Insurgency Sandstorm (PS4)

Product Information

Peek around corners, tactically breach doorways, use smoke to cover your team’s advance, and call in air support. Fixed an issue where opening the scoreboard at the beginning of a round would cause the player to move automatically Sequel to the indie breakout FPS Insurgency, now with 5 million units sold. Sandstorm is reborn, improved, expanded, and bigger in every way.

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.

The damage area of the AN-M14 Incindiary may suspend in the air if the grenade explodes while airborne 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. Fixed an issue where the vehicle door icon would display when interacting with the Technical turret

Early in development, Sandstorm had a planned singleplayer and cooperative story campaign, described as focusing on "a squad of characters as they face increasingly challenging chapters, from the invasion of Iraq in 2003 through the insurrection period and leading to the present day." [14] A trailer for the campaign was shown at E3 2017. However, the campaign was later canceled in January 2018. Tsarouhas explained in an announcement that it was canceled due to "high production requirements and our commitment to deliver to our fans in 2018". He added that the initial plan to set the game in an actual conflict was restricting and "admittedly, sensitive", and clarified that the conflict presently depicted in Sandstorm was fictional but drew inspiration from real conflicts. The announcement claimed the campaign would be "considered again at a later date"; however, no news related to the campaign has been released since. [2] [16] Release [ edit ] The gunplay too, also feels thoroughly enjoyable in a way that was, quite frankly, surprising. From popping off single shots through broken splints in a wooden fence, to dumping smoke into a building and going in with your gas mask or following tracers during a night battle with your optics, the gunplay in Insurgency: Sandstorm is fantastically evocative in a way that other games just haven’t been able to manage as of late. Do I recommend Insurgency: Sandstorm? Absolutely! Whether you are looking for an excellent FPS, arguably one of the best I’ve played in recent years, or just looking for an alternative to the Call of Duty formula, look no further. Unlike other FPS titles, Sandstorm will challenge you and force you to think less as a player, and more like a soldier. It’s “time to kill” is ridiculously short, forcing you to be tactical and precise. It focuses on skills and delivers a satisfying and immersive experience. Firefight: Both teams must sequentially capture all three objectives. Dead players only respawn when their team captures an objective. The match ends if the enemy team is eliminated or a team captures all three objectives. Insurgency: Sandstorm review – the definitive edition of an ageing war". PCGamesN. December 12, 2018 .
