Insurgency is a breath of fresh air and I can easily see myself playing it every chance I get.

The steep learning curve hides a well-crafted FPS, best suited for those who like tactics and real teamwork more than fragfests.

Insurgency is a rich and deep tactical first person shooter. Something is still missing but that something isn't gameplay or teamwork.

I can’t remember when I cursed that much while playing a multiplayer shooter. It is tactically challenging, but suffers from dreary maps and lack of modes.

Insurgency is a game that doesn’t have any big problems but rather it has a bunch of little ones that culminate.

10 years ago this game would have been lost in a crowd of its brethren – back then, everyone had a game with dusty streets, Saddam’s portraits and AKs. Today, serious first-person shooters like Insurgency are a rare beast, so give it a chance even if it’s far from perfect.

If you don’t mind fighting over the same cluttered iraqi streets and desolate afghan hills that you’ve seen a hundred times before, Insurgency brings enough hardcore sensibility and competent execution to stand out from the other multiplayer shooters. The old-school gameplay combined with updated mechanics are a breath of fresh air in a genre crowded with games that don’t understand that failure can still be fun.
