About the Game

Insurgency: Sandstorm is a team-based, tactical FPS based on lethal close quarters combat and objective-oriented multiplayer gameplay. Sequel to the indie breakout FPS Insurgency, Sandstorm is reborn, improved, expanded, and bigger in every way. Experience the intensity of modern combat where skill is rewarded, and teamwork wins the fight. Prepare for a hardcore depiction of combat with deadly ballistics, light attack vehicles, destructive artillery, and HDR audio putting the fear back into the genre.

An intense atmosphere putting the terror into modern combat

Move with speed and caution as you push through the war-torn environments of a fictional contemporary conflict in the Middle East. Death comes fast, ammunition must be carefully managed, and the environment must be tactically navigated at every step toward victory.

Insurgency: refined and expanded

For the first time in an Insurgency game, customize your character to show your veterancy with diverse sets of clothing, uniforms, accessories, and character voices. Coordinate fire support with your team, engage enemies with vehicle mounted machine guns, and go head to head in small scale high speed PvP and co-op matches. Wield new weapons and new upgrades to outmaneuver, outflank, and outsmart the enemy.

War at its realest

Continuing Insurgency’s acclaim as the most atmospheric shooter, Sandstorm is built on Unreal 4 to bring its gritty close-quarters combat into a whole new era of realism. Skill is rewarded, and survival is paramount. Feel every bullet, and fear every impact.

I like the tactical challenge with humans and bots. I do wish you would lift the limiting boundaries and develop an airborne or helicopter map, possibly as a door gunner or pilot. maybe better servers and less

One of the handful of shooters that works on Linux and honestly wish I could recommend the game but as it is now I can't. It's fun but there is a severe lack of ability to just play with friends without having to jump

I'm not a big fan of the menus, I get that they were made taking into consideration the console versions, however on keyboard is a huge step backwards compared to the 2014 insurgency, I still haven't gotten used to

This game should've never deviated from it's mod stage, it was so good now it's just slop with tryhards camping in every single corner of the map/buildings/houses/shadows do not buy unless it's in a super discount

there's no option for a nuetral finger, because it seems to be a good game, i feel like such a noob, But it's because i keep losing connection to their servers as usual with these pvp co-op, online multiplayer games.
