Product Information

Molotov fire does no damage to a player if they throw it directly at their own feet from a prone position

Fixed an issue where the if a player unequipped all weapons but the knife before round start, they may spawn with no weapons. Iwaniuk, Phil (December 18, 2018). "Insurgency: Sandstorm review". PC Gamer . Retrieved April 1, 2021. Insurgency: Sandstorm’s minute-to-minute gameplay is, as a result, frantic, tactical, blistering and fear-inducing, all at once. Time-to-kill is exceptionally low, with 1-2 shots all that’s required to put down almost anyone. Supported by a handful of competitive and a couple of co-op modes, it’s got some strong foundations for long-term play. Competitive game modes (Push, Firefight, Frontline and Domination) are all objective orientated, with a heavy emphasis upon capturing control zones and occasionally destroying objective caches. The differentiation comes in how frequently your team can respawn and the flow of matches. Insurgency: Sandstorm was officially announced in February 2016 for Microsoft Windows. It was released on December 12, 2018, for Windows; the previously announced Linux and macOS versions of the game were cancelled. [3] The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions went through numerous delays [4] [5] and were released alongside PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions on September 29, 2021. [6]Crossplay is a great way to connect with friends who might not own the same console as you! How to Play Insurgency: Sandstorm Cross-Platform? Cross save, also known as cross-progression, is the ability to transfer save data between different platforms. For example, if you have a character or have reached a level on a PS4 that you want to play on an Xbox One, you can use cross-save to transfer your progress over. Fixed an issue where the explosive launcher wouldn’t appear correctly attached when viewed in third person

Fixed an issue where several optics would become partially invisible if the FOV was changed from it’s default setting An invited player cannot create a party if the leader left the party before the invite window opens Operation: Onslaught brings with it a total of 14 brand new layouts across five modes: Defusal, Free For All, Frontline, and the Limited Time Game Mode, Team Deathmatch. Pull up a chair and feast your eyes below for a more in-depth peek at these new layouts! This doesn’t mean the offering is perfect though, and without even regular staples of team or free-for-all deathmatch, some hardcore shooter fans may very well find the offering light, while some maps lend themselves more to one side or the other, with the occasional steamroll match causing a bit of frustration. These are minor gripes however, and there’s more than enough here to keep competitive players engaged for a good while.

Each team also has a cache to protect. If the caches of both teams are destroyed, the game will be played like Firefight. To win, the enemy cache must be destroyed and all three objectives must be captured. Removed in update 1.4.1 due to low popularity, to decrease queue times, and to allow the developers to maintain other game modes. [13] The non-competitive versus playlist contains two modes that support up to 32 players: Push, Skirmish, and Firefight which supports up to 12. All three are enjoyable in their own right and offer sufficiently unique experiences, but Firefight stands well above the rest. The objective is deceptively simple: kill everyone on the other team or take all three uncontested capture points, whichever comes first. The catch is that because dead players can only respawn if their team takes an objective, the ensuing high-stakes strategy makes each match enjoyable and replayable. The tension is similar to that felt in Counter-Strike’s Bomb Defusal or Hostage Rescue, but with the chance for redemption after death. The six maps are at their best in this small-scale setting, but even here the unintuitive boundaries managed to frustrate me ever so often. Unprecedented audio design with positional voice-chat for realistic teamwork, and heart pounding ambient audio to bring you into the battlefield. Iwaniuk, Phil (December 18, 2018).
