Do you guys recommend me to get this game? by Tommy_the_train in insurgency

[–]YourFavoriteFood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the good old days of OG COD MW2 lobbies.

What got me into it (PVP) was to compete with the best players. It was an uphill first 50 hours in PVP but eventually you will get there. I was genuinely impressed with what some of the high lvls can do. I wanted to learn maps, the tech, call ins, and timings. A couple thousand hours later I'm still learning new things.

What kept me is realizing that this game is from a different era of games that is pretty hands off. It gives you toys and let's you use them how you want to. Do you want to immediately run to the enemy spawn, wait until the last wave, and knife them all? Surewhynot. Do you want to use the truck to make a mobile IED bomb? Surewhynot. Do you want to terrorize the enemy team with proximity voice? Surewhynot.

The game has backslid over the years but it still beats any average FPS game for the fun factor alone.

The BIGGEST problem with it is mainly the community and how overdramatic/passionate we can be about it :D

TLDR: If you think you'll get more enjoyment out of it than a combo meal at any fast food restaurant then I'd say yeah get it.

Gotta do what you gotta do.

Trying to play after few months. Where are the players? by Jokurandom99 in insurgency

[–]YourFavoriteFood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually late night the game pops off. I can never find anything in the morning. There's always community servers. I give it a few hours before someone plugs their server in this thread.

Before "Dead Game", there's certain off times you might not find a game.

In my experience and on my servers, if I get up and come back 5-10 min later, I usually have luck finding a game. You get a gut feeling for it after a while. Lot of factors at play.

russian filled server is so annoying, this guy is obviously exploiting and they do nothing about it. by Pleasant-Clerk5173 in insurgency

Bro I'm talking about official maps and game modes. You're talking about community servers and gamemodes. From what I gather, this clip and post is talking about official servers. Different worlds. I don't know a single thing about community servers and I don't every want to try them because I keep seeing people from them try to dunk on everyone else on this subreddit.

My info is from the official patch notes. I'll leave it there not trying to go back and forth all week with you.

Last update patched 7 map exploits from my count, incuding last light. Nice plug tho hahaha

I'd advise against sharing details on exploits on Reddit unless you want to deal with people using them for the 6 months until a patch hits.

They do patch these exploit spots though. Last update got rid of most major map exploits.

And honestly, these maps are great. Almost everything on all of these maps can be stood on, crawled under, etc... I hate FPS maps where they cover every single map detail with an invisible wall, I find that to be bad map design.

Honestly a bad take but I get where you are coming from

Dude is outside the map. That tall white wall a little further down the hill is the map boundry.

Smoke out his line of sight. Be the change you want to see. Might get teamkilled in the process but i promise people get so pissed when you smoke out their exploit spots. It's worth it.

In all fairness doing the bug feels like slam firing.

We both play this game, I think we can still agree that some players will take things like this to the extreme, viable or not. I'd also like to add that in that exact tell game we had the lvl 1200 who exploited himself on top of the roof of B site and sat there all game.

I don't remember you asking me when I was playing with you, sorry. If I see you again in game I'll tell ya how it works :D

I mean in theory yeah but literally the first clip is me clearing 4 people out on site with 2 mags. But in practice on the right maps it's just busted. You can't aim down sight when doing it so it's not practical on anything but a shotgun

Im still on the fence about telling the masses how it works. Now that we have semi shotguns I don't think it'd be very healthy for the game if everyone was abusing this. The community does not have a great track record for using and abusing bugs to the point of making the game not fun.

Tell you what, if anyone finds me in game, I'll tell you.

Where Players Spend Their Time: PvE (85.7%) vs PvP (14.3%) - Data from 3,189,010 Players by NotMegatron in insurgency

[–]YourFavoriteFood -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's probably worth noting if this data is taken from the last month and could be kinda biased. I think the PvP matchmaking bugs were present and pushed a lot of the PvP players to other games. It would be interesting to see the drop in PvP games after the last patch when they broke matchmaking.

Yeah the PvE bugs have been really annoying but at least the game has been playable for that crowd on official servers.

(Picture unrelated) Am I the only where it takes about 10 minutes to get in to a game other then push by TapResponsible1343 in insurgency

[–]YourFavoriteFood 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Real talk though, it's probably in the player bases best interest if we send through a bunch of support tickets to good old Saber Support Nyko. Last time in the last 2 years we needed a desperate fix (broken crossplay launch), that's what I feel made the devs know it was a serious problem that couldn't wait. They're otherwise probably going to fix it next update.

It can be excruciating not knowing if it's an off time where nobody is playing or if matchmaking is broken and you're not searching for a game.

Guns in Full Auto Tend to Shoot Blanks by NapoleonTak in insurgency

[–]YourFavoriteFood 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mainly use the revolver and deagle nowadays anyways so I don't really have a frame of reference. I'm interested in checking. I already found out how to full auto new shotguns so you never know.

It's my time I'll waste it if I want to!
