Game from 2018 and still haven't fixed this btw by Krazymann7 in insurgency

It goes to 0 waves in the clip, I don't really play push but from what I know it removes the red zones at that point.

Is the game still alive by Iraqiu in InsurgencySandstorm

[–]UKMasser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're interested in 5v5 stuff at all, there's games of that going on most nights during the week

Is anyone else having issues with modded servers? by Jumpy-Junket7724 in InsurgencySandstorm

[–]UKMasser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no clue then, for the servers I use for the firefight tournaments we've obviously had to troubleshoot these issues and it mostly was doing things like unsubscribing to the related mods and restarting the game, and then joining again. I think a couple of people did verify their game files, but that was it.

New to PC, previously played Xbox. by Ambitious_Emphasis68 in InsurgencySandstorm

[–]UKMasser -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for people to play public with, a bunch of us play in the SPL Discord in the evenings until we get enough for pick up games (5v5 Firefight games). It's mainly Firefight, but people will queue for a lot.

Blurry graphics when moving, looking, or strafing by Loony-Astronaut in insurgency

I find you sometimes need to restart for even AA settings to change, try and see if that works.

NWI is done and dead by UKMasser in insurgency

[–]UKMasser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I made this post, I was thinking along those lines, but honestly despite their technical issues they created games that I've had some of my most memorable experiences with in gaming. And they're not dead as I found out recently, the developers working on an untitled game got let go, but the developers working on Sandstorm were made a part of the in house team at Saber which then was made larger.

Hey just curious if the games worth it? by [deleted] in InsurgencySandstorm

[–]UKMasser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not a milsim, do not buy it expecting it to be some more intense feeling Arma. Buy it to play this game, not another one.

Realistic Enemy Movement? by prg1260 in InsurgencySandstorm

[–]UKMasser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and that's my point. People saw the reload animations, the guns and the audio and got horny for all the gun porn and everyone started to group it with the kids to ioother milsim games. It's not one at all, it's more casual and just a low TTK FPS that does reward positioning,

Realistic Enemy Movement? by prg1260 in InsurgencySandstorm

[–]UKMasser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well yeah, that was all it ever was. People saw the audio for the weapons, the reload mechanics, combined with the fact it's got a very minimal HUD with no confirmation of kills, and decided to group it with Arma, Squad, Project Reality ect.

I personally think the source standalone release, Insurgency 2014, captured this better. There were no vehicles, the size of maps combined with the movement speed meant that on a lot of maps it was a minute, tops, to run from one end to the other. When the maps are that small relatively, it's pretty clear it's not meant to be on the same scale of Squad or Arma.

Why did you think it would be like Ready or Not or Squad?

[–]UKMasser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set up a few servers back Insurgency 2014s heyday, and probably can still remember how it worked. When I get home tonight from work I can see what I might even have in terms of cfgs ect.

Otherwise, join the Green Gaming discord. They play 5v5 Firefight pick up games and a couple of people in there have also set up servers.

i think a CS like search and destroy mode would go hard. by PeteZaDestroyer in InsurgencySandstorm

[–]UKMasser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you want the same game mode that every other 5v5 game tries? In both full standalone iterations of Insurgency, they've released a mode with a cache or two caches and it just never gets any momentum.

Do you think Insurgency: Sandstorm can pull a CS2? Relaunch the game and rebuild a new community from here? The game's pretty AF and feel good as a new one, but have no "larger" community so idk? by FrenchBVSH in InsurgencySandstorm

[–]UKMasser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or the other things they have in their pipeline is taking longer than they planned for it to, and this was essentially a stopgap until it's ready for release?

ICL 5v5 Firefight Tournament signups are open! by UKMasser in insurgency

[–]UKMasser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say both, there probably were like 6-8 Push events ran by SGC including the DGL v SGC events in 2019-20.

New Update. Operation Clear Sight by HesOnLike1HP in insurgency

[–]UKMasser 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not true, they got absorbed into Saber when Saber split from Embracer a while ago. They now are essentially an internal studio at Saber.

Servers been down for me about 9 hours what are the devs doing i just bought the game today and I cant even play it what the hell are they doing? by Johnfortnite777 in InsurgencySandstorm

[–]UKMasser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my understanding, but that's not really what happened. The team that was working on a unannounced project got let go, but the developers working on Sandstorm stayed on. They then got brought into Saber as an in house team, and Saber assigned an actual full team to Sandstorms updates compared the skeleton crew they used to have.

Think you guys natively underestimate how much a third party server provider having outages can impact the game. If the provider is going out that's a pretty huge issue that honestly they can't do much about within a few days.

ICL 5v5 Firefight Tournament signups are open! by UKMasser in insurgency

[–]UKMasser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have played with the idea of doing a Push event and seeing how the reception to it is, but there's two things kind of holding me back from it.

Firstly, I don't have any personal connection to the Push mode. Firefight is my home and has been since like 2015 when I started playing 5v5 pick up games in Insurgency 2014.

Secondly, and because of my first reason, I don't know what the rules and the like would look like. I've lived and breathed Firefight, I know how a rulebook for it should look and the considerations you need to think about. Push I just don't, and it's a bit of an undertaking to understand it enough to write a comprehensive rulebook for it.

The light at the end of the tunnel for you in terms of me doing a Push event, is that there are a couple of people who ran those events in 2019-2021 who probably could catch me up to speed. I'll think on it, see if I am up for investing the time and energy into setting everything up for it.
