There is something very unique about the mechanics and style of this game, it rivets my focus and concentration like no other, it's almost like an altered state.
Insurgency Sandstorm might have the best and most satisfying gunplay, not to mention the gun sounds. I have been wanting to jump back into it for over a year. I love me some Coop and PVP. And I am really curious about the new game modes like their take on S&D and the new maps. Thanks for the video Tomo
After playing modded Arma 3 and Tarkov, the weapon sounds really felt outdated when I went back to insurgency, but still better than most. It's just funny to me how these no-name modders can nail weapon sounds, but the real devs cant. Sandstorm rifles have no reverb when you shoot them, it's a very flat sound. In modded A3, you can hear the shot echoing and bouncing dynamically off the differently valleys, walls, etc. It's AMAZING compared to sandstorm lol
@@R-UBBERD-UCK Yeah the Arma 3 JSRS and Dynasound 2 is really good. Not sure if Dynasound is still supported or not. As I believe most of the larger mods like CUP and RHS got JSRS integration. But been a while since I played Arma 3. But when I used to play with the old squad, we mostly used JSRS because of less issues and dependency
@@Tomographic tomo y u not use quick reload more often? also you're using team wide radio instead of just proximity voice when talking to people next to you, probably annoying for the team.
Unfortunately the most banter I get on PS is people sitting next to a jet engine and yelling racist comments when we lose despite not communicating the entire game 😊
I think this game has the perfect gunplay period. It is the perfect blend of realism and arcade. And that sweet sweet sound design complements it to make it sooo awesome
@@33up24 exactly, map called Outskirts in Sandstorm is almost unplayable in Frontline mode, so imagine maps with BF scale... Something like Karkand or Market could work, but they are similar to the size of Sandstorm anyway...
@@jordannoell4222 Thought the same thing like 2 days ago. People literally do not manage to play the matches properly, keep dying but then it`s "yo people you´re fckn retarded go play cod idiots lmao".
@@jordannoell4222 It's a different kind of toxic than normal though. It's very much like 'locker-room' level of jest. Games like CoD induce a 'i'm gonna swat you' levels of 'jest'.
@@wowplayer160 More scream racial slurs and r*tard kinda jest on NA servers. It is a bunch of 30 year old dudes that think being racist and homophobic passes as humor. The community in sandstorm is the worst part of the game honestly
The best part about Insurgency Sandstorm is the comunity, In no other fps is the comunity this chill and just there to have fun, No actual insults, All just fun
As buggy as this game can be and as BROKEN as the spawns are it's fun as hell and thoroughly underrated. The people who play are friendly and funny as shit too
I ended up picking up I:S because of your videos and had an absolute blast with it. I had been thinking about playing it again recently, and then look who posts another I:S video, lol. The community on this game, when it's good, is really, really good, and I've had many laughs with teammates and opponents over voice comms.
unfortunately its only populated in US servers and thats even if more than 1000 people are on at a time so its near to impossible to find good ping matches. they literally took out the ingame player count cause it was so low, its a great game that plays well but the underwhelming updates alongside them pushing dlc outfits pretty much killed the game this is why most would rather play the first game they could def take the game in the right direction if they actually collaborated with the community and mod makers that have kept this game alive for so long, instead they ignore everyone and act like the game is in a good state
Last night is finally the frontline map I waited for, so many routes, so many good tactics to be used, nice map, but it sucks for push, especially for security trying to push A
Except for the brand new bug (thanks devs) where you get unlimited 40mm grenades, by equipping such a weapon, then picking up another gun & then picking up your own again (it resets the use count). Was on a server last night where a guy got 27x 40mm grenades before he got killed.
Great video as always Tomo! Oh, you did pretty good too Tomo2.0… 😉 Those mortar strikes are brutal! Love that you can hear footsteps, and the proximity chat… both should be standard in ALL multiplayer shooters.
Man I came here not expecting anything special from this game I’ve seen next to no content on, but this was really damn entertaining (Btw quick thing, I prefer the 1x-2x OKP-7 sights, I think it’s better visibility than the big red circle but that could just be opinion)
Tomo needs to lawyer up and take on Tomo for using the name Tomo without Tomo’s permission! There can only be one Tomo! Well..except for in this game where there were 2 Tomos….
still has a tight community especially on cop-op modes. It has gotten a bit of a revive with the PS5 update. It's the game that brought me back to PC gaming and starting a Gaming Channel of my own.
I play this on Xbox, the movement is okay? It’s similar to rainbow six siege but a bit more fast paced, the leaning to aim while moving is clunky tho as it changes when you are strafing compared to when your not, the jumping is glitched as it jerks your screen down then back up again. The item switching is a bit unusual tho and took some time of getting used to
if i died yesterday i wouldn't know about this game today. I was scrolling through the Xbox pass, and I saw this game, I love fps and that's why I installed it. Wow, I've been playing for 6 hours and I can't believe that I missed a game this good in my life... Coop is incredibly interesting, the maps are beautiful, there are many different weapons, and the sounds are perfect..
Imagine that Sandstorm had a good 5v5 competitive scene with a league, tournaments etc,. but the devs never gave a single shit and abandoned us years ago. we did EVERYTHING alone as one of the best players in the world i can just tell you, stay casual gaming and have some fun, its a fucking amazing game. . the comp scene will never rise again. and if, it will be dead in some months and be dominated by the old players like , AoG, TUF, rG, NS will destroy and thats it. Greetings from the most successfull comp player in 2021 and 2022. ( TUF / NS)
Yes, I actually really enjoyed Defusal whenever it was in rotation! It's a shame that the ques take forever if you try to just play that mode on its own though and not the 24/7 playlist for Last Light.
I had this game downloaded in my library for almost a year before i started playing it. Just started a couple months ago and some game modes are very fun.
Custom Co-Op PVE servers are really fun on insurgency fo sho, audio design in the game is good too. I hope they will fix the bugs that came with the new update tho
It's been out on PS5 and Xbox Series for over a year now, has it not? Or is that just backwards compatibility with the PS4 and Xbox One version? I haven't been following
Love sandstorm. Just played it so much it feels cookie cutter at this point. Glad there’s a new map. I’ve gotten too aware of all the hot points on all the maps, it becomes far less of a challenge.
Girls when they play games: “wow look how real the sky looks” Guys when they play games: “did you hear the splatter from his head? his heads actually gone”
Tomo needs to comeback as cameos in future videos, the combo is too perfect
Nice try Tomo
yeah it's nice hearing the originals voice for once
Agreed, please find him and have games with him
Bring back Tomo!!!!!!!!

its always pretty cool seeing yourself in random videos by youtubers you watch
This game is fun with friends in hardcore checkpoint, role-playing as special ops. Awesome game man
Just started playing this game. Didn't even know it existed. Enjoying it so far.
Great one.
Do some of the older games like Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 and the previous to that perhaps.

You made me redownload this game.
I played the first Insurgency and it was amazing.. I think i should play this one. Btw so good to see you sniping.

13:03 "it's an ass worth saving" - underrated line from Tomo as always
I like how Tom actually writes about the game and his experience in the description unlike others who just copy paste
they could add a ranked mode where it’s a bit more competitive. Would be cool to have something to play for and ranks to reach
They had a ranked firefight mode, it got removed because no one played it.
Dude it's hardcore every match is competitive for the fact u never know where anybody could be or coming from
