I saw this shot on digitalgrenade.com (www.digitalgrenade.com), so I'm assuming that it's a newer version of the USMC model. Awesome looking mod though.

WTF why are the enemy guerillas armed with M14's? WTF WTF WTF that is dumb as hell.

Why no AKM's? WTF...

I think it has more to do with the fact that the M-14 was most likely finished and the AK was not when that render was taken, I dont think the insurgents have M-14's and I can ask one of the Dev's myself if that is the case, which i seriously doubt it is.


Wormie nice dude that is cool to have a few familiar faces here.

[Alleycat]

Hey im a forum member over on INS too. Except my name is AlphaXray. But yeah that mod is gonna kick major ass.

[Falco]

No canadian troops !!!

[Virus]

Yah there are quite a bit of insurgency weapons, just the m14 was the only fully finneshed model i think,


M-14
SKS
AK-47
FN L1A1
AKS-74u
Sterling L2a3
IMI Uzi (my fav :D)

RPK
PKM
M-60
Mg-3
RPG-7
SVD
Enfield L42A1

and then a makarov and a 1911 :o

And folks, thats just the insurgent side :D

and BTW they are planning on including more than just american and brit, russians and canadians are being planned(possibly) and other forces might make its way in after its been released for awhile and gameplay issues have mostly been worked out

[Pandy]

I like this...

It's looking great. It's sad to see so many of the other contenders fall rather flat because they didn't put out good SDK's.

[Virus]

Well half-life2 will be out on the 16th (i freakin hope so) and the SDK is supposed to come with it or so ive heard, so INS krew shouldnt have any problems, especially since they are all really talented dev's

[Operation Ivy]

SDK is out

Why no AKM's? WTF...
actually insurgents equipped with m 14s r quite possible...i remember seeing a pic of women militia in eritrea or somalia equipped with Stg 44s, AKs, various bolt action rifles and an M 14..if i can find the pic i'll post it.
better yet here is the thread that has the pic i was talking about...

Is it not possible that an insurgent could of scavenged an M14 eh? Think people think!!!

Me :) I lead it ;)

[b33f]

that mod sure looks interesting, that increases my "me-wants-hl2" attitude even more, but!:

while digging through the site i noticed that: http://www.insurgencymod.net/index.php?id=usmc a usmc grenadier has 2 (TWO!) 40mm grenades to expend (but instead of carrying more of them, he carries "extra MG ammo", wtf?),

especially when looking at this thread: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=29415
i wonder even more why modern combat simulations (like FSW or AA:SF) tend to consider game-balance more important than realism.. or are there other reasons as well?

[b33f]

and the "lethal" radius (kill radius) of a M67 is 5 meters, (the casualty ("wounding") radius is 15 meters)...

just my 0.02 cents

[Spearin]

Some things need to be sacrificed for gameplay.

We just released the first screenshots today:

[Ratamacue]

I'm guessing that that's a portion of a map that you guys put together in Hammer? Looks pretty nice.

[Argyll]

So the SDK is independant of the actual game?

Interesting..........very interesting!!

[Fee Fi Fo Fum]

yea im looking forward to this mod... looks really good, i hope it will be realistic...

[NicNZ]

Hmm hope the modding community will get behind it.

Then we'll see a nice (read: massive) range of weapons etc

[M1A2U2]

its a shame the pouches on that british para arent accurate

[wiking]

Looks great.

i want Norwegian troops in there, that would really be sweet.

[Stormy]

Me want Iron sites!! :hug:

[wiking]

Me want Iron sites!! :hug:

Me to. There's to many games that could have been better had they implemented that, R6: Raven Shield to mention one.

[DnA]

The insurgent/guerilla forces will have a variety of different weapons, AK47, Uzi, M14, SKS, RPK, etc

http://www.opcoin.net/index.php?id=guer



And Canadian Troops will be added in the future.



Like what was said before, for the loadouts, sometimes realism has to be sacrificed for gameplay, but we will keep the mod as realistic as possible.

[GazB]

There was one mod for half life that tried to be as realistic as possible. It was called Firearms or something and was quite good, but ammo capacity wasn't realistic. (ie only 2-3 grenades for underbarrel grenade launchers etc)

[Digital Marine]

Looks really cool :)

[EffJi]

Me want Iron sites!! :hug:

Me to. There's to many games that could have been better had they implemented that, R6: Raven Shield to mention one.

Realism:

Weapons will act like real weapons with sway, recoil, and iron sights. Bullets will also act like real bullets with ballistics, penetration, ricochet, and damage.

Level environments will have a high quality of realistic detail and interactivity. They take place in real and fictional locations around the world during past, present, and future conflicts.

:D

[Shrap]

For those who wants some iron sights with old school graphics but amazing realism.

[East]

Wow, looking forward to this mod. Especially the future expansion with the PPCLI in it.

[cerealkila]

theres a mod for halflife called hostile intent, and it is by far the most realistic game i have played. you can only shoot your gun when you have it up to sights, and you run slower when you have it up. also, you have no HUD at all, and the only information you know is how many magazines you have left when you reload.


http://www.hostileintent.org/site/news/

[Solo]

I just bought HL2 for this upcoming mod, today.

[Sabre]

Had a go at the 'Hostile Intent' Mod.

I have to say, it sounded like a good idea but I'm not a fan.

It's still the same 'run around and blast people' type of game. Not being able to fire unless your sights are up is unrealistic. In CQB, you WILL hit the enemy if you fire without aiming perfectly.

Visibility on the darker maps is crap. NVGs are useless, the screen is almost completely green.

If you put on a fresh mag (as you would before clearing a house) you can't put on the half empty mag later, it just disappears.

Needs some major improvement before it is as 'true to life' as it claims to be.

[Solo]

I like America's Army. Don't know if it is the most realistic one - if we can even talk about realistic software - but AA's not easy to master at least, and the honor paradigm is by far the best database centered "scoring" system to date. Not perfect, but very good indeed.

[budgie]

Will there be any SP content?

Depends on what you're selling. Sell 1/6 or 1/35 scale Insurgency models and you've got yourself a purchase.

[Blarney]

wow......but really, an M14 to an insurgent is uncool, let them have their AK47s the M14 is too cool for them.

I do like the Marine with the FLC, that game is gonna be big

[Solo]

You must be kidding me. Yes I've been a member too.
Before I go, do you think this is just a beauty render or will it somehow be actual live usage in the game?

[Seth]

It's the actual model that will be seen as driver, or passenger. The only difference between this, and the in-game images will be ambient lighting, specular and normal mapped surfaces etc.

And just so you know I'm Seth, the lead 2d artist for Insurgency.

Humvees going to be uparmored?

Marines going to have the all sexy A4's?

[Seth]

Yes, and Yes.

[Ballistic]

Yeah gotta have A4's none of that A2 stuff !!! :D

Can you give us an idea of what attachments can be used on the rifles ? Like AN PEQs, Aimpoints, ACOGs, MARS ? Will the M249's bipods be deployable for added stability, and can it be mounted onto window sills and sandbags etc. while standing up ?

Will there be an M240 ??

:D :D

[Seth]

I can't comment on the moddability of the A4. The art team has not yet decided on that, as it's low on the list of features for our first release. I can, however, comment on player custimization. The body will have areas where the player can specify what type of gear they want to use. for instance I can choose to have goggles on my helmet, or I can wear a camelback or marine assault pack etc. etc. There are numerous other locations on the body, this was just an example.

And yes, the m240 is slated for in-game use as a GPMG. To be carried by infantry along side the M249.

Is it only going to be USMC or other corps may be in there?
Just curious, and I know this might have been answered already there (and sorry about it).

I might just follow a link if you're so kind to post it to read about it, else I'll see for myself around.

Bad Karma - just by chance - you're not from the AA clan Bad Karma, are you?

[D.Sigurdsson]

Yes, and Yes.

Hey Seth, got any news when there will be a playable version available? It looks so sexy man :D

[Seth]

So far the only American forces slated for in-game play are the Marines. And player custimization will be available for all teams in the game.

And no I can not say when there will be any form of release. The nature of modding comes down to how smoothly you can impliment all your features. And although it's annoying, you sometimes run into large snags along the way that can slow you down by weeks. And although INS isn't spewing media, I just want to let you all know that everday we're getting things accomplished, so when you see our next big update... your pants will be blown clean off. Garaunteed.

I'll take you up on that one, and if they dont you're gonna haveto buy me a beer and remove them by hand :D

[Ominae]

Actually, it's quite right that a guerilla have an M-14. Remember the Americans did given away a lot of their M-14 in their stock. Don't forget that Norinco also made their own version of the M-14, so it's not unusual if there are M-14 rifles in the hands of certain guerilla or terrorist groups.

BTW, put some Filipino or modern JGSDF troopers in there. They're kinda cool!
