First-Person Shooter
Insurgency 2 is the standalone version of the Half Life 2 Mod Insurgency. It is listed simply as "Insurgency" on the Steam page. The game follows a simple team-based conflict with various objectives from capturing objectives to increase territory and spawn waves to search-and-destroy missions on weapon caches. Going for realism, the game lacks most typical HUDs seen on today's first-person shooters, such as no ammo counter and no crosshair on screen. The team members are separated into two squads, each with its own special classes meant for specific roles such as rifleman, sniper, demolitions, support, and such. Players are able to customize their loadout from their classes' options, including a selection of primary weapons, sidearms, grenades, and armor and vest accessories, though they may choose to ignore any or all of them. This is done by using Supply Points, which are given at the start of a game and in some modes, can be increased by completing objectives or progressing through the next round. Each team, the Security Forces and Insurgents, has nine to ten classes, each with differing weapons and equipment choices.
In January 27, 2016, the game is further developed with a mod expansion titled Day of Infamy. The mod takes the game away from the modern setting back into World War II. Currently, the mod allows the player to play as the American and German army. The mod also plans to add the British Army into the game as well.
