It's been 7 years since the release, I can't be held responsible for all the server hosts choosing to run this mod or not to. I'll see what I can do though. Lack of solo is a technical limitation that is simply impossible to overcome, it must be played on an online server I'm afraid.

solo unsupported / online dead, no reason to download.

It's been a long time my friend. I haven't been active in Insurgency for a few years myself. I wouldn't be surprised if there's nobody left to host AoF. Would be cool if someone did host it though. I even have an old unreleased update that adds two more supported maps or something.

Hey, Servers for this Mod are gone!!!

What happened?

Thanks you reply! Now,Everything is ok,It may be a local file problem, thank you again!

Sounds like custom models not loading. Are you a server host or simply a player? If you're hosting, see if sv_pure is 0; better yet, follow the pinned discussion thread "Hosting an AoF server" just above. If you're a player, let me know which server this issue happens on.

How to fix the display error of the heavy-armored character model in the game？

Yeh i came late to this rip, i was playin in 2016, but ignored the workshop

@Spinach: https://ins2u.online/tools if you want host on your own.

@Spinach there's still a Polish server running and I'll likely resume hosting my Moscow server a bit later. The mod's still playable, even though I can't deny it's far off its 2016 peak to say the least :p

how are the servers for this in 2021?

Nice Mod with a very nice guide. Brillant work, brillant support... Thanks!

Love you mod
I have moved from a Windows platform to a Linux platform but all of a sudden my heavy gunners do not display properly, they have the work "ERROR" on their bodies when I kill them (that is if i see them)

Any idea what i have broken?

Thanks for keeping the mod alive!

UPDATE: Army of Five v1.4 released. Changes include bug fixes and support for new maps: station_aof, dedust1p2_aof, arcate_aof, as well as updated gizab_aof and winter_rescue_ws.

SERVER HOSTS: if you already have an Army of Five server, please download this archive and extract it to your "insurgency" folder on the server: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p8lpyt5vhgx9g50/aof_update_v14.zip?dl=1
Then restart your server 1-2 times to make sure that the update is fully applied. Thanks!

IF YOU'D LIKE TO HOST AN ARMY OF FIVE SERVER: please see this topic!

I know this is "a little" late, but I've fixed the mod. The new version is v1.3d; all 28 supported maps should work fine now. There are also some minor technical improvements.

I'm currently hosting one Army of Five server in Moscow, Russia. Refer to the server hosting guide above if you'd like to give the mod a try.

Please remember that solo mode is not supported - you *have* to create a dedicated server and follow the instructions.

plz make a "army of eight"

extra roles:
-medic (can revive, really fast, only starts with a pistol, very weak)
-juggernaut (starts of with an LMG, no sidearm, slow, lots of ammo, high armour)
-assassin (has a suppressed sidearm and smg, can throw smoke, very weak, one shot headshot.) just a draft

For some reason scavenger's exosceleton durability doesn't show on display any more

servers still active?

I'm afraid they kept releasing updates which kept breaking the mod pretty bad, and at some point I admit I gave up figuring out and fixing all this stuff. It was painful to do and it was a massive waste of my time. I mean, I can't blame the devs, they were improving the game itself but it was destroying the mod over and over again. I might consider going back and making sure that it's still playable these days but I have other things to attend to right now. I appreciate your interest in the mod, though.

Are servers still populated?

This mod is AWESOME, much wow, many thanks.
Is there any way to adjust ammo? Too much ammo, for my taste.

Solo mode is not supported

What is the keybind for Rifleman's Godmode?

Will you consider remaking this for sandstorm? apologies if this has been asked before.

Appreciate it Rushin!

100% thanks for the feedback and a great mod

Well, due to the update all the servers (AoF or not) must be updated first. And Sourcemod support for Insurgency most likely needs to be updated now too. And since this update reportedly broke linux support, they'll probably be releasing another update at some point soon.

Once everything is stable again, I'll look into whether or not AoF support has been broken yet again. For the time being you'll have to simply wait I'm afraid, there's not much I can do right now.

Is it just me or does it look like the new update broke this again?

Подписаться на мод здесь, дождаться загрузки, запустить игру, в списке Кооперативных игр найти этот режим и выбрать один из доступных серверов. Играть в одиночку возможности нет, а чтобы поставить свой сервер, гайд для этого доступен выше (на англ.)

как его запустить?)

@staryoshi06 The server hosting guide explicitly says that it is not possible to host a listen server with this mod. This is because you cannot load Sourcemod plugins on listen servers, and the AoF plugin implements about half the features of the mod. So yes, please refer to the server hosting guide. It's right above this comment section, in the discussions.

Wait no it's bugged. I joined a server and it still didn't let me play still.

Oh nevermind, it doesn't support solo.

Is there a quick way to host a listen server with this?

Rushin' i have a strage glitch to report. Its a small matter now that I know about it. Whenever I launch an AoF game, all my paused steam downloads start to download. Makes for some wicked lag. Only does it when I start AoF. Posted just in case anyone else is getting serious lag in AoF, check those downloads. Re-pause than back to the running game.

@U n t i t t l e d: the file size is displayed for every workshop item at the top of the page, on the right of screenshots and videos. For AoF, it's ~207 MB. With Steam's compression you only have to download ~80 MB. However, the supported custom maps add up to about 1.6 GB (not sure about the compressed "download size"). Hope that helps

Army of Five has reached 10'000 subscribers.

Thank you guys. Back when I was making this mod I had no idea it would ever get this much attention. Hell, I remember celebrating 200 subs milestone back in March 2016.

The mod now has ~22k viewers and 10k subs, which means almost half the people who loaded this page decided to give this mod a shot. That's pretty crazy if you ask me.

Also, despite us developers not hosting any servers ourselves, the mod currently has servers running all over the world - US, Europe, Russia, China, Africa. So special thanks to our server hosts. Without you, the mod simply wouldn't exist.

Magnifico.

@Диган Да понятное дело, но "команда разработчиков" мода - это полтора бесплатно работающих энтузиаста. Моделлить, текстурировать, анимировать, формально описывать, балансировать и полировать новые виды оружия - это колоссальная работа, которая проделываться уже, к сожалению, не будет. Но я рад, что мы сделали и довели мод до ума.

Единственное что хотелось бы пожелать, это по больше оружия на все классы!:-)

@Диган Спасибо :)

Просто офигительный мод для ПВЕ кооператива, всем рекомендую качать и играть, динамика в игре в разы увеличилась.

Cool mod, very fun to play. GJ!

Released v1.3c update. Full changelog here . Key changes:
- Implemented a different fix for the issue where no bots spawn at all sometimes.
- When under very heavy fire, Scavenger will now take reduced damage. This shouldn't affect most of the gameplay, but tough situations should now be simply bad rather than totally fatal for Scavenger.

Current server hosts should download and apply this patch [drive.google.com] by extracting to the "insurgency" folder. If you'd like to create a new AoF server, please follow the server hosting guide .

Have fun, and hopefully the bots will always spawn correctly now.

Updating AoF to v1.3c, please be patient.

Rushin' - Scavanger is still my favorite class. One thing that could make it better - After you pick up a weapon and it is empty, we should have a way to discard it or it could just auto drop to the ground. There are times when I want that picked up item and times when its best to not have it in the way, empty or not.

What are you trying to do there Dogman? You don't need to worry about custom theaters. If you want to host a server, follow the server hosting guide, it's very simple. If you want to play solo mode, you can't, because even if you do, most of the features will not work at all. Other than that you don't need to mess with things like theater names at all. Army of Five is not just a custom theater, it needs a special sourcemod plugin and some other files to run properly.

is it listed theater_army_of_five_default ? for custom theater?
