About

Insurgency: Sandstorm delivers hardcore tactical combat where death is instant, ammunition is precious, and victory demands skill and coordination. Experience modern warfare's raw brutality through deadly ballistics, devastating artillery strikes, light attack vehicles, and HDR audio that puts the fear back into combat.

Push through war-torn streets, secure objectives, and survive lethal firefights. With no crosshair, minimal HUD, and realistic damage, every engagement demands tactical awareness and precision. Manage your ammunition carefully, use cover wisely, and coordinate with your squad—because in Sandstorm, there are no second chances.

Modern combat rewards those who communicate and adapt. Choose from specialized classes, coordinate devastating support strikes with your spotter, and respond to constantly shifting frontlines. Individual skill matters, but teamwork wins the fight.

Battle in intense PvP matches with up to 14v14 players or face relentless AI in co-op missions that demand tactical precision and squad coordination. Whether you prefer competitive firefights or cooperative survival under pressure, Sandstorm delivers.

Powered by gritty visuals and an unmatched soundscape, the chaos of combat comes alive without clutter or distraction. This isn't your typical shooter—this is war as it truly is: brutal, ruthless, and unforgettable.

Oyun güzel ya türk askeri felan yapa biliyoruz ,teroristlerle felan çatışıyoruz ben sevdim yani
война Израиля и Сирии взял рпг и начал прицеливатся после чего ко мне подошёл союзник и со словами за Россию воткнул мне нож в спину, полсе чего я зашёл в игру
Absolutely love the game, weapon and movement play feels pretty dang good. My biggest complaint, is when they update the game, they seem to break something on it, mostly on the outpost mode.
Start up round See somebody named Benjamin Netanyahu EVERY SINGLE INSURGENT ♥♥♥♥♥ their gun EVERY SINGLE INSURGENT is wearing a kufiyeh (or shemagh, etc.) EVERY SINGLE INSURGENT emptys their magazin into Ben Every time Ben respawns he gets shot in the face by a teammate Ben ragequits VC is loud as hell with laughter and happiness 10/10 round 10/10 community 10/10 game
Тот, кто писал сетевой код и распределение игроков по пингу стоит 229 бутылок запихнуть в зад
waste of time and money
Ready or Not gets boring after you S class all maps once then you never want to play again because matchmaking is garbage. Co-op in Sandstorm will forever be fun. Bought on Xbox, killed 20 people as last man standing in a parking garage(Tinnitus is proof you had fun kids) as security in a ghillie suit with a 50bmg sniper and a glock with my Batman gamertag. The lobby was just saying "It's him/He's him" Best Realistic Shooter experience out there, Arma is trash compared to this game. Operator Early Access, take notes.
Life long FPS player here. Started with COD, fell in love with fps' through Battlefield 3, and the rest is history. This game is something special and im extremely excited to see where they take Insurgency moving forward. I'm predominantely a pve player, and the pve in this game is PHENOMENAL. Such a fun balance of mil-sim and arcade shooters to make something truly unique that still holds up like fine wine, years after release. Easily one of my favorite games
