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.

Insurgency used to be one of my favorite tactical shooters, but good god… I forgot just how far downhill it’s gone. The gunplay and sound design are still some of the best in the genre, but everything else feels like it’s been neglected. Performance is still inconsistent, hit registration can feel questionable, servers can be frustrating, and it seems like every update introduces new bugs while old ones stick around. The game also feels like it’s lost a lot of its identity with sparse meaningful content updates, a smaller player base, and lobbies that are either full of veterans stomping everyone, people who don’t communicate at all, or running into cheaters on the daily basis. It used to hit that perfect balance between realism and fun, but now it just feels stale. I still love the core gameplay, but it’s hard not to feel like the developers let an incredible game slowly fade instead of building on what made it special.
在你们更新,至今为止,也就是上周的最新一次更新之前,我本来想打好评的,有戏玩法很不错,画质氛围感都很好 但是!!!这次更新给之前所有没见过的恶性bug全部更新出来了,严重影响对局体验,包括但不限于服务器脱机吞子弹 道具掷出黏在手上或者被死亡队友的空气墙弹回来 枪械全自动射击到末尾必卡住无法开火 人机敌人刷在已经占领的据点里或者直接刷玩家脸上直接秒杀 己方直升机专挑队友打,明明引导点设置的很远但是就不打敌人专门打队友 枪械灵敏度设置跟抽风一样每局进去调数据都不一样,FOV视野范围卡死在90无法调整 IED自爆在打死之后倒地依旧能炸死队友等等诸如此类的bug 如果你能接受这些,再考虑买这款游戏,希望会有人修复这些bug,如果你不是一个心里松弛大度的人,不建议购买
傻狗服务器
Nothing will ever beat the feeling of dropping someone like a sack of potatoes with 2 shots, game runs good and plays good, the audio is eargasm. but i really wish they would add more smgs like the thompson, ak9/vityaz, ump, mp9, pp bizon, ppsh41 and 43, maybe those improvised looking ones like the owen gun and some other WW2 stuff instead of the 852nd random 9mm pistol nobody uses
NWI has sold out to a bunch of shady ceo's and investors in it for the money, never buy this game thinking its like the old insurgency, game has been left in the dust, as all the og creators have been pushed out, game studio ceo don't even play games, also so many cheaters in the games that use ESP and aimbot, BUY ARMA OR SQAUD OR HELLLET LOOSE, anything but this dog sh:t
Absolute supreme tactical shooter of all tactical shooters. Accessibility like no other.
From the game side, this game is an excellent hardcore tactical shooter. It mostly plays like Call of Duty with permanent hardcore mode, but that's exactly the middle ground a lot of players would love. Most gamemodes are quite straightforward too, and in the Middle East setting they're going, you can safely say it's a callback to 2007 COD MW. Gunplay and movement is very easy to learn, practically everything you expect out of an FPS games. Unfortunately, once again, performance problem persists if you only meet the baseline minimum or even just recommended specs. In my very short playtime, it's always going to be VRAM overflow that would either crash you into a desktop or freeze on the current frame. It's Unreal Engine 4, and the performance is very unstable in lower end PC and budget gaming laptops like mine. I'd love to give this game a positive review, but if my own system and the game prevents me from doing so, I can't exactly dish out a review from my heart about this game.
Dejen morir a este juego por favor ;-; (10/10)
Жалкая пародия на оригинальную Инсу. убогие карты, убогая оптимизация, был потонциал но его просрали. лучше проходить мимо
Niezła gra, grafika w porządku. Nie można rushować na pałę bo 1-2 pociski i nas nie ma. Przyjemne się gra, a tego się nie spodziewałem po tak mało znanym tytule.
