Insurgency Sandstorm - Unreal Engine 4

You havent said what game mode ,Depends on the game mode.

Local solo play checkpoints against bots, there's only the one mode, thought it would at least give me an option to try and claim the checkpoint back rather than just say I failed :( still enjoying it though. thought I would try it for a few hours and maybe refund but think it's got a lot of potential.
 
I assumed you meant co-op versus bots which is a 10x better experience than local play.
Give it a try, it really is so much better than playing local play alone v bots.
Also PUSH , FIREFIGHT and SKIRMISH will be available to you this way too.
 
just had a game of coop vs bots on the checkpoints, forgot the name, and it was really good, just some random people as well. Still amazed at the sounds as well probably some of the best
 
Been playing a lot of this over the last few days, only playing the co-op vs. the AI but it's really good fun - love the weapon customisation, sounds & general feel of the game.

Sometimes I get really frustrated when trying to pull out a grenade and getting caught halfway through the animation, feels like it takes forever!
 
Looking for a new game for when I take my PUBG breaks :p

Does this have an online/squad play mode? If so many people from here play using the OcUK Discord?

It has online PVP and Co-op mode. No 'squad' mechanics (where a team is split up into multiple squads), but people tend to work as a team together.
 
This is on sale at the moment, so it's down to about 20 quid on steam. So now that I have upgraded my system, I decided to give it another chance. It's much more enjoyable this time round...mouse feels smoother, so perhaps this is due to my better frame rate. However, I've almost exclusively played co op so far. Perhaps I'm getting old, but I found myself hopelessly outclassed in multiplayer. But co op has given me several enjoyable hours so far.
 
New patch today, new weapons feel great.

They do...but it seems they've broken the optimisation again. My framerate seems to have taken quite a hit, and there's several areas where it drops to unplayable levels - we're talking like 5FPS or so, just as a result of looking around sometimes. Summit was always the worst map for me for frame rate, but it wasn't a bit problem. I've just had to leave a server because it was unplayable.
Such a shame. The new MP5 is utter class, but it feels like 2 steps forward and one step back when the game is palying as badly as it did during it's infamous beta stage.

On another note....has anyone tried this?

I've always found mouse aiming in this engine a little "odd". But I figured it was the best I was going to get. Did a little digging into raw input and found the above link about adding a parameter to to the input.ini file to disable mouse smoothing. Didn't think it would do much as Mouse Smoothing in the settings is already disabled - but I tried it just now and it's much better. I'm much more precise and aiming finally feels "right" again. Not quite sure why such a setting isn't off by default.
 
Weird I never had any issues with stuttering or fps since I bought this, had one crash to desktop but otherwise seems fine, couple did leave a game I was playing just before as they had fps issues
