Question
Over the years I've become a fan of realistic FPS/MilSim games such as ArmA II, ArmA III and the like. The problem is, most of the games I play take place on massive, sprawling maps that aren't very good for CQC combat. The AI is programmed to fight at this range and, most times, will begin shooting at you the second you begin shooting at it.
Lately I've been wanting a tactical/realistic FPS/MilSim game set in a CQC environment. Essentially my criteria are
Close quarters combat (no enemies at 500 meters firing on me with mortars and a tank)
Realistic (People should go down in a couple shots, guns should be loud, have weight, etc.)
Coop (vs. the AI) and Multiplayer (vs. other players) options
Reasonable critic/metacritic or player reception
Must run on Windows 7, came out in the last 6-8 years with online multiplayer and still reasonably sized playerbase.
Other criteria that would be nice, but might narrow the scope too much:
Is on Steam
Medical system (bandages, med kits, morphine, etc.)
Avid modding community
3D scopes
3D VOIP or 3D VOIP mod
Explanation / Answer
Since we bombed miserably with TAKEDOWN, I thought we could redeem ourselves with... Insurgency!
Firstly, it has a pretty good Metascore; 76/100 by critics and 8.9 by users. After playing it for a couple hours tonight, I would give it around 8.5/10. The only let downs I've found are that the control feel clunky sometimes and all footsteps seem sound the same.
The realism is good, you'll die in a couple hits to the body and recoil management is definitely required when firing on a target.
The maps are very similar to small Battlefield 3 maps and are well structured. There are also no vehicles, or long range explosives. The tutorial did mention an RPG, but I have yet to see one.
You can play with bots, with other players, or even with bots and other players.
Released last month on Steam, no problems running on Windows 7. Runs great on Windows 8.1.
All in all, it's a good game and I think I'll enjoy it for a long time. At $14.99 currently, it's fantastic value for the price.
