and eventually we won't be so lucky to receive hotfixes before they just up and dip.

As a coop vs ai player, what other games that aren't very old should I look at for coop team vs ai?

Ready or not - swat 4 like game, lots of equipment, got mods for new levels, really good enemy ai, slow paced.

Ground branch - pacing is a bit like sandstorms hardcore mods, got better weapon customisation, slow and tactical, got dedicated servers, i think up to 8 players per team and up to 50 enemies, missions either to kill all enemies, or to find Intel and extract.

6 Days in Fallujah - prob most hardcore one of these, up to 4 players and 4 premade classes, got 4 levels, but everytime they are randomized, so each time they are little different, very tactical and gotta work together to success.

These are the best ones so far IMO, they are all early access, so alot still to be added to them, but still can sink hours in them already, ngl sandstorm is still my fav cos its most faced paced of bunch, but for variety i play them all.

Honestly, I don't care about "creativity" just give me an FPS that scratches that old casual CoD itch and make it super popular.

Go back to COD then. COD has never changed and it's always going to be super popular. I'm not really sure what you're on about at all. Why are you bothering to play this "dead" game if you want that COD itch so badly?

Honestly L4D2 is still a great game, if you can deal with the rawness of the "community"

With the last one, I agree. Wished they were bought not by a greedy investor, but by someone with ideas and creativity. This game is still a gem and could be much more, if these economic geniuses at Embracer wouldn't be completely out of touch with game-development.

Guess they put their money to the new title instead and let IS:S hang out in the wind.

Yes it is, and yes according to "stats":
https://steamcharts.com/app/581320

On that chart July 2023 (the latest month) has as many players as July 2019, July 2020 and July 2021. Hardly dying.

I wouldn't hold my breath - it's quite clear now they don't see the potential in the franchise. They haven's 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.

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.

How can I play that coop mode, I have been looking for something like that? Is it slow paced like hardcore mode?
