Insurgency Sandstorm - Unreal Engine 4

[PinkFloyd]

With the 2500k you should be pretty comparable to my setup - I've got a 3570k. I reckon you should be fine unless the issues in Insurgency are more software related or just random.

As for the refunds, I heard a while back that as it's still in beta that doesn't apply and that you can refund any time in the beta period. Worth double checking though. Either way I'd say 2 hours should be enough to confirm whether you have major performance issues - if you do just refund and revisit it another time?

Yes you can claim a refund in the beta stage..

Might give it a go at some point this weekend then.

 

[pooley]

there is an update scheduled for the end of this month, maybe try it out then cliffyg...

 

[syks]

update has dropped for this people, just downloaded and about to try it, hopefully everything has been fixed, if you haven't already,download it now

Liking the new updated graphics. They have seriously turned up the difficulty level!!! Opposition now a lot smarter. So far no major bugs and liking very much.

I do love this game. BFV isn't getting a look in. Update has been great, bots smartness levels have really shot up, I thought it was too far at first but just makes you work more as a team. Graphics look great, sounds have been nailed. I'm getting far more "battlefield moments" in this game than I did in BF1 or BFV so far. One annoying thing is if you are dead and watching a team mate who has a shotgun, if he reloads the reload animation doesn't stop. Gets really annoying after a while. Can't wait for the full game!

A team mate had his head taken off quite literally by the technical lol!

Isn't it closer to Counter-Strike than Battlefield? It doesn't have sprawling maps and a myriad of vehicles, at least on the same scale. It's more about CQC, isn't it?

Yeah the 2 games don't compare in their map size or available vehicles. The gun play though is so well thought out and implemented. Like I said it has moments where I just find myself saying wow that was incredible! I used to get that on BF3.

I uninstalled physx and the game runs much better. Heard from @humbug that he's switched it to CPU and it's better also..

Hard to picture that to be fair man, sandstorm is a slow paced realism shooter BFV or any BF game not so.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Sandstorm has some incredible moments. I was playing for 3 hours last night with a couple of mates and there were a couple of moments so good we actually used the feature that allows you to go back and watch them again. Yeah it isn't BF but it can still have those moments where you go "whoa that was ******* amazing!!!"

Play for free from December 7 to December 10

Really enjoying it so far, gun mechanics all feel weighty and lethal, movement is slower than BF but not as slow as ArmA. A very good inbetween game that feels fresh.

 

[Conscript]

Can you play for free if you originally bought the game and then refunded it?
I refunded it after an hour or so of play because I wasn't sure it was for me, primarily because the aiming felt a bit weird and unnatural. I'd like to try it again though as I think this might be linked to some of the early optimisation problems.

 

[SS-89]

The aiming and gunplay still feel sluggish compared to insurgency 1 and that really detracts for me. I just don't find it as enjoyable so far! Shall wait and see but I suspect performance and server load are not helping the issue.

Release day boys!

Gonna try the beta, loved the last Insurgency.

 

[Cully]

I played about 4 hours since Friday and very much enjoyed it.
The sound is easily the best of any fps ive ever played,simply amazing what they have done with it.
It creates an atmosphere like no other.
As much as im a fan i cant help but get the feeling while playing that its more like a game update or large patch with new maps and tweaked ui more than a new game.

Downloaded it earlier and had a quick blast offline just to get a feel of it before heading out for the evening. Quite enjoy it, definitely feels like progress made since the last game and the mod before that. Gun play feels... A bit odd at times? But the soundscape is fantastic, very atmospheric even with just bots.
