Forum Question Is Insurgency Sandstorm a tryhard game?

Post image
167 Upvotes

I’ve always wondered this because I consider myself a competitive gamer, but I notice that not many people seem drawn to this game. Despite being out for a few years now, it still has a solid community, though I rarely see it attracting new players.

First things first: Hardcore Co-op. I don’t think I’m off base when I say that probably 80% of players prefer this game mode, even I have never touched PvP. I like military games, gore, and having friendly fire enabled. Would it be wrong to say that this game is only alive because of Co-op?

One major downside I always complain about is that sometimes the AI goes way overboard.

I’ve had moments where I get taken out instantly with a flick headshot. Some might argue that’s how it’s supposed to be since it’s "hardcore," but... just yesterday I had a ridiculous situation with the AI. A teammate and I were pushing towards the next objective. He was ahead of me, and as we rounded a corner, an insurgent spotted us. Even though my teammate was right in front of him, the bot completely ignored him, gave him time to fire, and snapped directly onto me instead. I really wish I had recorded it—it felt super unfair.

Other times, the shooting angles bots have are just broken. For example, there are matches where a bot on an upper floor can hit me continuously even though only the top of its head is visible. Imagine trying to shoot back at a bot that shouldn't even have a clear line of sight, with barely any target to hit. Pretty unfair, right?

This is just my opinion, and I’d love to hear what you guys think. Even though it might sound like I'm just venting (which I kind of am), I wanted to see if anyone else has run into similar stuff.

For example, this is guaranteed on the last obj on tidway (security) also the second to last obj precinct (security)

1st obj on gap (security)
3rd to last obj citadel (security)
Etc.

Bug Report Magnifier bug?

3 Upvotes

Hey all.

I have noticed since the patch that added the H21 that there is a bug sometimes with the magnifier (on the H21, and maybe other guns) where I can't flip it on or off. It seems that it is usually right after I reload. Sometimes I can't even ADS or shoot. I haven't been able to pin it down on the cause exactly, and it's kinda inconsistent. Swapping weapons to the pistol and back does fix that current instance of it, as does waiting for like 30 seconds to a couple of minutes, but that's massively inconvenient in a gunfight. Anyone else experience this? I'm on Xbox, if that matters.

Just wanted to put out actual video evidence of how buggy and how bots actually cheat in case if people call me crazy from my 2 other posts.

The first half of the video is of hit detection problems the second half is how bots cheat. First clip i miss all my shots except the last one that literally hit him in the head you can even see his head flinch back but not die and the last one is how bots can know where you are through walls and just shoot you through it.

And sorry for the quality it's PlayStation not me.

Im posting this to show awareness of how absolutely buggy the game is and how cheating the bots can be

Edit to mention but did the devs who designed frenzy mode even playtest it at all because the amount of times bots just blatantly cheat and one shot you or are absolute bullet sponges like the bruiser juggernaut guy and how teleporters can literally cheat their teleports just to instakill you without any time to react. Especially the bash attack they will do it will either have extended range that the player doesn't even have and instakill you or they will stun lock you so you practically cant do anything unless they glitch out and dont immediately attack you so you can have a chance to kill them.

Gameplay Question Bot server strategy question

6 Upvotes

There are bot servers that scale the enemy bot count, like 40+, 80+, 120+, etc. I discovered a strategy where if you defend a capture point, and the point has a doorway that the bots enter, you can block the doorway and use smoke. The bots will pile up and your body prevents them from entering. Because they can’t see you in the middle of smoke, now you can knife them all. I stock up on smokes and use smoke launcher. Do you think that strategy is too exploitive?

I recently had a bad experience with a kid who kept killing me even after I stopped blocking the doorway for him. And he typed in caps lock all the time.

CQB with a team I had played a few matches with. No mics involved; just pure instinct and awareness. Hardcore Checkpoint is where this game really shines imo. I’m going to make 4 separate posts that includes gameplay of my time on maps outskirts and precinct.I noticed the bots have actually become able to perform tasks such as crawling, throwing more grenades, and being more aggressive which I find really fun and challenging to fight against.
