Both the class system and the game modes available feel like refinements of the systems from the original Insurgency rather than fresh new ideas, but that’s no bad thing as that was by and large a very solid game.Ī big improvement from Insurgency is the quality of the AI in the cooperative mode. These strikes are very potent and really reward a team willing to work together. The most interesting classes are the observer and commander, the commander can call in support like artillery fire or various types of air support but only if there’s an observer available to relay the commander’s orders. All of the weapons and attachments are available from the off so if you’re unfamiliar with modern weapons it may be a little overwhelming at first. This is pretty intuitive and can be quickly achieved during gameplay between spawns. Choosing your equipment is based on a weight system, allowing you to add such things as more armour, explosives and weapon attachments. There are limited numbers of each class (except basic riflemen) so teams won’t contain enormous quantities of people toting sniper rifles. Most of these are fairly self-explanatory and just change the weapons gamers have access to. There are even some vehicles on offer, though these are more in the vein of armed cars rather than tanks.īefore you spawn players will need to select a class/role, of which there are quite a few. The competitive mode maps offer a mix of tight linear areas and wide-open areas, even within the same game, in a similar way to some of the better maps you’ll find in the likes of Battlefield. In coop you have a team of eight progressing through a linear, but not so narrow as to feel constricting, map. The game-modes on offer all involve securing and defending fixed objective locations. The gunplay is excellent, weapons feel satisfying and even reloading has a surprising amount of depth to it partially used magazines remain partially used and just go to the back of your reloading queue, unless you interrupt the reloading process in which case they are dropped. The end result is a fast-paced and brutal shooter, which encourages thoughtful gameplay by only allowing respawns in waves when your team takes objectives. The gameplay of Sandstorm veers closer to realism than the likes of Call of Duty or Battlefield, but not to the same degree as Arma. You can also play the coop modes in singleplayer but you’ll be missing out on much of the experience doing that, and sadly the planned campaign was dropped fairly early in development so if you’re after a singleplayer game Insurgency Sandstorm is probably not what you’re looking for. Just like the original, Sandstorm is a shooter in a modern setting, with both competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes. ![]() Insurgency Sandstorm is New World Interactive’s sequel to Insurgency – which came out early in 2014. ![]()
