yea its worth it for pve. gunplay is fun and the maps are great. i have 150 hours played. Plus its on sale

[FattY]

Yes. Sometimes it's really challenge for you. Enough maps and guns. You can try it.

For sure. Insurgency had always been about coop. Unique modes, great teamwork, very flexible difficulty, and great community. I've played pve on all insurgency releases and will never go back to pvp. After trying out a couple rounds on official servers try the community ones. You'll find yourself getting wiped if you dont work together.

Yep, the coop is fun
My 1500 hours are of just that

I'd say PvE is the game's strong point, honestly. There's several other games out there that do what Insurgency does in terms of PvP better, but very few that offer what Insurgency does in terms of co-op PvE.

[Di-rear]

yes and i dont even like pve

[dibondone]

Yes. And for coop you have ISMC mode which is great. Also If you want slower paced, tactical gameplay look for OLD DOGS servers, they are great!

[crouder]

Yes!

[Pollito]

Yes. Insurgency Co-op is all I play

[Nitrous[A]]

Yes. I have almost 1100 hours of just coop.

You can have some grand fun with a group of people you know just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around, or trying to make it through every public server round with 0 people dying (it's great fun if you know where to provide support, even if it feels like you're guarding the bot lane on a moba or some ♥♥♥♥.)


If you've never played a 'semi-hardcore' shooter before, you will be in for a great surprise, it's mechanics make it a little trickier than most standard shooters, what with its free aiming, low TTK, diverse loadout systems, loud sounds and scary noises.

It's still pretty fast paced and light on the draw in standard coop. You move from point to point to take over the map, while pushing enemy forces back, while they throw waves at you to try and stop you, including artillery strikes and gas attacks.

Hardcore hides some hud elements and makes your characters slower, which adds a lot of weight to your decisions, and the AI is quicker to respond with better gear and tactics (allegedly). Also, if you die, you start with nothing but your selected handgun and a bolt action rifle. Oh, and you only get ammo in between capture points, sometimes there will be a resupply box so you can change/refresh your kit. Gotta pick wisely from the start.

There's also survival.

We don't talk about survival.

Well it's more of a 'move to the point, get a randomized weapon, move to the next point' type deal, but really, all it has is people rushing the ♥♥♥♥ out on all the points and making it harder for everyone involved. It's pretty terrible.

BUT

NGL if you have any experience in tactical shooters, (or really just a good headset, sense of awareness and sharp reflexes) you will master coop in less than a week,

On default coop, you can just bunnyhop your ass across the map and 360 noscope anything that moves, the enemy often not having time to even consider your presence. The only parts where it gets annoying is when they have a dude with a shotgun, because they can just strafe around corners and 1-tap you from a mile away as somehow always one pellet manages to hit you square in the face.

On hardcore, it's pretty much the same thing of picking up anything that shoots more than one bullet per minute and mowing down the conga-line coming to the point with 0 effort like in the old red orchestra mod days.

And after that it's off to the 'even harder' hard mode community servers that are never populated when you have time to play.

Either that or you can kneecap yourself by running around with pistols or bolt actions only, or go on knife runs in standard (because you are literally 5 times faster than doomguy and the AI can't aim fast enough to hit you.)
