Good to you back, Insurgency Sandstorm remains at this time the best gun handling and one of the best sound designs of the FPS genre, thats why its refreshing to play it again after giving some time. The problem lies in the lack of big updates, i wrote this in another video, so i wont do a essay here, but unfortunately the last REALLY big update was in March.
Absolutely, as a sound recording engineer I am always blown away from 3 titles:
1. Insurgency Sandstorm
2. Squad
3. Ready or Not
Those 3 titles are hard to beat in terms of sound design.
I honestly think insurgency is still the best FPS on the market ,If it just had better graphics and More multiplayer game modes like S&D and more outside the box game modes.
It would be top of the steam charts the Gunplay is so smooth.
Hopefully someone takes over this studio.
Insurgency is COD for adults
this game is garbage
aint no one finna have fun witta milsim game

6:27 someone get a radio for this habibi
Damn he really missed his Allah god
This game needs another dev team to come and give it love. The OG devs made a masterpiece deserving attention
What do you literally think the current team is doing?
It feels like 2019 again! 🥲
This making me wanna hop back on!
No joke i binged some of your insurgency vids yesterday after playing for the first time in 8 months. Happy to see this again.
So happy seeing you pop off 🔥🔥🔥great video fam 🔥
You and Sick Snipes are the first people that got me into sandstorm right before it released on console. A few years later and over 2400 levels on PS5 I'm happy you did. I hope to see you someday try out the console version, the next Gen update with crossplay seems poised to release soon, with the PS5 version seeing the trophies leak recently.
Anyways, thanks for all the content over the years, always happy to see you come back to IS every once in a while (:
Hey, i just want to thank you for shining light on this bad boy of a game. I had it on my shelve and was playing mw3 all day, but i got too frustrated, first matches were fun until sbmm kicked in.. so i saw your video and took insurgency. Best decision of my life. All i ever wanted from a shooter was there and on top of that i LOVE the insurgency community, i have a lot of depression attacks but i swear to god the community is do funny a lot of times they made my day to better
Not regretting anything never going back to call of duty love the video and game so much !!!!
I'm so glad you used the OG theme at the beginning
One of my favorite shooter of all time no bullshit. Idc how many people claim it’s dead asf, WHENEVER I hop on I NEVER struggle to find a game. Maybe it’s a region thing but this game always brings me joy. Whether that’s shitting on some scrubs, getting shat on, or just the goofy ass people I run into who makes me laugh a ton. Fucking love this game dude, so glad to see ya back
Absolutely worth playing! Community servers is where it's at. I'm running 3 servers myself (Hellscape 1, 2, and 3). Also the modding community is terrific. I currently have over 65 user created/imported maps added to 2 of my servers. Those, along with several quality of life mods that add new weaponry and healing/reviving capabilities have really extended the longevity and replayability of the game. Come check it out!
Ooo yea! Insurgency still has some of the best gunplay. Went back to the game as well. Even playing pvp more this time around
6:30 somebody get that man a damn radio
Damn really cool plays!
Keep the sandstorm content rolling, it’s hard to find any good content for this game. I love this game, and the toxic community lol. I’ve literally been watching all your insurgency videos, even the ones I’ve already seen.
Toxic the community is actualy decent its not cod
3:03 don’t forget about how the pee goes in but pops back out the toilet
Hope this game can make a comeback !
I don’t see why they can’t just Fortnite the game and make an item shop that would supply their poor team..
@@user-rl9ub7nz2h that’s exactly what this’d game does NOT need
ur arenas videos are awesome :))
the music at the beggining was the menu music from the first times of the relase , took me back to that times . its Crazy that its been 6 years now and i'm still enjoying playing this game so sad the developer studio is closed.
they didn't close! they plan on working on the game for at least another year, i thought
@@kylehagie1647 yeah the developer confirmed more content
It's a shame bc this game has great gunplay and ragdolls (I'd say its on par with cod) but the modes don't fit the game. Tries to be too fast paced
@@TheUltimateHacker007 L take. gunplay and ragdolls are both better than cod. the modes made specifically for the game that exist nowhere else (push, frontline) definitely fit into the game for which they were designed. if you want something slower, try squad or arma.
@@kylehagie1647 those are 2 slow with clunkier gunplay. I just wanted sandstorm to have better alternative modes bc the ones you mentioned are boring.
the adaptive scope on the shotty is devious
I fucking loved the P rant
Hello from PT, i love u playing insurgency jesus 🙃
Ayo, can you please make a bit more content on insurgency? U really killing it
We need more videos with push 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ouh yeahhhh
Setting? Medium or low?
Funny I purchased the game way back and only now after the PS5 I started playing; the game was blurry, now it looks incredible
Do you remember Sicksnipes ?
It says can’t connect to world services for me? Please someone help it’s been like this for a while, I deleted reinstalled already.
Sad that ı've only got it on Gamepass became one of my favourite multiplayer shooters to play for fun at the end of the day (and for some reason ı was quite good at it since my first match) but not sure ı'd be willing to spend money to get it on Steam/Epic since it might be on its last legs we'll see.
Hey everyone and Gibs😎 included ..do you think they should do a Re-Release and/or make it cross play ?
Where is the Team
Deathmatch on PS5, I can only see free for all
Now ARE you playing at 1440p?
mwii wishes it was sandstorm so bad, but it’ll never be the GOAT
maybe we can get an unreal engine 5 version of this or day of infamy would be nice.
Hey man where’s all the katpiss content? I miss my main man ranger in the dungeons
IS is a good game in general, but it just feels like there's something missing. For a couple years I've tried to put my finger on what, and havent been successful.
The only way to figure out what is missing is: to play other similar FPS, which have things made slightly different, and then to observe and compare them with Sandstorm, in a very analytical way.
And to discuss it with other people, because someone can have noticed a detail that you have not
Personally I compared Sandstorm to other tactical FPS such as: Rising Storm Vietnam, Insurgency 2014 (which feels significantly different than Sandstorm), Ground Branch, as well as other games I watch in video.
And I have taken a lot of time thinking about it. And at the end here are the main things that Sandstorm would need to not feel off (at least to me):
(It is a little long sorry)
1) more gritty and raw colors, similar to Insurgency 2014. In order to visually feel more raw and immersive
2) suppression effect when bullets fly close around you (or when an explosion happen very close to you)
--> your peripheral vision is significantly darkened and blurred; and your recoil is quite higher, and your aim is not 100% static anymore but a little moving which makes target acquisition harder, and your reload speed is quite slower, and your aiming speed is quite slower)
Such a feature would give a very high and super immersive "danger" feeling when bullets fly close to you. Both visually and in term of gameplay
3.1) When taking a serious non-lethal hit (from bullet or explosive): the peripheral vision gets temporarily significantly darkened and blurred, and the view gets slightly red for the same amount of time
(~5-7 sec) then it gradually disappears (or
not entirely, depending on health status)
(Currently when you take a serious non-lethal hit there is nothing but a tiny red filter..)
3.2) When taking a serious non-lethal hit (from bullet or explosive), or when taking a bullet hit in the leg: the ability to sprint is disabled for ~7 secs, and the walking speed is reduced by half for the same amount of time (and if you were sprinting when being hit: it cancels your sprint; and you cannot sprint again before ~5-7 secs)
And when taking a serious non-lethal hit when sprinting: it cancels your sprint (and you cannot sprint before ~5-7 secs)
(Because currently you can take a serious hit and still sprint everywhere as if nothing happened, which is quite bad in term of immersion and gameplay in my opinion)
3.3) When taking a light or serious hit, the recoil management gets worse for ~5-7 secs as well as aiming speed, as well as reload speed. Then it gradually becomes
normal again (or not, depending about health status. If seriously wounded: then it stays)
4) A bleeding effect, similar to Rising Storm Vietnam: when taking a serious non-lethal hit, you can (this occurs randomly when you take a serious non-lethal hit) start bleeding. And you slowly bleed out, and if you don't bandage yourself: you bleed out and then die (and the screen becomes more and more dark, starting from the peripheral part of the screen, as you bleed out and until you die).
And you have only one bandage for each life
With all of these features: it would give a super high and immersive "danger" feeling. And would make the stakes higher.
Which would be a huge improvement in term of immersion and gameplay in my mind (things would feel way less arcadey)
Because currently you can have lots of bullets fly close to you, you can even take a serious hit: it has zero effect (except giving you a tiny red color filter on the screen). So there is zero "danger" feeling.
Additionally:
5) Nerf side stepping speed when shooting from hip or full auto shooting (to prevent overpowered arcade "spamming left and right while full-auto hipfiring" stuff).
At least nerf the ability to spam left and right: make things so that if you spam left and right it makes the changing of direction slow, starting from the 2nd or 3rd change of direction
6) Nerf jump mechanics (to prevent CoD-like overpowered stuff). Basically: give a 0.5-1.0 sec delay (depending on the height of the jump) between the moment player's feet land and the moment he can fully run&gun again (like a "little delay to find balance again after jumping and landing" stuff) (and same stuff after a little fall).
And also give fall damage sooner. So that if you jump from the first floor of a building you take at least some damage (currently you can jump from very high without problem, which is quite un-immersive and overpowered)
7) and finally, very important: rework full auto so that full auto becomes more "bouncy" (your line of fire bounces more when you fire in full-auto). Because currently the line of fire barely bounces in full-auto, allowing full auto to be accurate at very high distances; which is unrealistic and quite un-immersive and makes full-auto super overpowered.
And also make the recoil gradually increase as you keep full auto firing. Similar to how it is in Rising Storm Vietnam (thus the longer your full-auto burst is, the harder it is to stay accurate and control the weapon. Which is realist/immersive and very balanced in term of gameplay).
And additionally: include "reticle bounce" when full auto firing. So that things becomes more realist and balanced, and more dificult to aim when full auto firing
(Because currently your reticle does not move at all when you fire full auto, it just stays at the center of the screen and does not move. Even with magnified optics. Thus you can spray full auto at 100 yards while still being full accurate, particularly with magnified optics, which is super unrealistic and super overpowered).
All these changes would make full-auto gameplay more immersive and balanced. Because currently full-auto is way too overpowered
8) Last thing: give us some small-scale 5vs5 CQB-based game-modes. So that we can fully appreciate the CQB gameplay of the game
So basically here are the things that are lacking in Sandstorm for me, and makes it feel significantly off to me (despite its very good qualities).
If you read all of this congratulations and thanks for your attention!
I would be curious to see if you agree with what I wrote, and if you think that what I pointed out hits right
waos this music...
They could revive this game if they just added more of the community maps to MP
Oh zaddy better see u on servers soon
If you're not Piss Kyle you better clean up.
Rumour has it this Company (The Developer) is Facing A Financial Crises. A Cash Flow Situation. So, if you're reading this I would quickly Refund Your Investment in this Game.
Get rekt
IF YOU PLAY ON CONSOLE TURN CROSSPLAY OFF OR YOU WILL RUN INTO GUYS LIKE HIM ON PC AND HAVE A BAD BAD TIME ON CONTROLLER.
Aren't they still shutting this game down?
