Insurgency

[Steppenwolf]

Not sure if it has been told somewhere before, but:

How does the gameplay work in INS2? Will there be basically 5-cp maps like in INS before? Are there any "smaller" gamemodes, where the focus would basically be just KotH type of thing in a rather small maps?

Yes most maps are rather small with a central objective. The biggest map right now is Baghdad. If you remember it from INS1. It only goes from the mosque to the gas station now (with a couple new routes tho).

Just saw that the info on the website has been updated. Can take a look there too:

Just read on the forums there's a Libya campaign... how's that going to work?

I've got a few obscure links of photos from both wars in Chechnya, let me know if you're interested...

[Rick_D]

and I've misplaced the old favourites backup with the links in I wouldn't be surprised if they don't bloody work anymore. I'll try and sort it out...

I'll post some random links for now, you might have seen these already but here they are anyway...

Great pictures, thanks for sharing. Some of those home made weapons are nuts, I like this one which is a Mosin Nagant with a hand crafted stock.

[Steppenwolf]

Nice refs! Love the homebrew weapons.

If anyone is interested Destructoid will show the game live in a bit (i think half an hour from now).

Recovered some of my galleries for Chechnya, unfortunately some of them are dead links so there isn't as much here as there once was...

There's likely to be duplicates in those links, as the photos are all mixed. Some fantastic photos in that lot.

Again great photo's, wish there was a 'download all' button.

I'm loving the flying plastic bags .

I liked that too

Since that's alpha, I'm guessing you still have to detail some areas of the map? There were a lot of flat looking corridors and blocky brushwork (like the angled hole in the floor) which are very distracting considering the original Insurgency maps were very detailed. Looks pretty cool so far though, now post some Chechnya media so I can tell you how everything's wrong
