Insurgency was great, but I never got into Sandstorm and just stopped playing Insurgency at that point. I think they were expecting to go big with the sequel, but it was always going to be a niche game.

As a former dedicated Insurgency player... Yeah, there were very few people worth keeping at NWI. They made an awesome concept for a game and then had to spend years upon years fixing incomprehensible, Garry's Mod level bugs.

And let me tell you, Insurgency at the end of its life was becoming a humungously popular game, and they announced and released its sequel, Insurgency: Sandstorm far too early.

So NWI had made a lot of very silly mistakes, and yet there is a wonderful game with a wonderful community still there.

This is really a shame. Insurgency is one of the best FPS games I’ve ever played
