Things that would suck for Insurgency Mod

Expendable Grunt · 06-08-2007, 06:47 AM

Being one of the many people anticipating Insurgency mod, I can't help but wonder...what if it's not all it's cracked up to be?

Not the mod itself I mean, but what happens to the mod by the players?

What if:

*It attracts a TON of CS:S noobs that play it, but don't go away because it's "easier" to grief people? They just run around and do stupid crap but manage to pull off "leet" kills anyway?

*Servers lag to hell because all the ones hosting suck?

*Mod becomes so easy to hack? What if it becomes the next AA in terms of aim hacks and the like? Maybe VAC isn't so great after all...

I wouldn't worry about CS:S noobs. I played plenty of HL2 mods, and I can tell you that in most of them, CS:S noobs leave pretty soon, or never even come at all. Like, take Dystopia, which is too complicated for them... Or, Eternal Silence, which has spaceships, again, too complicated. Or, Iron Grip: The Oppression, which has a whole RTS mode, which is just too damn complicated for them to comprehend. I predict that CS:S noobs will download the mod, see that it lacks Desert Eagles, and leave soon afterwards.

I found that most HL2 mods have nice, dedicated communities. Yes, there are assholes, but in general, it's not a bunch of CS:S kiddies. I predict that Insurgency won't be that different.

The more popular a game, the more people that play it. The more people that play, the higher the proportion of idiots. Insurgency looks to be very popular indeed, so expect lots of idiots.

Insurgency is just a great gamemode.

The only problem is all the people who don't get the rules.

I see a comrade shooting down a civilian (or better civillain). I tell him not to shoot them and one second later another civ has a full magazine in his chest...

Things will be even worse with the new intelligence system because most people just don't read any rules or guides.

We're talking about the mod named Insurgency for HL2, not about the game mode.

Yay, another mod I can play extensively, and then abandon when it goes commercial.

I would be surprised if Insurgency attracted the CS:S crowd.

From everything I've seen and friends who are in the closed Beta CS:S crowd won't stay

	It was the year of fire, The year of destruction, The year we took back what was ours. It was the year of rebirth, The year of great sadness, The year of pain, And a year of joy. It was a new age. It was the end of history. It was the year everything changed.
