Five years ago Andrew "Argyll" Spearin started his training in the Canadian Army and concluded that most first-person shooter games just don't get it, and don't do enough to simulate the life-on-the-line teamwork that you need to survive in a real combat situation. He assembled a team of like-minded friends online and together they sought to create one of the most visceral modern warfare modifications ever to be released. The result? Insurgency, a total conversion of
Half-Life 2.

Ever since the success of Counter-Strike, lots of modification teams have brought team-based gaming with realistic arms to various game engines, but Insurgency stands out in a number of ways. Graphically, the game has the fidelity of Battlefield 2 but with the tight control and high performance of Half-Life 2. And the art is top-notch: There's a reason that game developers hire people straight out of the mod community, and when you play Insurgency you'll see why. You'll be amazed that you're getting this game for free.


FilePlanet is happy to present the World Premiere of this ambitious new modification this weekend! [See Update, below] Stay tuned to FilePlanet for the big release and watch the Insurgency trailer while you wait. You'll need Half-Life 2 installed in order to play so now's the time to reinstall if you need to.

See you outside the green zone!

UPDATE: Last-minute fixes and polishing moved the release beyond the weekend. Stick around - FilePlanet will be the first to post when the mod goes live.
