Sure does. Shame it doesn't really have a lot of potential players since the whole MW craze has not only died down but it's only seen as repulsive in the mainstream.

It's pretty good, I just never think to play it. Had some fun doing bro-op with a friend against bots as well.

I like how it looks like it's a two part poster but they're actually just on other side of the same wall

Because it's fucking great. It's a failure on paper since it's a modern military game, it's brown and grey and it's on fucking Source. But it's not.

The single fact that it has one of the best gun mechanics and sounds in video games ever on fucking Source Engine says something.

It plays like a mix between Counter-Strike, Red Orchestra and Rainbow Six. Maps are competently designed, there's a lot of game modes and, as I mentioned before, gameplay is great.

It's not casual. Not as arcadey as Counter-Strike, not as no-fun-allowed-realistic as Arma and not as large as Red Orchestra. It's a perfect middle ground semi-realistic FPS for me personally.

Oh yeah, and explosives are fucking powerful here.

Soggybiscuit does a decent roundup of the game too, but keep in mind that he did it with an old version of the game, and devs update it at a steady pace:

it does, only negative thing about it is its community..which is alot of the typical "WOW U DIED?! YOU SUCK NOOB! YOU DIDNT LISTEN TO ME!!!" obnoxious tryhards.

>tfw win more games when everyone shuts the fuck up than when someone tacticool tryhard tries to "organize" things.

but other than that this game is pretty fucking solid. And in the end its not THAT hard to find a server of non tryhards.

>>263326428
Probably because an indie game that's also a grey/brown modern military shooter.

Enough people still play at all times of the day, though, so it's not like it's dead or anything.

I really like it, which is weird because I thought the mod sucked. It feels like, well, a more lethal Call of Duty 4 with less dumb shit. It's what I wanted a sequel to CS to be like, instead 1.6 circlejerking for a decade.

tfw playing with 170 ms latency because third world and losing every close up encounter since enemy's bullet hit first
its so discouraging, hold me brothers

>I thought the mod sucked
Speaking of that, when devs tried (and failed) a Kikestarter campaign, many mod vets came out of the woodwork to claim that the game looked casualized as hell. It actually did look like that, including weapon highlighting and all the garbage like that.

People didn't really say anything good about it when early access started either.

Now, when the game is out, I don't see anyone complaining about it being dumbed down. What the fuck happened? Did the devs actually listen or something?

about games that deserve recognition, ground branch is still on devellopement on UE4 and the dev lead want to make is game ready for this christmass ... on early acess and a free version

People hate change, hence the CS 1.6 circlejerking that's been going on forever.

I don't honestly know. I think the mod was more fully featured and had more complexity. Personally, I hated it for the simple reason that the draw distance was ridiculous small. Just a big wall of fog thirty meters out that obscured everything. I also don't remember the guns being anywhere near as good: there isn't the supersonic snap of bullets whizzing by you.

jealousry bullshit, there's no weapon highlight and the game is just like the original mod

>early access
EVERYBODY hate early access

>did the devs listen
the devs were always listening, but only the good features went through

>>263323171
It has potential but I'm not so sure about it.
CQC is pretty boring and I feel maps with stronger contrasts like Ministry/Market work better than something like Heights.

Community isn't smart enough yet either. They're all too busy praising themselves for not playing BF/CoD to actually work together and cover objectives. All they do now is charge head first across the map to Alpha/Charlie.

Does /v/ have a group or something for it?

There's no highlighting NOW but it used to be there.

This game is pretty great, but I just wish you could respawn like you do in RO2.

I know I'm not very good at the game, but I don't want to take the time to get good at if I spend most of my time waiting for the round to end
>>
I'd rather just play Red Orchestra

>>263329856
Play Skirmish or Occupy, you get respawn waves.

unreal engine so new

played the game before it went on early access and i never saw those highlight, probably something in the menu to deactivate

People don't play it because it has a pretty high learning curve, with lengthy respawn times, on top of the entire fan base is 100x better than you.

I.e. Dota Syndrome

I agree though, the game is fantastic. It is unfortunately destined to obscurity because people can't be fucked to actually get better at online games these days.
>>
>>263330789
It's not hard. Just requires patience. I have no idea why games like this and Red orchestra are claimed hard as all it comes down is to patience.

Counter-strike is fucking hard at high level, you require:

>Awareness
>Patience
>CONSISTENT aiming
>Lighting fast reflexes

Played it when it was on free weekend, it felt like a watered down Project Reality imo. Kind of disappointing.

I played Insurgency years ago (4-5?). Now I suddenly want to play it again. Is there still a free version with servers to play on?
