'Insurgency' Content Update Adds New Map, Weapons, Game Mode

Insurgency is a first-person team-based shooter for up to 32-plus players based on the Half-Life 2 total conversion Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat.

Insurgency is a hardcore multiplayer experience which deploys players into a squad-based shooter reliant upon strategic teamwork to gain victory in close-quarters combat. In an FPS market packed with blockbuster titles, Insurgency distills the genre down to its essence. Gamers must hone their skills to master the robust, high-quality gun mechanics, while coordinating suspenseful attacks upon their enemy.

Among the wealth of new features in this update, Nightfall (coming to Steam on October 29) will be highlighted by introducing a party system to connect players with their friends in game, nightvision goggles for updated night time maps, a new level called "Verticality," two new weapons: AK-74 and M4A1, and a brand new co-operative game mode called Survival.

“Night combat adds a lot to Insurgency. The game is already very intense, but when you are forced to pay attention to the shadows, utilize night vision, and flashlights, Insurgency truly turns into a both terrifying and highly enjoyable experience,” said Jeremy Blum, Founder and Game Director of NWI. “The new Survival mode brings the most out of this experience. In it you must move from safehouse-to-safehouse, and evade enemy detection with your friends. The enemy gets more and more difficult as your team progresses, and with the cover of night it can get quite scary as they attempt to surround and eliminate you and your team.”
